Northern Virginia Regional Strategic Planning Project - About the Project
  The Commissioner of the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Substance Abuse Services, James Reinhard, MD, has announced a process that requires each region of the Commonwealth to explore opportunities with all interested stakeholders to achieve a truly community-based system of care.

The Project is intended to be a strategic and long-term process involving a comprehensive assessment of changes needed and an on-going grass-roots planning and communication process involving key stakeholders to:

  • engage in dialogue about major issues facing the region;
  • consider and propose regional and state-level actions that would improve quality of care and service capacity in the region; and
  • explore potential opportunities to restructure the region's public service delivery system.

A Steering Committee was established to get this project organized. After reviewing the most immediate concerns in the Northern Virginia Region, the Steering Committee concluded that the initial assessment should focus on services to adults in need of mental health services.

To obtain comprehensive stakeholder input, each of the five Northern Virginia Community Services Boards has hosted one or more community forums and consumer focus groups during March and April. Additional opportunities for stakeholder input will be provided prior to releasing the report.

This process is to be completed by August 1, 2004
