Help us lead a team dedicated to mental health wellness and recovery!

The mission of Solano County Behavioral Health is to provide person-centered, safe, effective, efficient, timely and equitable mental health and substance abuse services, that are supported by friends and community, that promote wellness/recovery, and that fully incorporate shared decision making between the people we serve, their family members and our community providers.

Solano County Behavioral Health is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Our services aim to empower all community members throughout their journey towards wellness and recovery. It is also of equal importance for us to improve access to quality care for underserved and under-represented ethnic and minority populations who have been historically marginalized by health care systems. We are seeking qualified staff who possess valuable life experiences and expertise to ensure our workforce is culturally and linguistically responsive and leverages diversity to foster innovation and positive outcomes for the people we serve.
