RCPA’s Behavioral Health Division committees and work groups are the foundation of our legislative and advocacy efforts on behalf of members. Member involvement in these groups provides unique perspectives on operational and service-level experiences that shape our positions and strategies.

There are larger bi-monthly Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Adult and Children’s Mental Health Division meetings that include stakeholder updates and discussions. DDAP, OMHSAS, OCYF, and guest speakers from across the continuum of human services typically participate in these meetings. Additionally, we have several active specific work groups that include:

SUD Committees Adult MH Committee
Opioid Treatment Programs Adult Mental Health Steering Committee
Centers of Excellence 988/Crisis Services
SUD Regulatory Reform ACT Program
SUD Legislative Regulatory Reform
Children’s MH Committees Combined SUD/MH Committees
Children’s Steering Committee Telehealth
IBHS Work Group Criminal Justice
Children’s Residential Services Value-Based Purchasing
School-Based Behavioral Health ICWC/CCBHC
Early Intervention Workforce
Family-Based Services Ad Hoc Group

Several of the groups are open only to provider members, while others include any interested member. Participation in the groups is open to individuals that you feel best fit the needs of your organization. If you would like to participate in any of the committees or work groups, please contact your Behavioral Health Division Directors Jim Sharp or Jason Snyder. We look forward to collaborating with you in the future.
