Board Order

#28-764
The population to be helped under MHSA is defined as adults and older adults who have been
diagnosed with or who may have a serious and persistent mental illness, and children and youth
who have been diagnosed with or who may have serious emotional disorders, and their
families. The guidelines also required counties to use a complex logic model that looks at
community issues resulting from a lack of untreated mental illness and prioritize the most
unserved and underserved consumers and family members.
Approval of Standard Agreement #28-764 will provide funding to increase personnel and other
resources to support county mental health programs and to monitor progress towards statewide
goals for serving children, transition age youth, adults, older adults and families with mental
health needs through June 30, 2008.
Three certified sealed copies of the Board Order should be returned to the Contracts and Grants
Unit.
