Contribute to the development of the first
Behavioral Health Prevention Plan for California!
The Department of Health Care Services is developing the first Behavioral Health Prevention Plan (BHPP) for California and would like your perspective on important behavioral health issues, specifically substance use and mental health challenges, from prevention champions, experts, stakeholders, and community members across the state. Feedback collected during a series of virtual Listening Sessions will provide critically important data to determine substance use and mental health issues to be addressed through the development of a statewide plan. The goals of the sessions are to:

•  Learn more about community perspective on local substance use and mental health challenges, barriers, and gaps
•  Increase understanding of local community consequences of substance use and mental illness
•  Collect feedback on prevention and early intervention approaches that would be beneficial in communities across California

Listening sessions are a great way to hear about local challenges and innovative solutions from the community perspectives. Your feedback as a key stakeholder will help us design a comprehensive, inclusive, and equitable prevention plan for California.
