加州庆祝沃森维尔新行为健康中心破土动工​​ 

行为健康服务每年扩大至 1,300 名社区成员​​ 

SACRAMENTO — On June 21, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Encompass Community Services celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Sí Se Puede Behavioral Health Center. This innovative center will expand mental health and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment for youth and young adults in the Santa Cruz area. DHCS awarded Encompass more than $9.3 million through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) to build this center that will address gaps in behavioral health care.​​

With the recently approved Proposition 1 bonds, in 2025 and 2026, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built.​​ 

“Addressing behavioral health issues early is crucial for ensuring a long, healthy life,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “Holistic, youth-centered community organizations like Encompass play a critical role in this effort. We are pleased to support Encompass and their new state-of-the-art treatment facility.”​​ 

"Encompass首席执行官莫妮卡-马丁内斯（Monica Martinez）说："50 年来，Encompass 一直为我们的社区提供高质量、以人为本的行为健康护理服务。新的 "Sí Se Puede 中心 "使我们能够通过扩大对青少年和成年人的住院和门诊治疗服务，继续履行我们为所有人实现健康公平的使命。在安康帕斯，我们相信每个人都应享有健康长寿的好处"。​​ 

This construction effort, an element of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, is a historic investment by the Newsom Administration that provides grant funding to local governments, businesses, nonprofits, and tribal organizations to construct new facilities and expand existing facilities that help children, youth, young adults, and pregnant or postpartum individuals and their families with mental health and/or substance use disorders. The building of new behavioral health centers is a key component of California’s Mental Health for All Initiative.​​ 

ENCOMPASS TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH CAPACITY EXPANSION PROJECT: Encompass’ Sí Se Puede Center will provide multiple treatment services, including American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level 1 Outpatient Treatment and Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) services for opioid use disorder, Driving Under the Influence/Drinking Driver treatment programs ranging from six weeks to 18 months, and family-based treatment. The center’s community classroom offers prevention, education, wellness, and recovery support programming for youth and families.​​ 

The center will include two facilities: an adult residential treatment facility for SUD treatment and recovery with 30 beds, including seven reserved for transition-age youth, and an outpatient SUD treatment facility that will offer a medical clinic and full spectrum of therapy and treatment spaces. Both facilities are projected to serve an additional 1,300 community members each year.​​ 

Encompass’ Sí Se Puede residential program has a rich history in the Santa Cruz community. The program, led by Latinx staff with lived experience, has served thousands of community members on their healing journey since the early 1990s. The Spanish term, “Sí Se Puede” translates to “Yes, you can,” which will continue to serve as the program’s mantra for client recovery and the journey to better health.​​ 

Other services offered at the new behavioral health center will include one-on-one sessions, group and family-based treatment options that integrate motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention services. Encompass’ Sí Se Puede Center received funding through BHCIP Round 4: Children and Youth.​​ 

WHY BHCIP IS IMPORTANT: Through BHCIP, DHCS competitively 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 aims to address historic gaps in the behavioral health care system and meet the growing demand for services and support throughout the lifespan of people in need.​​ 

2021 年立法授权 DHCS 发放 22 亿美元的 BHCIP 竞争性补助金。此外，DHCS 还将根据 1 号提案债券资金分配大约 40 亿美元的 BHCIP 拨款。行为健康转型是 DHCS 实施第 1 号提案的工作。DHCS 定期举行公众听证会。会议的最新情况和录音可在行为健康转型网页上查阅。
