TX HHS Form 2817. Local Mental Health Authority (LMHA) or Local Behavioral Health Authority (LBHA) Monthly Report

The TX HHS Form 2817, Local Mental Health Authority (LMHA) or Local Behavioral Health Authority (LBHA) Monthly Report, is a crucial tool for tracking the progress of youths placed through the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) Project. This report must be submitted monthly by email to [email protected], with all information updated no later than the 5th business day of each month.

This form requires key information about each youth, including their name, date of birth, and legally authorized representative (LAR). The LAR's contact details, as well as the LMHA or LBHA's own information, are also essential. Additionally, the report includes sections for treatment goals, both for the youth and their LAR, as well as updates on RTC treatment and education.

The TX HHS Form 2817 is designed to help LMHAs and LBHAs provide critical updates about youths placed through the RTC Project. By submitting this report regularly, these authorities can ensure that all necessary information is shared with relevant stakeholders, such as Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) caseworkers. This form is a vital tool for streamlining communication and promoting effective treatment outcomes.
