The Role of CCBHCs
in Crisis Services and Systems

Anyone facing a mental health or substance use crisis should have access to help when and where they need it. To achieve this vision, we need to continue building and strengthening a universal crisis system.
That work includes taking advantage of a powerful resource for both crisis and ongoing care — the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model.
To help communities effectively use CCBHCs to build a robust crisis system, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing’s Medical Director Institute published The Role of CCBHCs in Crisis Services and Systems, a new white paper outlining a best practice framework for CCBHCs and other crisis providers, local systems, state authorities and funders.
|
- How CCBHCs can best meet or exceed the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s certification requirements for crisis services.
- How CCBHCs can be best positioned — and funded over time — to provide maximum value to their communities.
- The unique impact the CCBHC model can have in transforming crisis care — particularly with sustainable funding through a prospective payment system (PPS).
- Considerations on ways to leverage the CCBHC model to enhance states’ overall crisis system planning and implementation.
