West Virginia Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics Initiative (CCBHC)

 

Join Us in the Journey to Certification


The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS), Bureau for Behavioral Health (BBH) and Bureau for Medical Services (BMS) are leading the way to advance the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) Model in West Virginia. BBH is partnering with Quality Insights to provide technical assistance, guiding West Virginia’s 13 Comprehensive Behavioral Health Centers (CBHCs) and other licensed behavioral health care providers towards CCBHC certification, transforming their practice workflows, and encouraging integrated, coordinated care.

Quality Insights leverages the expertise of Bowling Business Strategies (BBS) to share effective strategies and resources for becoming a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC).
