Eliminate the Wait calls on behavioral health and justice system leaders to strategize locally to reduce wait times and improve outcomes.
The Eliminate the Wait Toolkit
The Eliminate Wait Toolkit outlines a set of strategies for behavioral health and justice professionals to help reduce the wait for inpatient competency restoration services in Texas.
Eliminate the Wait Regional Forums
