What is the Mental Health Services Act?
The passage of Prop 63 in Nov. 2004 created the Mental Health Services Act. The purpose of the Mental Health Services Act is to expand and improve mental health services and transform the mental health system. We welcome all residents of Santa Cruz County to participate in the planning process. Planning will involve getting feedback from individuals, consumers of mental health services (and their family members), and those who provide services to them. Our goal is to develop a plan based on the needs of the community and the treatment methods known to be the most effective to achieve the best results. Reports and updates about this process will be posted on this web page.
