Behavioral Health Needs Assessment

Published on May 05, 2026

Cover page of the Ulster County Behavioral Health Needs Assessment Human Services Research Institute conducted a comprehensive assessment of Ulster County’s behavioral health system for the Ulster County Department of Mental Health (UCDMH). The goal of the assessment is to inform a 5-year strategic plan to create a more efficient, effective, and equitable behavioral health system in Ulster County.

This assement includes quantitative data from a range of sources and qualitative data gathered from in-depth interviews and a series of community listening sessions to understand community resources and needs, identify gaps, and develop recommendations for UCDMH and its partners. Over 200 community members participated in interviews and listening sessions, including 51 who were engaged in interviews to share their direct lived experience of mental health or substance use services in Ulster County, or that of a family member.

2025-2030 Ulster County Community Health Assessment (CHA)

Published on December 30, 2025

The Community Health Assessment (CHA) is a snapshot in time of the health of a community — in this case, Ulster County, New York, 2024.  These findings help the Ulster County Department of Health set its agenda for the next five years as we work towards improving health and reducing health disparities so that all Ulster County residents can live a healthy, vibrant life.

This year, we are publishing the CHA as an online “story map” for the very first time. Each section of the CHA is rich with data, both in narrative form and in charts, graphs, and maps. We hope presenting the CHA in this format will encourage Ulster County residents to explore this data, as we all have a role to play in public health.

The "Population" section will tell you about who Ulster County is, while the other sections will tell you about the health of our community through the social determinants of health, chronic diseases, communicable diseases, and more.
