Priorities

• Improve behavioral health outcomes for consumers
• Improve equitable access to effective services in every part of

the state

• Improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness in services
• No wrong door approach
• Mental health and substance services are seamlessly tied to

all aspects of care

• Focus on prevention and health promotion
• System-wide accountability for improved outcomes

Going forward: A behavioral health system that works for all Oregonians

Oregon’s Current Behavioral Health System:

• Fragmented financing, delivery systems, and services fail to serve and exacerbate poor health
• utcomes for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults.
• Insufficient access to services at the right and place in a culturally and linguistically appropriate

manner

• Lacking a cohesive plan to integrate all services and treat the whole person
• Poor integration between systems of criminal justice, human services, health and education
• Lack of strategies to promote prevention and early education that supports wellness and

addresses the Social Determinants of Health

Behavioral Health Collaborative:

• In late 2015, Senator Sara Gelser, D-Corvallis, and Oregon Health Authority Director Lynne Saxton

traveled the state to hear from adolescents, adults and families who have had difficulties accessing mental health and substance use disorder treatment in Oregon. They heard from approximately 550 consumers and family members over the course of seven town hall meetings across the state.

• Created a mapping tool to highlight behavioral health services in Oregon and identify gaps.
• OHA Director Saxton then convened the Behavioral Health Collaborative (BHC) in July 2016 with the

goal of charting a course for excellence and sustainability in behavioral health services across systems.

• Membership was determined through an application process. Expertise includes: peers, consumers,

Tribal health care, public health, mental health and addiction providers, prevention, education, corrections, public safety, housing, judicial, disability services, Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs), and Counties.

• Close to 50 participants have been meeting over the past 7-months. Participants continue to be very

invested and focused on making great strides to improving the experience for the individual / family.
