Mental Health Services Act (MHSA): Home Page
The passage of Proposition 63 (now known as the Mental Health Services Act or MHSA)
in November 2004, provides the first opportunity in many years for the Department
of Mental Health (DMH) to provide increased funding, personnel and other resources
to support county mental health programs and monitor progress toward statewide
goals for children, transition age youth, adults, older adults and families.
The Act addresses a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention and
service needs and the necessary infrastructure, technology and training elements
that will effectively support this system.
