Regional Behavioral Health Policy Boards
Mission Statement
The Regional Behavioral Health Policy Boards consist of four behavioral health policy boards representing regions of the State as follows: Northern, Washoe, Rural, and Southern Behavioral Health Regions. The regional behavioral health policy boards were established to:
• Advise the Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH) and the Commission on Behavioral Health of the Department of Health and Human Services regarding certain behavioral health issues;
• Promote improvements in the delivery of behavioral health services in the behavioral health region;
• Coordinate and exchange information with other policy boards to provide unified recommendations to the Department, Division, and Commission regarding behavioral health services in their respective behavioral health region;
• Review data collection and reporting standards relating to behavioral health information, and
• Submit a report to the Commission which includes the priorities and needs of the policy board’s behavioral health region.
