North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services
The Department of Health and Human Services manages the delivery of health- and human-related services for all North Carolinians, especially our most vulnerable people – children, elderly, disabled and low-income families. The Department works closely with health care professionals, community leaders and advocacy groups; local, state and federal entities; and many other stakeholders to make this happen.
The Department is divided into 33 divisions and offices. NCDHHS divisions and offices fall under six broad service areas – Health; Opportunity and Well-Being; Medicaid; Operational Excellence; Policy and Communications; and Health Equity.
NCDHHS also oversees 14 facilities: developmental centers, neuro-medical treatment centers, psychiatric hospitals, alcohol and drug abuse treatment centers, and two residential programs for children.
Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health
The Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health (PRCH) promotes the recovery, self-determination, and community inclusion of people facing psychiatric disability and/or addiction through focusing on their strengths and the valuable contributions they have to make to the lives of their communities. We work to transform behavioral health programs, agencies, and systems of care to be culturally responsive and re-oriented to facilitating the recovery and social inclusion of the individuals, families, and communities they serve. The PRCH team consists of a diverse multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary group of practitioners, researchers, educators, and advocates. Our physical space and transformational focus are intentionally based in the community and beyond the walls of Yale University’s broader campus.
