SACRAMENTO- 7 月2 ，2024 ，衛生保健服務部 (DHCS) 和Mentis慶祝一個新的青少年健康校園破土動工，該校園將為需要心理健康和藥物使用障礙治療的高危兒童和青少年提供服務。DHCS 透過行為健康連續基礎設施計畫(BHCIP) 撥給 Mentis 超過 470 萬美元，以解決行為健康治療的缺口。社區心理健康診所和社區健康/青少年預防中心每年預計將服務 1,950 人。

隨著最近批准的 1 號提案債券，在 2025 年和 2026 年，將有更多行為健康治療設施獲得資金並興建。​​ 

"DHCS 主任 Michelle Baass 表示：「DHCS 致力於支援加州的兒童和青少年。「我們很高興能與 Mentis 這樣的夥伴合作，為有需要的年輕人提供重要的心理健康和藥物使用障礙服務」。​​ 

"Mentis 執行董事 Rob Weiss 表示：「這間診所和青少年健康校園將為持續在生活壓力下掙扎的青少年提供急需的支援。「我們渴望擴大我們的持續照護，為有廣泛需求的兒童和青少年提供服務」。​​ 

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.​​ 

納帕谷青少年健康校園專案：新的青少年健康校園將服務納帕谷更多社區的兒童和青少年及其家庭在行為、心理和情緒方面的需求。該專案涉及修復現有的私立中學校園建築，以整合支援性藝術工作室、支援性社區空間和治療室。服務內容包括針對高風險兒童和青少年的健康預防活動、心理健康治療、小組治療和/或家庭活動，以及個別治療課程。活動將以英語和西班牙語提供，免費且人人皆可參加。校園的持續照護旨在吸引多樣化的青少年族群，包括有色人種青少年、LGBTQIA+ 以及涉及正義的青少年。​​ 

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.
