加州慶祝新行為健康設施的突破

6 月 10 日，DHCS 和人類服務中心慶祝了莫德斯託一家新的門診行為健康中心的破土動工，該中心將為兒童、青少年及其家庭提供服務。DHCS 向人類服務中心撥款 500 多萬美元，用於建造一個安全場所，以解決心理健康和藥物濫用障礙治療方面的不足。這將使人類服務中心每年能夠為超過 1425 名新的社區成員提供關鍵資源。

Also, on June 12, DHCS and Riverside University Health System celebrated the groundbreaking of a new behavioral health and physical health care campus called the Wellness Village that will serve individuals who need mental health and substance use disorder treatment. DHCS awarded Riverside University Health System more than $80 million to build a safe space to address gaps in behavioral health treatment. The portions of the campus funded through this effort will enable Riverside University Health System to provide critical resources to more than 20,900 community members annually.

DHCS 將根據 1 號提案債券資金，撥出約 40 億美元的行為健康連續體基礎設施計劃 (BHCIP ) 撥款，以解決行為健康保健系統的歷史性缺口，並滿足有需要的人們在其一生中對服務和支持日益增長的需求。有關第 1 號提案的更多信息，請訪問mentalhealth.ca.gov 。DHCS每月舉行一次公眾聽證會。會議的最新進展和錄影可在行為健康轉型網頁上查看。請在我們的網站上註冊，以接收每月更新資訊。
