​The VACBP’s mission is to provide industry leadership to support the success of private-sector behavioral health providers across Virginia. The industry leadership provided by the VACBP, in turn, enables our members to improve the lives of individuals and families by providing efficient and effective community-based behavioral health services. 

Through a strong coalition of community-based, private-sector providers, we are strengthening our voice to advocate for the behavioral health needs of individuals and families in Virginia. We provide VACBP members with the opportunity to unite, advance and protect the interests of the hundreds of small, mid-sized and large providers of behavioral health and substance abuse treatment care throughout the Commonwealth. Our strength is our membership.

We, as behavioral health providers, understand the needs of our communities. Those who provide care, VACBP members, should be involved in the discussions and decisions that impact the Virginians they serve every day. To join today, click here for the membership application.
