DHCS, 제안 1에서 카운티의 행동 건강 서비스 혁신 시작: 새로운 디지털 정책 매뉴얼에 대한 대중 의견 구하기​​ 

카운티는 2026년 7월까지 주민들을 위한 투명하고 책임감 있는 새로운 정신 건강 및 약물 남용 시스템을 구축해야 합니다.​​ 

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) invites Californians to provide public comment on the first set of directions to counties on their behavioral health transformation. Comments will be accepted on the County Behavioral Health Transformation Policy Manual Module 1 from November 8 through December 2, 2024. The final document will provide guidance to counties in developing their new integrated behavioral plan as required by Proposition 1. To streamline the process of engaging and incorporating public feedback, DHCS developed a digital tool that will allow the public to submit their comments more easily.​​ 

“Through Proposition 1, we are transforming and enhancing the behavioral health landscape in California, making services more accessible and equitable,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We value public input as we work to implement these policies and make improvements that will benefit all Californians.”​​ 

WHAT’S IN THE MANUAL: The County Behavioral Health Transformation Policy Manual guides counties and partner organizations in meeting Proposition 1’s goals, including integrated community planning, expanded funding, and housing support for people in need. The public comment period allows Californians to provide insights on each section, ensuring the transformation aligns with community needs.​​ 

카운티 행동 건강 혁신 정책 매뉴얼이 최종 확정되면 카운티와 파트너 기관이 카운티 통합 계획 개발 및 시행을 포함하여 행동 건강 서비스법에 명시된 행동 건강 혁신 요건을 준수하는 데 도움이 되는 여러 모듈의 종합 지침이 될 것입니다.​​    

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: To support clarity and efficiency, DHCS is releasing the County Behavioral Health Transformation Policy Manual in smaller, more manageable parts called “modules.” Each module focuses on specific areas of policy and procedure, allowing stakeholders to engage with and understand each section in depth. Module 1 includes guidance on County Integrated Plans, community planning, funding, and housing interventions. The module is being released using software that will allow Californians to directly submit feedback that can be analyzed and incorporated into the County Behavioral Health Transformation Policy Manual.​​ 

HOW TO COMMENT: DHCS encourages interested Californians to review and comment on the County Behavioral Health Transformation Policy Manual Module 1 to provide input through the user-friendly, online platform. This innovative platform allows for more interactive engagement, including new search-friendly functions to aid the content development process, allowing input to be easily provided and taken into consideration. An instructional training video provides additional guidance on submitting comments. Comments must be submitted by 5 p.m. PST on December 2, 2024. For any specific public comment-related inquiries, please email BHTPolicyFeedback@dhcs.ca.gov.​​ 

BIGGER PICTURE: Under Governor Gavin Newsom, California is modernizing the behavioral health delivery system to improve accountability, increase transparency, and expand the capacity of behavioral health care facilities for Californians. Proposition 1, which was passed by voters in May 2024, includes two parts: a $6.4 billion Behavioral Health Bond for treatment settings and housing with services, and historic reform of the Behavioral Health Services Act to focus on people with the most serious illnesses, substance use disorders, and housing needs. DHCS is implementing Proposition 1, including the Behavioral Health Services Act, through several initiatives that will transform behavioral health to improve services for Californians. More information about California’s transformation of the state’s entire mental health and substance use disorder system is available at mentalhealth.ca.gov.​​
