MHSA Funding Series Session 1: About the Mental Health Services Act MHSA held January 26, 2023

This is session one of a fourpart MHSA Funding series

The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) provides funding to counties to expand and develop mental health services for children, transition age youth, adults, and older adults. Also known as “Proposition or Prop 63”, California voters passed the MHSA in 2004 to expand and transform mental health services in California to provide a better coordinated and more comprehensive system of care for those with serious mental illness and their families. The MHSA addresses a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention, and service needs and the necessary infrastructure, technology, and training elements that effectively support the public behavioral health system. This series focused on how counties and communities can effectively use MHSA funds to effectively support a broad array of community services.

This session is funded by the Department of Health Care Services and administered by the Center for Applied Research Solution.
