PROMOTING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TEAM

About Us

Welcome to the Promoting Behavioral Health Team. We’re a committee of the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax, responsible for the implementation of the behavioral health category of the Partnership’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

​

​

Meetings

We meet the third Friday of each month, from 10 to noon. Most meetings are resource sharing: everyone discussing new programs, services, resources, and opportunities. Occasionally, we have a presenter share a major new program or initiative. Contact us for the meeting link.

​

Committees

We have one current committee, working on preventing behavioral health stigma through institutional (primarily employer) practices. Contact us to get involved.
