加州慶祝沃森維爾新行為健康中心破土動工​​ 

行為健康服務每年擴大至 1,300 名社區成員​​ 

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執行長 Monica Martinez 表示：「50 年來，Encompass 一直為我們的社區提供高品質、以人為中心的行為健康照護服務。"新的 Sí Se Puede 中心讓我們能夠透過擴展青少年和成人的住宿和門診治療服務，繼續實現我們為所有人提供健康公平的使命。在 Encompass，我們相信每個人都應該享有健康長壽的福利"。​​ 

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.​​ 

DHCS 透過 2021 年的立法，獲授 22 億美元的 BHCIP 競爭性補助金。此外，DHCS 將根據提案 1 債券資金分配大約 40 億美元的 BHCIP 補助金。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。

關於 BHCIP 第 4 輪：兒童和青少年：BHCIP 第 4 輪專注於 25 歲及以下的加州人，包括孕婦、產後婦女及其子女和 16-25 歲的青少年及其家人。總計 4 億 8,050 萬美元的 52 筆獎金用於新建和擴建多種門診和住宿設施類型，包括兒童危機住宿方案、圍產期藥物使用障礙住宿設施、社區健康/青少年預防中心，以及藥物使用障礙門診治療。請參閱BHCIP 網站，瞭解更多有關獲資助者的資訊以及所有 BHCIP 資助回合的其他詳細資訊。​​
