California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies (CBHA)

The California Council of Community Behavioral Health Agencies (CBHA) is a statewide association of non-profit agencies dedicated to providing mental health and substance use disorder programs and services to those in need across our state. We are dedicated to the proposition that the people of California deserve a rational and comprehensive community-based behavioral health system that is adequately funded to serve those in need. We are the voice of our agencies at the state Capitol, and with state agencies, and the federal government. Our goal is to ensure that federal, state, and county programs can support integrated healthcare services for people of all ages. 

The video below illustrates the work we do to advocate on behalf of our members.
CBHA would like to extend our gratitude to The California Chronic Care Coalition for the collaboration on their recent video production that raises awareness about the needs of our unhoused populations and discusses how those needs are often driven by chronic conditions. We also extend our appreciation to our member, Felton Institute for demonstrating the significance of whole-person care.
