The MHSA FY 2022-2023 Annual Update can be found by visiting monocounty.ca.gov/mhsa.

Our Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Annual Update is here to provide you, our community members, with information about the incredible programming that Mono County Behavioral Health (MCBH) is able to provide thanks to our MHSA funding.

The MHSA is a one percent tax on millionaires in California and funds programs in five different categories: Community Services and Supports (CSS), Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI), Innovation (INN), Workforce Education and Training (WET), and Capital Facilities and Technological Needs (CF/TN). Through each of these, categories, MCBH is able to meet different community needs that are identified as part of our Community Program Planning Process.

MCBH is pleased to present its 2022-2023 MHSA Annual Update Mid-Year Revision with a new Innovation Plan. This report is substantively the same as the previously approved 2022-2023 MHSA Annual Update, but includes a new Innovation Plan entitled: Semi-Statewide Enterprise Health Record and updated budget sheets. MCBH has been working for several years toward implementing a new Electronic/Enterprise Health Record (EHR), and we believe that joining the Semi-Statewide EHR project will help us meet state requirements, recruit and retain staff, and spend more time serving clients.

Thank you for taking the time to read our plan, and we hope that you provide us with feedback on our work!
