As noted in the Record of Action of that date, the IOC requested that the Health Services Department report to the Family and Human Services Committee on the work of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Consolidated Planning Advisory Workgroup (CPAW) with a follow-up report on the Board of Supervisors’ calendar. The Record of Action from May 10, 2010, was revised at the Board of Supervisors’ Internal Operations Committee meeting of June 7, 2010, to add that the Mental Health Director report back to the Family and Human Services Committee and to the Board of Supervisors as a whole (the latter via the consent calendar) regarding MHSA services/CPAW successes, i.e., function, what’s being heard, what’s being done. MHSA Background/History: The passage of Proposition 63 in November 2004 by California voters created the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). The MHSA is intended to transform California’s public mental health system to become a more culturally competent, consumer/family driven system with a focus on recovery and choice. The objective of the MHSA is to expand public mental health services to children, adults and older adults with a serious mental illness, with a focus on innovation, prevention and early intervention services. Funding comes from a 1% tax on California residents with incomes of over $1million per year. The MHSA has several central program components that have been sequentially rolled out since 2005: Community Services & Supports, Workforce Education & Training, Prevention & Early Intervention, Capital Facilities and Technological Needs, Housing, and Innovation. Key emphasis is placed on strategies that reduce negative outcomes that may result from untreated mental illness: suicide; stigma; incarcerations; school failure or dropout; unemployment; prolonged suffering; homelessness; and removal of children from their homes. To receive MHSA funding from the State Department of Mental Health, county Mental Health systems must develop plans and conduct broad planning efforts with community stakeholders. MHSA Planning and Stakeholder Involvement in Contra Costa: Contra Costa Mental Health’s (CCMH) initial MHSA planning efforts in 2005 included over 1100 individuals who participated in community forums, focus groups, surveys and stakeholder workgroups. MHSA planning/implementation was carried out by an MHSA Steering Committee, comprised primarily of key county staff. There were Advisory Stakeholder Subcommittees formed, Report to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Family and Human Services Committee by the Health Services Department – Mental Health Division – August 2, 2010 RE: Status of Mental Health Services Act – Consolidated Planning Advisory Committee (CPAW) Successes and Progress 4 | Page some of which were clustered by age (Adult, Older Adult, Transition Age Youth, Children). A Consumer Involvement Steering Committee (comprised of mental health consumers) and a Family Involvement Steering Committee (comprised of family members of adult mental health consumers) were also created as subcommittees of the MHSA Steering Committee. With the input of all of the various stakeholder advisory groups, the Community Services and Supports MHSA component plan was approved by the State Department of Mental Health in November 2005. Upon completion of the initial three-year plan, a new MHSA Stakeholder Advisory Committee was formed, to include representative stakeholders from the Adult, Older Adult, Children, and Transition Age Youth Stakeholder Advisory groups. Beginning in 2008, CCMH began planning for the Prevention and Early Intervention MHSA component, and as such, created two separate PEI Stakeholder Advisory Groups: PEI Stakeholder Group for Age 0-25 and PEI Stakeholder Group for Age 26+. These two advisory committees also provided input to the MHSA Steering Committee. Through this planning process, over 900 individuals participated in PEI planning. In March 2009, the State Department of Mental Health approved CCMH’s Prevention and Early Intervention Plan. During Summer 2007, CCMH initiated it’s planning process for the Workforce Education and Training (WET) MHSA component. CCMH incorporated lessons learned from the 2005 CSS process, in recognizing the specialized needs of workforce development and the need to outreach to new stakeholders in the community. The planning included creating an internal WET Planning Group (primarily key mental health staff, and representatives from the MH Commission, Diablo Valley College, and local school districts). A WET Stakeholder Workgroup was created for public input with various community stakeholders which included county staff, contracted providers, education, consumer and family members. Activities of the WET Planning Group and WET Stakeholder Group were reported to the MHSA Steering Committee. The Workforce Training and Education Plan was approved by the State Department of Mental Health in May 2009. During 2008, planning was initiated for the Capital Facility and Technology Needs MHSA component. Several special stakeholder planning groups were created, including: BHS Team Planning, IT Stakeholder Committee, and Capital Facility Stakeholder Committee. Multiple community meetings, forums, focus groups were conducted. CCMH’s Capital Facility and Technology Need Component Proposal was approved by the State Department of Mental Health in February 2009. During late 2008 and early 2009, there was growing concern that the MHSA Steering Committee wasn’t representative enough of all of the previous special stakeholder committees and workgroups, and consisted primarily of county staff and one representative from the Mental Health Commission. As a result, the Mental Health Director disbanded the MHSA Steering Committee, and it was Report to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Family and Human Services Committee by the Health Services Department – Mental Health Division – August 2, 2010 RE: Status of Mental Health Services Act – Consolidated Planning Advisory Committee (CPAW) Successes and Progress 5 | Page replaced with an integrated MHSA stakeholder planning committee which is called MHSA Consolidated Planning Advisory Workgroup (CPAW). The composition and structure of CPAW was created in a unique way to afford that the ongoing MHSA planning efforts would include representatives from all of the required stakeholder entities under the Welfare and Institutions Code. A charter for CPAW was approved in April 2009. The Consolidated Planning Advisory Workgroup continues to meet monthly to offer input for new and ongoing MHSA strategies and funding. This document is a snapshot of current MHSA-funded services in Contra Costa County. Detailed information on all the county’s MHSA programs can be found at http://www.cchealth.org/services/mental_health/prop63/ MHSA Program Components: There are five MHSA program components, which include: ¾ Community Services and Supports (CSS) ¾ Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) ¾ Workforce Education and Training (WET) ¾ Capital Facilities and Technology Needs (CFTN) ¾ Innovation (INN) Information about