State officials announced a dramatic decrease in institutional placements, alongside the launch of new community-based services and increased service rates. This development follows a Department of Justice (DOJ) finding four years ago that Nevada was unnecessarily segregating children with behavioral health disabilities. The state has since invested over $100 million in children's behavioral healthcare, aiming to provide more integrated and less restrictive care options.
