Fresno County Updates Training Requirements for Behavioral Health Providers
Source: fresnocountyca.gov

Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health posted two provider notices on November 13 and November 14, 2025, that local behavioral health agencies and community partners should review. The first item, Compliance Bulletin number 046, was posted on November 13 and covers routine administrative and program compliance matters. The second item, posted on November 14, is a 3 month training calendar covering trainings through January 2026, and includes Mental Health First Aid sessions, cultural attunement sessions, and instructions for the mandatory annual compliance refresher.

Both postings are available on the county provider resources page and include contact points for providers, links to downloadable PDF materials, and deadlines for required trainings. The materials are aimed at agencies and individual contractors who deliver behavioral health services under county agreements, and they outline the timelines and documentation providers must follow to remain in compliance with county program requirements.

For Fresno County residents the updates matter because they help shape the readiness and oversight of organizations that deliver care. Trainings such as Mental Health First Aid and cultural attunement are designed to improve frontline response and the cultural responsiveness of services, while the compliance bulletin clarifies administrative expectations that support consistent program delivery. Timely completion of required trainings helps ensure providers retain contracting privileges and maintain continuity of care for clients.
