STATE‟S VISION FOR THE FUTURE
LOUISIANA FY 2011 - ADULT & CHILD/ YOUTH PLAN
The Office of Behavioral Health Implementation Plan Recommendations were presented in January
of 2010 by the OBH Implementation Advisory Committee, pursuant to ACT 384 of the 2009
Legislature.
The committee used two key concepts to frame their work:
1) People can recover from both mental illness and addictive disorders when given the proper
care and a supportive environment
2) The consequences of mental illness and addictive disorders affect all citizens of Louisiana
While not officially adopted by the administration of OBH, the OBH Implementation Advisory
Committee recommended the following Mission, Vision, and Guiding Principles after review and
consideration of the core mission and vision of each of the two previously separate offices. It is
anticipated that the new administration will work with these statements to develop the core identity
of the organization.
MISSION
The mission of the Office of Behavioral Health is to promote recovery and
resiliency through services and supports in the community that are
preventive, accessible, comprehensive and dynamic.
VISION
The Office of Behavioral Health ensures care and support that improves
quality of life for those who are impacted by behavioral health challenges.
