The Planning Council’s vision is a behavioral health system that makes it possible for individuals to achieve full and purposeful lives.  We are committed to attaining racial and social equity through action and advocacy for an inclusive society in which all community members can realize their full potential regardless of their race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, diagnosis, ability or economic status. The Planning Council employs a number of Guiding Principles that are foundational to its visionary work.​​

The Council believes we can establish public policies that honor and respect differing backgrounds and life experiences by normalizing conversations about racial and other inequities. By building partnerships among Council members, policy makers, and communities served, we can operationalize the true meaning of equity. Through this process, the Council supports California in achieving the goals to reduce disparities, rebuild the trust lost from communities that have been historically under/inappropriately served and eliminate social injustice and racial inequities.​​
