SEATTLE — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee unveiled on Tuesday his budget and policy plans for fixing the state’s struggling mental health system in the coming years. Inslee said at a news conference in Burien that he wants to change the system from being “crisis-based” to one that focuses on prevention by providing mental health care to more people. “There’s too long of a line of people trying to get into the mental health system,” he said. The governor reiterated his plan to move mental health care away from large institutions to smaller community-based centers.
