The Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health's College Behavioral Health Collaborative works to seamlessly connect the mental health and substance use prevention and treatment resources of Westchester County's colleges and universities with the broader resources available in Westchester, encompassing both for-profit and non-profit providers. The ultimate goal is to enhance the system of care for college and university students, as well as faculty in Westchester County.

This committee focuses on several key areas: optimizing prevention and treatment partnerships, developing a comprehensive overdose prevention plan for colleges and universities, and improving continuity of care between local emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, and educational institutions.
