During the planning process last year the Allegheny County Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) with stakeholder input developed a Vision and Mission Statement, reassessed needs identified in the FY 05-06 Plan and developed goals for those identified needs. As results of last year’s planning process OBH partnered with stakeholders in the implementation of a number of projects, many being multi-year ventures. Many if not all projects support one or more state-wide Service Area Plan Goals. This update describes these projects and local efforts to move forward with system transformation.
