MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT

The purpose of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) is to expand, improve and develop mental health services in California. Put forth by a ballot initiative in November 2004, this Act is funded by a 1% tax on taxable income for any personal income over 1 million dollars a year.

The MHSA comprises five components:

Community Services and Support (CSS) expands services and improves systems at the local level. CSS supports local community collaboration to ensure that all services are culturally competent, client- and family-driven, and recovery- and wellness-oriented.

Prevention and Early Intervention supports services to help prevent mental illness and treat it in the early stages, before it becomes severe and disabling.

The Innovation component brings cutting-edge innovations in mental health programs to California. It is improving the quality of services and expanding access to programs.

Capital Facilities and Technological Needs develops the modern facilities and technologies needed to deliver high-quality and cost-effective community-based mental health services.

Workforce Education and Training strengthens the mental health workforce. The goal is to better serve California's linguistically and culturally diverse communities and ensure staff includes people with first hand experience with mental illness.
