Commitment to Accessibility
The North Central Behavioral Health Board (NCBHB) is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We strive to ensure that all visitors, including individuals who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice recognition software, and alternative keyboard input devices, can access the information and services available on this website.
Our Accessibility Standards

Third-Party Content
Some content on this website is provided through third-party services that are outside the direct control of NCBHB.
Embedded YouTube Videos
Some pages include videos hosted by YouTube.
Although we make every effort to provide accessible video content, the embedded YouTube player may generate automated accessibility warnings related to controls within the player (such as certain buttons lacking discernible text). These interface elements are part of YouTube's embedded player and cannot be modified by NCBHB.
The videos remain accessible through keyboard navigation and support closed captions where available.
External Websites
This website contains links to third-party websites. While we strive to link only to reputable resources, NCBHB cannot guarantee the accessibility of external websites that are not under our control.
Compatibility
This website is designed to be compatible with current versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. Accessibility testing has been performed using keyboard-only navigation, Apple's VoiceOver screen reader, responsive layout testing, and mobile devices.
Legacy Documents
Where practical, important information from policies, reports, brochures, forms, and other publications has been provided as accessible HTML web pages in addition to downloadable PDF documents. Some older or third-party PDF documents may not yet fully conform to current accessibility standards. These documents may be retained for legal, historical, or archival purposes. If you experience difficulty accessing information contained in a document, please contact us. We will make every reasonable effort to provide the information in an accessible format.
