Reason for Recommended Action/Background
During the County’s recent Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Community Program Planning process community stakeholders, including hospital and community-based mental health providers, as well as law enforcement officers, expressed a continuing need for a County-wide mobile mental health crisis response system.  Stakeholders expressed a continuing need for clinical intervention at the point of crisis and follow-up support to engage each individual in regular service. 
 
Senate Bill (SB) 82, known as the Investment in Mental Health Wellness Act of 2013, California created grant opportunities to use Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) dollars to expand crisis services statewide that are expected to lead to improved life outcomes for the persons served and improved system outcomes for mental health and its community partners. The Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) was successful in its response to this grant opportunity with a proposal to fund crisis personnel, including clinicians and peer counselors providing services in the community.
 
Pending release of the next round of SB 82 funds, the State has approved recipients of the funds to roll forward dollars allocated and unspent in the initial years of the program. The proposed extension of Community Based Crisis Response (CBCR) services, allows for the current mobile crisis to continue using these roll-over funds, embedding a mental health clinician in each of the four (4) law enforcement agencies in Woodland, Davis, West Sacramento, and Winters.  Clinical staff would continue to accompany law enforcement responding to mental health crises throughout the County. 

The ongoing goal of the CBCR is to provide trained clinical staff at the critical juncture during which law enforcement responds to a report of a mental health crisis to expand the range of options available beyond placement in hospitals or jails.  These clinical staff may divert individuals from being taken to a hospital emergency room or jail and facilitate access to alternatives to hospitalization, such as a crisis residential treatment program.  Clinical staff would also assist in developing a self-care plan to help the individual in crisis identify steps toward recovery and toward avoiding future crises.  In addition, the program will provide after-hours/24-hour response to Emergency Departments to assist with psychiatric hold evaluations.

On April 10, 2014 HHSA, formerly known as Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health Department (ADMH), issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) requesting proposals from qualified providers interested in providing CBCR services to Yolo County residents who come into contact with law enforcement during a psychiatric crisis to reduce the cost of residential placement and psychiatric hospitalization, reduce emergency room visits and incarceration for residents experiencing a psychiatric crisis, facilitate recovery, and avoid future crises.
 
HHSA did not receive any proposals from this solicitation.  HHSA subsequently did a survey of qualified vendors and Turning Point Community Programs agreed to provide these services.  HHSA is recommending the Board of Supervisors approve this amendment with Turning Point Community Programs to continue to provide these services through June 30, 2018.
