Virginia’s community mental health won’t improve without decisive action from state leaders, MCOs, CSBs, and agency owners. This bold call to action urges clinicians, QMHPs, and agency leaders to raise the bar. No more low-fidelity practice. Our clients deserve the gold standard—together we can deliver it.

High-fidelity training and trauma-informed supervision. Tie reimbursement to outcomes and model adherence.

Raise base pay and retention incentives for QMHPs; stop multi-agency moonlighting. Require real collaboration and data-sharing across providers.

Join DBHDS initiatives and host joint trainings with schools and medical partners. Build a statewide resource exchange—no more gatekeeping.

It all begins with an idea.
