Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council Strategic Plan 2027-2031
This strategic plan outlines the direction for the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council from 2027 to 2031. Its primary purpose is to protect and promote the welfare of Texans by ensuring qualified and competent behavioral health and social work practitioners. The plan focuses on four key operational goals: improving licensing standards and application processing efficiency, enhancing compliance enforcement, increasing communication effectiveness with stakeholders and the public, and developing and retaining a strong, effective workforce. These goals collectively aim to address the growing demand for behavioral health services and the professional workforce shortage in Texas, while maintaining accountability, efficiency, and transparency.
