Services are offered through a network of provider agencies. They collaborate with the Philadelphia School District, the child welfare and judicial systems, and other stakeholders. It is through our many partnerships that DBHDS is able to serve Philadelphians who need our help and support.
DBHIDS, serves the city’s most vulnerable people as evidenced by our longstanding commitment to recovery, resilience, and self-determination. Traditionally, we have prioritized services to individuals who are experiencing a health-related condition or intellectual disability to improve their outcomes. While that focus remains, we have extended our reach and impact to serve everyone in the community—not just those with a diagnosis. DBHDS takes an active role in promoting the health and wellness of all Philadelphians through our population health approach.