planning, programs/services, funding, and successes follows in this report, for each component. Report to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Family and Human Services Committee by the Health Services Department – Mental Health Division – August 2, 2010 RE: Status of Mental Health Services Act – Consolidated Planning Advisory Committee (CPAW) Successes and Progress 6 | Page Community Services and Supports (CSS) Initial Planning: 2005-06 Implementation Began: 2007 CSS programs implemented in Contra Costa serve children, transition age youth, adults and older adults. Full Service Partnership programs (FSPs) combine the notion of fully wrapping services around an individual or family to support them in recovery. System Development Strategies strengthen the overall infrastructure of the county mental health system. The programs are clustered by CSS Work plans, and are structured as follows: ƒ Families Forward in Brentwood: This FSP program serves children in Far East County with severe emotional disturbances (SED) with repeated failure in learning environments, including school, preschool and home. Services are strength-based and based on the wraparound model of community-based services. Families Forward is a collaboration with Famlias Unidas, Community Health for Asian Americans and County Mental Health. ƒ TAY Program in West County: This FSP program serves youth aged 16-25 living in West County with SED or severe mental illness, who are homeless or at imminent risk for homelessness. Housing supports are central to this recovery-based program, which also links consumers to education and vocational supports. The TAY Program is a collaboration with Fred Finch Youth Center, GRIP, the Latina Center and County Mental Health. ƒ Bridges to Home: This FSP program serves West County adults with severe mental illness who are homeless or at serious risk for homelessness. Supportive housing is central to this recovery- based program. Bridges to Home is a collaboration with Rubicon, Familias Unidas, Community Health for Asian Americans, Anka Behavioral Healthcare, Mental Health Consumer Concerns and County Mental Health. The Behavioral Health Court is also a part of the Adult FSP programs. ƒ Older Adult Program: The Older Adult program serves seniors 60 and over throughout the county who are the most imperiled, using teams to provide outreach, engagement and ongoing services. Additionally, CCMH is using the Impact Program model at primacy care clinics. Short-term cognitive therapy is provided on-site to a set of older adults with medical diagnoses of diabetes, cardio-vascular disease and/or chronic pain, who also show signs of depression. The Older Adult Program is a System Development strategy. ƒ Housing Supports: In addition to the housing supports in the FSP programs, CCMH awarded one-time CSS funds for supportive housing projects, in collaboration with the County’s Department of Conservation & Development. Funded projects include: Villa Vasconcellos Senior Housing, Rubicon’s Virginia Street Apartments and the Lillie Mae Jones Plaza.

Report to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Family and Human Services Committee by the Health Services Department – Mental Health Division – August 2, 2010 RE: Status of Mental Health Services Act – Consolidated Planning Advisory Committee (CPAW) Successes and Progress 9 | Page Prevention & Early Intervention (PEI) Initial Planning: 2008 Implementation Begins: 2009 Prevention in a mental health context involves involving reducing risk factors or stressors to prevent the onset of a mental illness, building skills and increasing support. The Prevention & Early Intervention component focuses on interventions and programs across the life span prior to the onset of a serious emotional or behavioral disorder, or mental illness. State-issued guidelines identified key community mental health needs and priority populations to be served using PEI funding. CCMH’s PEI planning process in 2008 resulted in the development of several new projects: ƒ Building Connections in Underserved Cultural Communities ƒ Coping with Trauma Related to Community Violence ƒ Reducing Stigma & Awareness Education ƒ Suicide Prevention ƒ Supporting Older Adults ƒ Parenting Education & Support ƒ Supporting Families Experiencing the Juvenile Justice System ƒ Supporting Families Experiencing Mental Illness ƒ Youth Development Report to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Family and Human Services Committee by the Health Services Department – Mental Health Division – August 2, 2010 RE: Status of Mental Health Services Act – Consolidated Planning Advisory Committee (CPAW) Successes and Progress 10 | Page Following a competitive Request For Proposal process in spring 2009, CCMH awarded contracts to 20 community based programs (for 23 projects) to implement PEI projects.

Essential elements of Innovation include: • Increase access to underserved groups; • Increase the quality of services, including better outcomes; • Promote interagency collaboration; • Increase access to services. Counties can have more than one Innovation Project ongoing at any given time. Contra Costa County submitted a request for approval for its first project, which is called INN01. Subsequent a lengthy planning, and development process, Contra Costa County’s Innovation Plan (INN01), Social Supports for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, 2-Spirit (LBGTQQI2-S) Youth Program, was approved by the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission in April 2010. The program is intended to create a sustainable social-ecological model for prevention and early intervention against feelings of isolation and poor mental health outcomes among LGBTQQI2-S youth. Contra Costa recognized the need to better serve the often invisible population of LGBTQQI2-S youth through various community planning meetings, Innovation idea forums, Innovation Workgroup meetings, and feedback from transition age youth focus groups. The County is seeking to learn if it can improve the quality of services by focusing on issues of sexual orientation and gender while involving the existing family, peer network, and/or community members and organizations (such as religious groups). The Innovation Work Plan will determine if applying the Social Support Model to mental health services will improve the quality of services. It will test various methods of engaging, educating, and counseling LGBTQQI2-S youth as well as families, peers and communities that are interacting with youth. If results of the innovation work plan show that applying a Social Support Model to services targeting the Report to Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, Family and Human Services Committee by the Health Services Department – Mental Health Division – August 2, 2010 RE: Status of Mental Health Services Act – Consolidated Planning Advisory Committee (CPAW) Successes and Progress 27 | Page LGBTQQI2-S community improve the mental health outcomes of LGBTQQI2-S youth, then the county anticipates incorporating outreach programs for social network in its future LGBTQQI2-S mental health programming.
