SBC FILE NUMBER: 810
AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
California W&I Code 5604.2 requires that the Local Mental Health Board (MHB) submit annually a report to the governing body on the needs and performance of the County’s mental health system. Because the County Mental Health Department and County Substance Abuse Treatment Services are a consolidated County Behavioral Health Department the local Mental Health and Substance Abuse Boards function as a merged local Behavioral Health Board. The Behavioral Health Board fulfills the responsibilities of a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Board. One of the mandated responsibilities is to produce an annual report on local mental health services for the Board of Supervisors.
The Behavioral Health Board has recently completed their report of the County’s mental health and substance abuse treatment services. Because the Behavioral Health Boards production of the report has involved a lengthy process, they have chosen to combine the report as a two (2) year report which includes the year 2014 and 2015. The Behavioral Health Board has requested that the Behavioral Health Director on their behalf forward this report to the Board of Supervisors.
