Ongoing efforts continue to be necessary to build a statewide system of services. Case Management, a necessary service in accomplishing a successful return to an independent and functional life, still resides as a pilot project for Northern New Mexico counties only. Training for many existing providers - including developmental disabilities, substance abuse, mental health and education has yet to be completed. Lastly, prevention and education efforts for the general public, persons with brain injuries and their families, and state agency personnel must be in place in order to prevent costly injuries and influence public policy on the state and community levels. Legislation passed in 1997 has made it possible for Case Management and Life Skills Training in all counties throughout the state.
Current efforts are toward evaluation on accountability of current programs.
