項目將擴大容量 40 張床，每年為近 1,000 名兒童和個人提供服務​​ 

SACRAMENTO — On April 4, 2025, the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) and Kedren celebrated the groundbreaking of Kedren South-Psychiatric Acute Care Hospital & Children’s Village to serve the South Los Angeles community. This transformative project will provide a comprehensive system of care and support for children and youth experiencing significant mental health challenges—all in one location. It is funded by DHCS’ Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) Round 4: Children and Youth and will serve as an integrated “Village Care” model designed for children and their families to receive their services.​​ 

DHCS awarded Kedren more than $57 million through BHCIP, which is part of California’s ongoing commitment to expand behavioral health services for all Californians. With the passage of Proposition 1, even more behavioral health treatment facilities will be funded and built in 2025 and 2026.​​ 

「凱德倫兒童村是確保我們州最弱勢兒童的福祉和未來的重要資源。California致力於成為提供高品質、富有同情心的護理的領導者的承諾，這種護理支持有需要的兒童的身心健康，」 DHCS主任 Michelle Baass說。 「Kedren 對心理和身體健康護理的全面方法與我們為California所有兒童創造一個更健康、更有韌性的未來這一願景相一致。 這不僅是對他們生活的投資，也是對我們社區的強大和繁榮

。Kedren South-精神病急性護理醫院和兒童村：該計畫透過 BHCIP 獲得了超過 5700 萬美元的撥款。該機構將為患有精神疾病、創傷和其他行為健康問題的兒童和青少年提供改變生命的照護。由 BHCIP 資助的新校區部分將包括一家擁有 24 張床位的急性精神病院（每年將服務超過 520 人）、一家擁有 8 張床位的兒童危機住宿Program （每年將服務近 300 名兒童）以及一家擁有 8 張床位的精神健康機構（每年將服務近 100 人）。 除了 BHCIP 撥款外，校園的一部分還將有兩棟建築——由《精神健康服務法》的資金資助——用於提供兒童門診服務，並為有精神困難的兒童及其家庭提供長達 18 個月的過渡性住房。​​ 

「近 60 年來，凱德倫一直致力於透過擴大醫療服務範圍來消除南Los Angeles的健康差距，」凱德倫執行長格雷戈里·波爾克說。 「兒童村將是全國首個此類機構，在一個園區內為兒童和青少年提供全方位的心理健康護理。我們期待為我們的社區提供這些必需且寶貴的資源。​​  

Kedren will offer a myriad of evidence-based therapies, including individual, group, family, recreational, occupational, and play. Staff will tailor treatments for each child with a mix of individual psychotherapy, behavioral modification, family counseling, and psychotropic medications. Kedren will also provide specialized assessments, such as psychological testing and occupational therapy assessments.​​ 

「我們在行為健康領域面臨的挑戰是巨大的，但今天，我們展現了我們共同致力於建立一個強大、全面的醫療保健體系的決心，這將改善未來幾年人們的生活，」巴斯說。​​ 

“Thanks to BHCIP, trusted community providers like Kedren will finally have the facilities and resources to provide essential services across the continuum of care, enabling individuals to receive the right care at the right time in the right setting with providers they trust.”​​ 

重要性： BHCIP 是California持續致力於為所有加州居民擴大行為健康服務的一部分。 透過 BHCIP，DHCS 向符合條件的實體提供資金，用於建設、購買和擴建房產，並投資移動危機基礎設施，以進一步擴大社區行為健康治療選擇範圍，為同時患有精神健康治療需求和物質使用障礙的人們提供幫助。BHCIP 正在解決行為健康照護系統的歷史遺留問題，以滿足有需要的人們在其一生中對服務和支援的日益增長的需求。​​ 

DHCS has awarded $1.7 billion in BHCIP competitive grants. In addition, DHCS will distribute up to $4.4 billion in competitive Bond BHCIP funding, including $3.3 billion for Round 1: Launch Ready grants as part of Behavioral Health Transformation, DHCS’ work to implement Proposition 1.
 
ABOUT BHCIP ROUND 4: CHILDREN AND YOUTH:BHCIP Round 4, part of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, focuses on Californians ages 25 and younger, including pregnant and postpartum women and their children and transition-age youth ages 18-25, along with their families. The 52 awards totaling $480.5 million allow 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 disorder.​​
