Throughout this course, students will be developing a behavioral healthcare business plan. This plan will enable students to consider important elements for developing an effective behavioral healthcare practice. The goal of this plan is to help students create a strategy for the management of a behavioral healthcare organization. The cumulative plan will consist of three separate assignment parts which will be created throughout the course and finally put together as one fluid plan document at the end of the course.

For the Behavioral Healthcare Plan: Part 1 Assignment, which will be due in Module 2: Week 2, students will consider the type of organization for which they will develop the plan. Part One will include the Company Description and the Strategic Plan and Focus.

For the Behavioral Healthcare Plan: Part 2 Assignment, which will be due in Module 4: Week 4, students will consider how the organization will be set up and managed. Part Two will include a Market Analysis, Operating Plan, and Management Plan.

For the Behavioral Healthcare Plan: Part 3 Assignment, which will be due in Module 6: Week 6, students will consider how the organization will be marketed and engage in financial planning. Part Three of the plan will include sections on Sales and Marketing and Financials.

The Behavioral Healthcare Plan: Final Paper Assignment will be due in Module 7: Week 7. The final submission will involve combining all previous parts of the plan together into one fluid document and creating a Table of Contents and Executive Summary.
