加州慶祝莫斯托新門診行為健康中心破土動工

 Stanislaus County Project Received More Than $5 Million to Improve California’s Behavioral Health Infrastructure for Children, Youth, and Their Families

SACRAMENTO — The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) joined Center for Human Services on June 10 to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new outpatient behavioral health center in Modesto to serve children, youth, and their families in the Central Valley. DHCS awarded Center for Human Services more than $5 million to build a safe space to address gaps in mental health and substance use disorder treatment. This will enable Center for Human Services to serve more than 1,425 new community members with critical resources annually.

根據最近批准的提案 1 債券，在 2025 年和 2026 年，更多的處理場地將獲得資助和建造。

“Equity-driven organizations like Center for Human Services are community-based champions in our work to improve the mental health and well-being of Californians,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “This groundbreaking is a game-changer that will enable our community partner to provide vital behavioral health services to children and youth. This marks a new chapter of hope and healing in the Central Valley.”

這項工作是兒童和青少年行為健康倡議的一部分，是一項歷史性投資，該投資提供撥款，以建造新設施和擴展現有設施，幫助兒童，青少年，以及懷孕或產後患有精神健康和/或藥物使用障礙的兒童，以及他們的家庭。

CENTER FOR HUMAN SERVICES: Since 1989, Center for Human Services has provided mental health services in Stanislaus County and is one of the largest behavioral health service providers in the county. It provides both school and community-based services and has Medi-Cal provider agreements with Stanislaus County Behavioral Health and the Medi-Cal managed care plans in the county – Health Net, Health Plan of San Joaquin, and Kaiser Permanente. 

人類服務中心為處於危機中的青少年提供服務，包括無家可歸的青少年。這座新的門診行為健康中心將成為一個一站式服務樞紐，專為正邁向成年的青少年提供心理健康及／或物質使用障礙治療服務。 此外，該中心將作為學齡兒童、青少年及其家庭的評估與服務中心，以擴大評估服務的容量，並加強與校內服務的銜接。 其他服務將包括核心治療團隊服務、行為健康評估、校園服務導航、門診物質使用障礙治療服務的轉介，以及同儕康復與健康團體及活動。

“One of the most important things for young people is to have easy access to services and receive the right level of care. Center for Human Services has extensive experience providing both school- and community-based mental health and substance use services, and is one of the largest children and youth-serving organizations in Stanislaus County,” said Center for Human Services Executive Director Cindy Duenas. “Community engagement is at the core of our work and is aligned with our mission to change lives and build futures through programs that strengthen and support youth and families.”

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT：透過 「 行為健康連續性基礎設施計畫 」 （BHCIP ）， 加州衛生與人類服務部（DHCS）向符合資格的機構提供資金，用於興建、購置及擴建物業，並投資於行動危機應變基礎設施，以進一步擴大社區型行為健康治療選項的範圍，服務對象包括：患有精神健康及物質使用障礙者、曾涉入司法系統者，以及正經歷或面臨無家可歸風險者。人類服務中心是由 BHCIP 第四輪「兒童與青少年」計畫所資助。
