行為健康服務每年擴大至 4,800 名社區成員​​ 

薩克拉門托— Department of Health Care Services (DHCS)和Sierra Vista 兒童與家庭服務部今天在莫德斯託的一處新設施破土動工，以縮小心理健康和藥物濫用障礙 (SUD) 治療方面的關鍵差距。 社區健康和青少年預防中心將提供重要服務，包括為青少年的恢復正義實踐，心理健康諮詢，懷孕和產後服務，家庭和家長支持服務以及其他綜合服務。​​ 

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.​​ 

DHCS 已透過競爭方式批出 17 億美元的 BHCIP 補助金。 此外，DHCS 將根據提案 1 債券資金分配高達 44 億美元的 BHCIP 競爭性補助金。就在本月，DHCS 宣佈提供高達 33 億美元的競爭性補助金，為最需要照護的加州人發展廣泛的行為健康治療環境。行為健康轉型是 DHCS 實施提案 1 的工作。DHCS 定期舉行公眾聽證會。會議的更新和錄音可在行為健康轉型網頁上取得。
