Historia
The California Behavioral Health Planning Council is mandated by federal and state statute to advocate for children with serious emotional disturbances and adults and older adults with serious mental illness; to review and report on the public behavioral health system; participate in statewide planning, and to advise the Legislature on priority issues.
Since the 1960s California has had a statewide advisory board operating independently from the State Department of Mental Health (now the Department of Health Care Services) to provide public input into mental health policy development and planning. The California Mental Health Planning Council, was established in state statute in 1993 in response to the realignment of mental health program responsibility and funding. In addition to establishing a dedicated funding base for mental health services, realignment provided county governments with greater autonomy and flexibility in managing their local mental health programs. The Planning Council was designed to be an appropriate structure for public input, planning, and evaluation of performance indicators for mental health programs under realignment and tasked with specific duties to meet those responsibilities including the development of the Mental Health Master Plan. In 2018, the California Mental Health Planning Council was renamed the California Behavioral Health Planning Council.
