Opening Doors to Hope: CabCo's Focus on Behavioral Health

As Cabarrus County enters a new era of behavioral health care, we're detailing the collaborative journey that led us to this stage. From discussions about the County's Behavioral Health Department to a first look at the "continuum of care" planned for the Regional Behavioral Health Center, this episode explores how CabCo is clearing a path forward for those struggling with mental health.
