California Behavioral Health Planning Council
The California Behavioral Health Planning Council (CBHPC) is a majority Consumer and Family member advisory body to state and local government, the Legislature, and residents of California on mental health services in California. CBHPC consists of thirty-two members appointed by the DHCS including consumers, family members, providers, and eight state department representatives, as outlined in Public Law 103-321.
The
vision and mission of the CBHPC guide its evaluation of California's system of behavioral health care through targeted committee studies, community site visits, and General Session forums and presentations.
The CBHPC informs the Administration and the Legislature on priority issues. We also provide feedback on behavioral health policy and regulations, and on legislative actions based on our
Policy Platform as part of our federal and state mandates.
