Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) make it possible for people to receive timely and high-quality behavioral health treatment. While they also provide primary care screening and monitoring, they’re able to address mental health, substance use disorder, and other behavioral health issues that might otherwise be missed in acute care settings.
The CCBHC model of delivery is becoming popular as it improves access to care, gives the community access to a greater scope of services, and improves staff satisfaction and retention.
This page is dedicated to helping you learn more about CCBHC training requirements, including resources for certain components of the certification criteria.
The EMHA defines Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics as facilities specifically designed to provide a community with an all-inclusive range of substance use and mental health disorder services, especially for individuals who have the most complex needs. Read more
Becoming and maintaining a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic is not a simple task. It requires full participation from your staff, board members, and collaborating organizations. Leverage these resources to help you learn more about CCBHC required competencies, training, and more.

Discover how Relias can help clinics hire and onboard staff for newly created roles, train board members and staff on CCBHC required competencies, and make collecting and reporting clinical data to SAMHSA easier.
Watch this webinar to learn the key principles behind CCBHCs, grant requirements and objectives for recipients, and ways Relias can assist you with preparation, implementation, and management of the CCBHC model of delivery.
Relias serves over 120 CCBHCs. We’ve helped organizations not only train and develop their staff, but hire and onboard new staff members quickly and effectively.
The Sample CCBHC Training Crosswalk is based on certification criteria developed by SAMHSA found in the Request for Application (RFA) Appendix II-Criteria for the Demonstration Program to Improve Community Mental Health Centers and to Establish Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics. This course list is just a sample of courses available in the Relias libraries.

Relias offers training topics covering the CCBHC “required services.” We also offer staff training topics such as person-centered care, trauma-informed care, substance use treatment and recovery, and culturally and linguistically competent care.
The CCBHC crosswalk provides a guide for provider organizations to identify how Relias training modules might be incorporated into a provider-specific staff training plan that meets CCBHC criteria. The courses listed are a representative sample of courses available in Relias libraries.
It may not be necessary to choose all courses listed for a specific training standard; it is recommended that courses are chosen that closely align with the mission and services offered and the specific needs of the persons served.
Relias does not have a relationship with SAMHSA other than aligning our content with the CCBHC criteria outlined by SAMHSA.
Relias provides online compliance and CE training across the health service continuum of care.
Additionally, Relias offers personnel assessments for job roles within healthcare. These assessments help ensure the person has the technical knowledge to complete required job tasks. We also have assessments that explore critical success factors for one’s job such as empathy, compassion, judgment, and reliability.
Finally, we offer a population health management solution that helps organizations effectively manage defined populations with data insights, risk stratification, and targeted interventions. The solution helps organizations prove clinical outcomes, measure quality and improve care.
Let Relias be your partner in achieving your CCBHC designation. We’ve served over 120 CCBHCs, helping them implement staff training plans that not only align with certification requirements but improve care delivery and financial outcomes.
