How Community Health Centers Partnering with Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers Shifts Workforce Composition in Health Centers

Published: 2024-09-01
Updated: 2024-09-24

Project Description

Community health centers (CHCs) are increasingly delivering behavioral health care and employing behavioral health professionals, yet the scope of integration of behavioral health services at CHCs greatly varies and may be associated with collaboration with community-based specialty mental health centers such as Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers (CCBHC). This study will describe the proportion of CHCs that are integrated with a CCBHC and assess if this emerging model is shifting CHC behavioral health workforce staffing and patient composition.
