Creating regional pediatric mental health hubs

Summary

The bill directs the West Virginia Secretary of Human Services to set up three regional hubs that maintain real‑time service directories, wait‑time maps, and telehealth kiosks. It also requires a behavioral health coach to contact parents within 48 hours of a crisis and diverts 5% of out‑of‑state residential placement funds to pay for these services. The goal is to keep children at home while they receive timely mental‑health help.
