Child Behavioral Health Services Dashboard Act of 2024

This bill requires the District of Columbia Department of Health to create a publicly accessible online directory and dashboard to help families find behavioral health services for children and youth. The directory must list providers offering screening, assessment, prevention, and treatment services, allowing users to filter results by factors such as age groups, languages spoken, insurance accepted, and specialized support for LGBTQIA+ individuals or foster youth. Additionally, the bill mandates that an online dashboard be established by September 2026 to display real-time data on psychiatric bed availability and treatment methods at District hospitals serving minors. These tools aim to improve access to care by centralizing information on both private providers and resources offered by various city agencies.
