| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
CalMHSA is a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) under Government Code Section 6500 et seq. of counties and cities with mental health programs and provides administrative and fiscal services in support of and addresses common interests in the administration of such programs.
CalMHSA was created by the counties in 2010, to administer MHSA PEI projects on a statewide basis. Through the initial implementation and the second phase (Phase I: 2011-2015 and Phase II: 2015-2017) of the CalMHSA Statewide PEI Project, CalMHSA developed and implemented population-based strategies aligned with Welfare and Institutions Code Section 5840: MHSA PEI Programs designed to prevent mental illnesses from becoming severe and disabling through outreach to recognize the early signs of mental illness, reduce stigma associated with mental illness and service seeking, and reduce discrimination against people with mental health challenges. Furthermore, in addition to adhering to this WIC Code, CalMHSA also emphasizes an upstream public health prevention approach, promoting mental wellness as well as preventing the onset of severe and disabling consequences of untreated mental illness.
Approval of this agreement will allow the county to participate in the Phase III Statewide PEI Sustainability Funding Program, to continue the investment in PEI strategies that will result in larger social impact (e.g., changing attitudes, increasing knowledge, and modifying behaviors), implementing programs that can benefit counties regionally and statewide, procuring resources at lower cost (e.g., cost efficiencies), and ultimately making a significant impact on preventing mental illnesses from becoming severe. PEI strategies can accomplish these goals by improving access to necessary treatment services as early in the onset of conditions as practicable, reduce the duration of untreated severe mental illnesses and assist people in quickly regaining productive lives.
