The Behavioral Health Developmental Services Division (BHDS) is part of the City of Virginia Beach's Human Services Department which plans, organizes, and provides treatment and services for people in the community who have Behavioral Health and/or Developmental Disabilities. BHDS serves children, adolescents and adults.
Services are provided in various settings through the community including homes, schools, offices, residential settings, day programs and other locations. Staff and contracted service providers include, but are not limited to psychiatrists, nurses and medical staff, counselors, therapists, case managers and support coordinators, peer specialists, and administrators. We partner with community organizations, faith-based communities, businesses, schools and other local government agencies to provide the services people need.
