GCBHS Earns Three-Year CARF Accreditation

Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCBHS) has been awarded re-accreditation by *CARF International for its programs in Mental Health, Child & Family Services, Addiction Services, and Employment. This recognition represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization and shows our organization’s substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has gone through a rigorous peer-review process. It has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.

Says GCBHS President & CEO Jeff O’Neil, “We are exceedingly proud of our staff and organization for the high standards that we uphold and have been commended for by the CARF surveyors. GCBHS believes in our mission to treat individuals with dignity and kindness through its programs that support those living with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorder.”
