MENTAL HEALTH BUDGET SUMMARY
Mission Statement
“Partnering with clients, families and communities to create
hope, wellness and recovery” is the vision adopted by the
Department of Mental Health (DMH), its stakeholders, and
community partners in the County’s public mental health
system. Building upon the earlier framework of Comprehensive
Community Care, DMH developed a strategic plan designed to
achieve this vision and guide the system’s mission, “to enrich
lives through partnerships designed to strengthen the
community’s capacity to support recovery and resiliency for all
clients and their families.” More specifically, DMH, through its
directly operated and contracted agencies, aims to provide
clinically competent, culturally sensitive and linguistically
appropriate mental health services to its clients in the least
restrictive manner possible; to ensure services are tailored to
help individuals achieve their personal goals, increase their
ability for independence, and develop skills to support their
leading the most constructive and satisfying life possible; and
to expand the scope of its services to include prevention and
early intervention.

FUND FUNCTION ACTIVITY
GENERAL FUND HEALTH AND SANITATION HEALTH
The 2011-12 Recommended Budget reflects an overall
appropriation increase of $37.8 million due primarily to the
continued implementation of the Mental Health Services Act
(MHSA) programs, Katie A. Settlement Agreement Strategic
Plan (Katie A. Strategic Plan) and the County’s Action Plan
pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement with the
Department of Justice (DOJ) for the juvenile halls and camps.
In addition, the overall appropriation increase reflects the
restoration of outpatient Medi-Cal eligible services delivered
by contract providers, cost increases for State hospital beds,
the restructuring of the General Relief (GR) Program, and
increases for salaries and employee benefits and services
provided by other County departments. There is also a
$454,000 decrease in net County cost for the final year of the
four-year plan to recover a one-time augmentation provided in
fiscal year (FY) 2007-08 for retiree insurance.
