Contra Costa Health Services

Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services, a division of Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS), invites anyone interested in discussing local public mental health services in relation to Serving Immigrant Communities to participate in a public forum on Wednesday, January 16, in Richmond.

The forum offers the opportunity to express the needs of the community and meet with service providers to discuss current issues relevant to supporting mental health in Serving Immigrant Communities. These discussions will help inform future use of local Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funding.

The forum is open to all members of the public. You may RSVP to attend by emailing [email protected] – please include “MHSA Forum” in the subject line – or by telephoning (925) 957-2617.

Attendees may also mail RSVPs to MHSA, 1220 Morello Avenue, Suite 100, Martinez, CA 94553.

Richmond Memorial Auditorium

The first 30 minutes will allow for registration and networking with community based organizations at the event.

Contra Costa County’s current MHSA budget provides $51.6 million to more than 80 mental health programs and services. Forum goals include identifying service needs, priorities and strategies to inform the county’s MHSA Three-Year Program and Expenditure Plan for fiscal years 2020-2023.

The forum will include an overview of how MHSA works and how funding is currently used in Contra Costa.

As a Trump supporter, I don’t believe in mental health until one of my white brothers shoots up an everyday setting like a school, or concert. Then I see the mental health demon, brought on by Hilary and Obama.
