RCPA Partner Clinically AI announced on Wednesday, March 11, that it was inducting RCPA President and CEO Richard Edley into its Behavioral Health Hall of Fame. Richard has been recognized for his career in advocating for those in health and human services, and during a discussion with Clinically AI on their podcast “The Tea in Behavioral Health,” Richard discussed both his history and how he got started as well as the current major trends in behavioral healthcare.


You can listen to the podcast here as well as read the newsletter detailing Richard’s achievements. As Clinically AI notes:


Richard Edley built RCPA from a quiet association into a 420-organization powerhouse that fights for behavioral health at every level of government. His induction into the Behavioral Health Hall of Fame recognizes decades of advocacy that has shaped policy, protected funding, and made sure behavioral health always has a seat at the table.
