Idaho Behavioral Health Council releases state mental health four-year plan • Idaho Capital Sun
The Idaho Behavioral Health Council on Tuesday published its latest strategic plan to strengthen Idaho’s mental health care system.
Detailing recommendations through 2028, the council’s new plan — available online — outlines 11 priorities for Idaho’s behavioral health system.
The recommendations include: bolstering Idaho’s behavioral health workforce, improving foster care services, making sure that people who enter and leave the criminal justice system receive continual care, and supporting people exposed to on-the-job trauma, like first responders.
Past recommendations by the Idaho Behavioral Health Council have “helped establish local behavioral health centers, improve crisis response, and provide local treatment options for youth receiving psychiatric care in other states,” council co-chair and administrative director of courts for the Idaho Judicial Branch Sara Omundson said in a news release.
Over several months, the council developed the new plan, which the council says reflects public input from Idahoans.
Sponsors are set up to work on the approved priority recommendations. But the council invites anyone interested in helping to contact the Idaho Behavioral Health Council’s project manager.
The 11 recommendations were winnowed down from a list of 30. But the council’s report included the other 19 ideas, hoping that other Idaho groups would work on them.
“Meaningful change for Idahoans does not come overnight. It requires continued work and dedication from all who can influence our system,” said Jared Larsen, council co-chair and legislative and regulatory affairs chief for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. “We invite all professionals and policymakers in our state to contribute however they can.”

Renewable energy development company rPlus Energies has finalised a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with distribution company Idaho Power for its 125MW Pleasant Valley Solar 2 facility located in Ada County of Idaho, US.
This facility is a continuation of the 200MW Pleasant Valley Solar 1 project currently under construction. Idaho Power also holds a PPA for the 200MW Pleasant Valley Solar 1 with rPlus Energies, making Pleasant Valley Solar the largest contracted solar facility within the Idaho Power system.
Both projects will supply renewable energy to Idaho Power’s grid and support Meta, a technology company, to operate its data centre in Kuna, Idaho, using 100% renewable energy.
Meta clean and renewable energy global head Urvi Parekh said: “We’re excited to expand our work with Idaho Power and rPlus Energies to add new renewable energy to the Idaho grid with Pleasant Valley Solar 2. Efforts like these are important as we continue to support our operations with 100% clean and renewable energy.”
The Pleasant Valley Solar project is part of Idaho Power’s Clean Energy Your Way – Construction Program. This initiative offers businesses a pathway to achieve their sustainability and carbon emission reduction targets.
rPlus Energies president and CEO Luigi Resta said: “We’re excited to be partnering again with Idaho Power and Meta on Pleasant Valley Solar 2.

“Strong partnerships make all stages of development and construction smoother, and we certainly have that with these two. We look forward to breaking ground in the coming months and contributing another significant project to Idaho’s renewable energy landscape.”
Pleasant Valley Solar 2 is expected to provide economic benefits to the local community. The project plans to work with numerous local vendors, enhancing revenue in the region, and is anticipated to create approximately 200 construction-related jobs.
Pleasant Valley Solar 1, which is now primarily owned by Matrix Renewables, is expected to commence commercial operations in early 2025.
The key investors and commercial partners of Pleasant Valley Solar 1 have raised $123,000 for the Local First and Energy First scholarships. These funds aid Ada County students attending Boise State University and the College of Western Idaho.
The initiative to support education and workforce development is expected to continue with the development of Pleasant Valley Solar 2.

Official shortage and rule changes for Idaho high school basketball during the 2024-2025 season
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — With the start of the winter sports season beginning, keep note of some important things when attending these sporting events.
One thing to note is an officials’ shortage in Idaho for the 2024-2025 basketball season.
Many referees are new to the sport and getting adjusted to the game and rule book.
The best way to help them ease into the process as fans is simply to not harass them.
If they cannot perform their jobs, no one will be able to officiate the game.
“In every sport; volleyball, soccer, wrestling, baseball, softball, everybody’s short officials,” District IV Basketball Commissioner Randy Winn told KMVT. “Why sit in the stands and run referees off so your kids are not able to play high school sports? ‘This isn’t the NBA or Division I college basketball where people are in line to go officiate these events. We’re begging people to be there so please be good sports.”
Another thing to note is rule changes, two in particular coming to basketball.
“No. 1 if there is a shot clock, there is no five-second closely guarded dribbling violation anymore,” Winn said. “The other one is a flop warning, without contact trying to embellish themselves in creating a foul then that’s a warning.”
Please keep these in mind when attending events this winter.
