The DBHDS Strategic Plan serves as a vital roadmap to strengthen behavioral health and developmental services across Virginia. It outlines clear priorities and goals to improve the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of care. By guiding resource allocation and decision-making, the plan ensures accountability and fosters collaboration among providers, communities, and stakeholders—helping us better support individuals and families in need.
The Strategic Plan Dashboard provides a consistent view of the agency’s progress towards its top goals. Since the plan’s activation, goals focusing on opioid overdoses, the DOJ permanent injunction, crisis system build out, and the launch of an enterprise data warehouse have been completed and either retired or refined to focus on next steps. The Agency’s strategic plan is currently under revision to reflect the agency’s responses to the developing needs of the Commonwealth while maintaining focus on ensuring a life of opportunities for all Virginians.
