Bridging gaps in Oregon’s behavioral health system
Oregon Behavioral Health Innovation and Training strengthens the behavioral health workforce by uniting partners and providers to deliver care that restores hope, prevents suicide, and sustains healing statewide.
Oregon’s behavioral health systems are critically overburdened. We bring providers and communities together to bridge gaps in care.
The behavioral health system in our state is stretched beyond capacity, with rising numbers of people in acute distress, increasing workforce burnout, and chronic resource scarcity. We deliver evidence-informed training programs and strengthen connections that empower responders, providers, and communities to save lives and improve health outcomes.
