The DBHDS Strategic Plan serves as a vital roadmap to strengthen behavioral health and developmental services across Virginia. It outlines clear priorities and goals to improve the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of care. By guiding resource allocation and decision-making, the plan ensures accountability and fosters collaboration among providers, communities, and stakeholders—helping us better support individuals and families in need.
The Strategic Plan Dashboard provides a consistent view on the agency’s progress towards its top goals. Goals focusing on decreasing opioid overdoses, addressing concerns related to the DOJ permanent injunction, building out the crisis system, and launching an enterprise data warehouse have been completed and either retired or refined to focus on next steps.
