Community Needs Assessment
Beacon Mental Health Community Health Needs Assessment 2024
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) requires all Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) to conduct a Community Needs Assessment every three years to explore and evaluate the behavioral health needs and experiences of individuals (children, youth, adults, and families) in their geographic area. These insights are in turn to be used to inform development and implementation of strategies related to outreach, screening, assessment, treatment, care coordination and recovery supports. The knowledge gained through a Community Needs Assessment also is intended to guide decisions about staffing and to define and guide opportunities for community partnerships/collaborations.
