About Region 4

The Region 4 Programs Office manages and oversees initiatives that serve individuals of the regional Community Services Boards (CSBs) and affiliated state psychiatric facilities (Central State Hospital, Piedmont Geriatric Hospital). The Richmond Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA) is the fiscal agent for regional funds and Regional Office host, and RBHA also directly operates many of the programs that serve all seven Community Services Boards in the central Virginia region. The other six participating CSBs in Region 4 include Chesterfield, Crossroads (Farmville area), District 19 (Petersburg area), Goochland-Powhatan, Hanover, and Henrico Area.

History

The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) oversees public behavioral health services statewide and endorses a regional management approach for coordinated service delivery among Community Services Boards in Virginia. CSBs are the local behavioral health agencies that serve as the point of entry into publicly-funded services for mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse disorders.
Region 4, as defined by DBHDS, consists of localities served by:

  • Chesterfield Mental Health Services
  • Crossroads Area Community Services Board
  • District 19 Community Services Board
  • Goochland-Powhatan Community Services Board
  • Hanover Area Community Services Board
  • Henrico Area Mental Health and Developmental Services
  • Richmond Behavioral Health Authority

For more than 20 years, the above CSBs, along with Central State and Piedmont Geriatric Hospitals, have partnered as the Region 4 Consortium in the development and implementation of many regional initiatives and programs serving individuals over the lifespan. The consortium meets monthly to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these programs.
