DMH/DD/SUS Strategic Plan for 2024-2029

The DMH/DD/SUS Strategic Plan for 2024-2029, available in English and Spanish, describes our mission to build systems, services, and supports that improve the well-being of all North Carolinians affected by Mental Health (MH) and Substance Use (SU) challenges, Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It reflects our vision for communities without stigma where all are supported to live healthier and happier lives. It details what we are doing to make this vision a reality for all North Carolinians. It is the plan for our continued transformation. 

We released a draft of this plan in June and were so appreciative of the community’s engagement – we received over 130 comments, which we have used to refine and prepare the version you see today. Your partnership over the last nine months has been key in the development of a meaningful plan that improves our public MH/IDD/SU/TBI system. We are grateful to each of you who provided your input throughout this process.
