We bring providers, county officials, and community partners together to build a behavioral health system that is person-centered, family- and community-driven, and culturally responsive.
By strengthening the organizations that deliver care, we protect access to essential services and improve outcomes for Alameda County residents in distress or at risk.
THE STAKES
We represent the infrastructure Alameda County relies on.
Nonprofit providers deliver more than 80% of Alameda County's behavioral health services, and most of those providers are Collaborative members.
When county leaders make decisions about behavioral health funding and policy, they are making decisions about the work our members do every day.
ADVOCACY BUILT TO PRODUCE RESULTS
What We Do
The Collaborative works to secure the funding and policy conditions member agencies need to sustain essential services, especially when policy changes threaten reimbursement, programs, and organizational stability.
Through direct engagement with the Board of Supervisors and county leadership, we turn the collective voice of our members into concrete outcomes.
By acting together, our members can protect vital programs, strengthen the provider network, and achieve results no single organization could secure on its own.
