DHCS ra mắt Cổng thông tin Quận về Đạo luật Dịch vụ Sức khỏe Hành vi
On August 6, DHCS launched the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) County Portal, a digital platform that enables counties to draft, revise, and submit their Integrated Plan for Behavioral Health Services and Outcomes (Integrated Plan). Counties must submit draft Integrated Plans to DHCS by March 31, 2026, and final Integrated Plans by June 30, 2026. This platform will help streamline county planning efforts under the BHSA and reflects DHCS’ commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and innovation across California’s behavioral health system.
The BHSA County Portal’s launch follows the June 30 update to the digital Behavioral Health Services Act County Policy Manual, which includes guidance for counties to complete their draft Integrated Plans. To support a smooth transition, DHCS will offer training, resources, and technical assistance to support counties as they navigate the portal and draft their first Integrated Plan. Along with the release of the new portal, DHCS will offer a series of user trainings and resources to aid counties in the adoption of the new portal. If you have any questions or require more information, please email BHTinfo@dhcs.ca.gov.
