Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To provide quality comprehensive behavioral health services to the residents of our community. To support the development of a healthy, caring, and safe community while responding to its evolving needs.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
At Peninsula Behavioral Health, we recognize the critical importance of aligning our organization's sustainable development goals with the Good Health and Well-Being objectives of the United Nations. To achieve this alignment, we have implemented several organizational strategies that guide our efforts to promote mental health, reduce the stigma associated with behavioral health issues, and improve access to quality healthcare services.
One of our primary strategies is to focus on community outreach and education. By raising awareness about mental health issues and providing information about available resources, we can help individuals better understand and manage their mental health. To support this goal, we collaborate with local schools, community centers, and healthcare providers to deliver evidence-based mental health education programs and resources.
Another key strategy is to prioritize the development of culturally responsive services that are tailored to the unique needs of our diverse communities. This approach ensures that our services are accessible and effective for everyone, regardless of their cultural background or personal circumstances. By providing a safe and welcoming environment for all, we can help reduce the stigma associated with mental health and create a more supportive community.
In addition to community outreach and culturally responsive services, we also prioritize data-driven decision-making. By regularly collecting and analyzing data on our programs and services, we can identify areas where we need to improve and make informed decisions about how to allocate our resources. This helps us ensure that we are making the most significant impact possible with the resources we have available.
Finally, we recognize the importance of building strong partnerships with other organizations and stakeholders in our community. By working together, we can leverage our collective resources and expertise to improve access to quality healthcare services, promote mental health, and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues.
In summary, our organizational strategies for aligning our sustainable development goals with Good Health and Well-Being objectives are focused on community outreach and education, culturally responsive services, data-driven decision-making, and partnership building. We believe that by adopting these strategies, we can make a significant impact in promoting mental health and well-being and reducing the stigma associated with behavioral health issues in our community.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
