May Expand Mental Health Program in Arkansas
LITTLE ROCK AP The director of the Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services outlined a plan to broaden the states mental retardation program by leveraging additional federal funds. The proposal aims to balance use of state children colonies public schools and community services and relieve colony overloads.

The plan envisions alternatives to nursing homes such as privately operated facilities or supervised group living and hinges on potential federal cost shifts to boost matching funds for 7.5 million in mental retardation and medical services across programs.
