The Yolo County Mental and Behavioral Health Board (MBHB) is an advisory body comprised of County residents who have experience and knowledge of the mental health system, with particular focused membership by consumers, or the family members of consumers, who are receiving or have received mental health services.
The MBHB relies on the following mission to guide their work:
To support the wellness, recovery, and resilience of all Yolo County residents through the identification of local mental health assets and needs, informed advocacy and education, and collaboration with policymakers, service providers, consumers, and family members.
The dedicated members of the MBHB consider all issues brought before them and engage in topics of discussion from public concerns regarding mental health services to making recommendations to the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA). The MBHB is concerned with reaching and addressing the concerns of our diverse county from the rural to the urban centers in Yolo County.
The MBHB exercises its advisory capacity through regular monthly public meetings, ad-hoc committee meetings where they review and evaluate the community's mental health needs, services, and special problems, including but not limited to service contracts, programs, facilities, procedures, and performance outcome data. The MBHB offers recommendations and shares feedback with the Board of Supervisors and the Health and Human Services Mental Health Director.
