The UCLA Division of Population Behavioral Health Celebrates 10 Years 🎉

With the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in 2010, the “Triple Aim” of health care improved health of the US population, increased quality of care and cost containment, has become central to health-system transformation. The shifting of priorities toward population-level and value-based health has created new opportunities for innovation and program creation. In response to these changing health-system priorities, the UCLA Department of Psychiatry created the UCLA Division of Population Behavioral Health in 2016.

The UCLA Division of Population Behavioral Health (DPBH) is committed to enhancing the mental and physical wellbeing of individuals and families through the promotion of a continuum of behavioral health, research and education strategically integrated into healthcare, home, educational and community settings with focus on improving access and equity for marginalized and under-resourced children and families.  UCLA DPBH provides leadership to a range of public partnership and policy initiatives with County and State agencies.
