Board approves renaming of regional Community Services Board to 'Behavioral Health'
Summary
King and Queen supervisors approved changing the Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Community Services Board’s name to Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Behavioral Health, effective April 1, 2024, aligning the board’s name with its services.
The King and Queen County Board of Supervisors voted March 11 to approve a requested name change for the regional Community Services Board to Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Behavioral Health, effective April 1, 2024.
Board members said the change was requested by the Middle Peninsula Northern Neck Community Services Board as part of a 50th-anniversary rebranding to better reflect the services it provides. The resolution cites state law under Chapter 5 of Title 37.2 of the Code of Virginia as the enabling framework for community services boards.
Nut graf: The change is intended to reduce public confusion and more clearly describe the board’s mission in mental health, developmental and substance-abuse services across multiple counties. The Board approved the resolution unanimously on a motion by Ms. Alsop, seconded by Ms. Norman.
The action is contingent on similar resolutions being adopted by the other counties in the multi-county board’s service area, as stated in the resolution text. The Board’s approval completes King and Queen County’s consent to the name change.
