Dover Behavioral Health Values Knowledge and Training

Public education and professional training are highly valued by Dover Behavioral Health. Our goal is twofold: to help the community understand and keep current with issues and information related to behavioral healthcare, and to enrich and strengthen the professional skills of our staff.

To keep the public apprised of behavioral healthcare information, we participate in health fairs and conferences throughout the year, sharing a wealth of material and answering questions about mental health and substance abuse issues.

Our professional training initiatives are part of Dover Behavioral Health System's “Service Excellence” program. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings among staff, employees, and administration to discuss performance improvements and achievements, we provide a professional lecture series in both the spring and fall, which serves as a continuing education opportunity for our staff and professionals in the community.
