加州庆祝纳帕谷青少年健康园区破土动工​​ 

行为健康服务每年扩大到 1,950 多项。​​ 

萨克拉门托--7 月2 日，2024 ，卫生保健服务部（DHCS）和Mentis共同庆祝了一个新的青少年健康校园的破土动工，该校园将为需要心理健康和药物使用障碍治疗的高危儿童和青少年提供服务。DHCS 通过行为健康连续性基础设施计划(BHCIP) 向 Mentis 提供了 470 多万美元，以解决行为健康治疗方面的差距。社区心理健康诊所和社区健康/青少年预防中心每年估计将为 1 950 人提供服务。

最近批准的 1 号提案债券将在 2025 年和 2026 年资助和建设更多的行为健康治疗设施。​​ 

"DHCS 主任米歇尔-巴斯（Michelle Baass）说："DHCS 致力于为加州的儿童和青少年提供支持。"我们很高兴能与 Mentis 这样的合作伙伴合作，为有需要的年轻人提供重要的心理健康和药物使用障碍服务"。​​ 

"Mentis 执行董事罗布-魏斯（Rob Weiss）说："这个诊所和青少年健康校园将为那些继续与生活压力作斗争的青少年提供急需的支持。"我们迫切希望扩大我们的持续护理范围，为有各种需求的儿童和青少年提供服务"。​​ 

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.​​ 

纳帕谷青少年健康校园项目：新的青少年健康校园将满足纳帕谷广大儿童和青少年及其家庭在行为、心理和情感方面的需求。该项目包括修复一所现有的私立中学校园建筑，将辅助性艺术工作室、辅助性社区空间和治疗室整合在一起。服务内容包括针对高危儿童和青少年的健康预防活动、心理健康治疗、小组治疗和/或家庭活动以及个人治疗课程。活动将以英语和西班牙语提供，免费向所有人开放。校园的持续关怀旨在吸引多样化的青少年群体，包括有色人种青少年、男女同性恋、双性恋、变性人和跨性别者以及参与司法活动的青少年。​​ 

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. The Napa Valley youth wellness campus project received BHCIP Round 4 (Children and Youth) grant funding.​​ 

DHCS was authorized through 2021 legislation to award $2.2 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute roughly $4 billion in BHCIP grants under Proposition 1 bond funds. Behavioral Health Transformation is DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1. DHCS holds regular public listening sessions. Updates and recordings of the sessions are available on the Behavioral Health Transformation webpage.
 
ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 4 (CHILDREN AND YOUTH): BHCIP Round 4 focused on Californians ages 25 and younger, including pregnant and postpartum women and their children and youth ages 16-25, along with their families. The 52 awards totaling $480.5 million allowed for new construction and expansion of multiple outpatient and residential facility types, including children’s crisis residential programs, perinatal residential substance use disorder facilities, community wellness/youth prevention centers, and outpatient treatment for substance use disorders.
