BHG promotes synergy and collective voice on issues impacting the availability,
quality and cost of mental health and substance abuse services locally and across Ohio.

Ohio's publicly funded mental health system has worked to design a more rational use of public resources in an environment of increasing service demand, increasing quality expectations, and increasing accountability procedures. Concurrently, there have been additional and continuous pressures to implement Medicaid management controls mandated by the legislature.

BHG members have taken an active role and will continue to participate in the process of shaping policy around the key factors influencing the quality and value of Ohio's community-based system of behavioral healthcare. Members continue to work with consumer and family groups, providers, and other Boards and Board Associations to reach consensus on primary quality issues such as access and core capacities, consumer and family education and rights, payment methods, procurement and provider selection, utilization management, and others.
