Public Input Sought for Behavioral Health Report

April 14, 2016 at 08:47am. Views: 197

San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) invites members of the public to review and comment on the draft Mental Health Services Act (MHSA, Prop. 63) Annual Update, fiscal year 2016/17. The Update is a comprehensive report that illustrates the recent progress made by DBH and its contracted partners in addressing the behavioral health needs of the community and addresses proposed changes in MHSA components in the upcoming fiscal year. The draft MHSA Annual Update and comment forms will be posted, in English and in Spanish, from April 1 – May 1, 2016 on www.sbcounty.gov/dbh. “I encourage all interested parties to participate in this community planning process by reviewing the draft MHSA Annual Update and submitting comments as preferred,” said DBH Director CaSonya Thomas. “All feedback is reviewed and assists DBH and our community partners in designing behavioral health services that best meet the needs of San Bernardino County residents.” The MHSA was passed by the California voters in November 2004 and is funded by a 1 percent tax surcharge on personal income over $1 million per year. DBH, through the MHSA, is supporting the Countywide Vision by providing behavioral health services and ensuring residents have the resources they need to promote wellness, recovery and resilience in the community.
