DHCS Releases New County Behavioral Health Dashboards 

Last week, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) released their first iteration of the Behavioral Health Public County Profile. This new website is intended to be a public-facing tool showing how counties are planning, funding, and delivering behavioral health services utilizing data that counties are required to report under the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA). 

The first iteration of the County Profile includes county demographics, homelessness and housing-related behavioral health services, and draft BHSA Integrated Plan submissions in a single dashboard. Future iterations will add performance measures and reporting sections.  

For questions related to the Behavioral Health Public County Profile, please email DHCS at BHTinfo@dhcs.ca.gov.
