Mga Serbisyong Pangkalusugan sa Pag-uugali na Lumalawak sa 4,800 Miyembro ng Komunidad Taun-taon​​ 

SACRAMENTO — Sinira ngayon ng Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) at Sierra Vista Child & Family Services ang isang bagong pasilidad sa Modesto upang isara ang mga kritikal na gaps sa paggamot sa mental health at substance use disorder (SUD). Ang Community Wellness and Youth Prevention Center ay magbibigay ng mga kritikal na serbisyo, kabilang ang restorative justice practices para sa kabataan, mental health counseling, buntis at postpartum services, family at parent support services, at iba pang pinagsamang serbisyo.​​ 

DHCS awarded Sierra Vista Child & Family Services more than $4.6 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP), which works to ensure comprehensive behavioral health care for California’s most vulnerable residents. With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built.​​ 

“Early intervention in behavioral health is vital for a lifetime of wellness,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Holistic, family-centered community organizations like Sierra Vista Child & Family Services play a critical role, and we are pleased to support their efforts to serve families in Modesto.”​​ 

“The Community Wellness and Youth Prevention Center marks an exciting new chapter for the community in south Modesto,” said Sierra Vista Child & Family Services CEO Andrew Timbie. “Sierra Vista is dedicated to delivering services and collaborating and innovating with local residents and other entities to bring about lasting change. By increasing information, access, and quality services, this center can be a model of transformation and strength to under-resourced communities.”​​ 

This effort, part of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, is a historic investment that provides grant funding to construct new facilities and expand existing facilities that help children, youth, transition-age youth, and pregnant or postpartum individuals and their families with mental health and/or substance use disorders.​​ 

SIERRA VISTA CHILD & FAMILY SERVICES: Sierra Vista Child & Family Services offers a diverse array of services, including Enhanced Care Management, mentoring, short-term residential therapeutic programs for foster youth, and perinatal substance use disorder treatment programs.​​ 

The new Community Wellness and Youth Prevention Center will be built using BHCIP funds. Sierra Vista Child & Family Services is on a mission to create lasting change in the lives of children, families, and the entire south Modesto community. Their dedication is centered on the places that matter most – neighborhoods, schools, and the communities they proudly call home. At the core of their vision is the commitment to expand their ability to deliver quality resources and services to all who need them.​​ 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: Through BHCIP, DHCS awards eligible entities funding to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in mobile crisis infrastructure to further expand the range of community-based behavioral health treatment options for people with mental health and substance use disorders. BHCIP is addressing historic gaps in the behavioral health care system to meet the growing demand for services and support throughout the lifespan of people in need. Sierra Vista Child & Family Services received BHCIP Round 4: Children and Youth grant funding.​​ 

Mapagkumpitensyang nagkaloob na ang DHCS ng $1.7 bilyon na mga gawad ng BHCIP. Bukod pa rito, mamamahagi ang DHCS ng hanggang $4.4 bilyon sa mga kompetitibong gawad ng BHCIP sa ilalim ng mga pondo ng bono ng Proposition 1. Ngayong buwan lamang, inanunsyo ng DHCS ang pagkakaroon ng hanggang $3.3 bilyon na kompetitibong pondo para sa tulong pinansyal upang bumuo ng malawak na hanay ng mga setting ng paggamot para sa kalusugang pangkaisipan para sa mga taga-California na higit na nangangailangan ng pangangalaga. Ang Behavioral Health Transformation ay gawain ng DHCS upang ipatupad ang Proposisyon 1. Ang DHCS ay nagsasagawa ng mga regular na sesyon ng pampublikong pakikinig. Ang mga update at recording ng mga sesyon ay makukuha sa webpage ng Behavioral Health Transformation.

TUNGKOL SA BHCIP ROUND 4: MGA BATA AT KABATAAN:Ang BHCIP Round 4 ay nakatuon sa mga taga-California na may edad 25 pababa, kabilang ang mga buntis at mga babaeng postpartum at kanilang mga anak at mga kabataang nasa transitional age na may edad 18-25, kasama ang kanilang mga pamilya. Ang 52 gawad na may kabuuang $480.5 milyon ay nagbigay-daan para sa mga bagong konstruksyon at pagpapalawak ng maraming uri ng outpatient at residential facility, kabilang ang mga programang residential para sa krisis ng mga bata, mga perinatal residential substance use disorder facility, mga community wellness/youth prevention center, at outpatient treatment para sa mga substance use disorder.
