Accept the Annual Behavioral Health Board’s Report and Information Presentation.
SBC FILE NUMBER: 810
AGENDA SECTION:
REGULAR AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The W&I Code 5604.2 require that the local mental health board submit a report to the local governing body on the needs and performance of the County mental health system.
San Benito County Behavioral Health has a combined mental health board and substance abuse board. The W&I Code does not require such a report for the County substance treatment system.
This year’s Behavioral Health Board (BHB) report includes references from the BHB’s Data Notebook, which was a required project that the BHB completed earlier this year for the State Behavioral Health Planning Council. As such there are references from the Data Notebook in the BHB report that identify some of the recommendations that the local County mental health system could focus on in the future to address identified client needs for additional services.
There are also references in the BHB Report that summarize various projects/initiatives that the Behavioral Health Department has recently implemented.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
Other County Departments and community based organizations serve the same client population as the Behavioral Health Dept.
BUDGETED:
Yes
