About Us

Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is Oakland County’s public behavioral health safety net, connecting people to mental health, substance use, and intellectual and developmental disability services and supports. OCHN works with community partners to promote access to services that inspire hope, empower people and strengthen communities.

People who receive public behavioral health services through OCHN’s provider network include those who have an intellectual or developmental disability, mental health challenge, or substance use disorder. The majority of these individuals have Medicaid insurance coverage. OCHN’s goal is to ensure these individuals are aware of and have access to services and supports that will improve their health and quality of life, as well as ensure their engagement in full community participation.

Our Mission

Inspire hope, empower people, and strengthen communities.
