Mental Health Services Act
The passing of MHSA provides an opportunity to increase funding, personnel and other resources to support county mental health programs.
In its implementation responsibilities under the MHSA, DMH pledges to look beyond business as usual to help build a system where access will be easier, services are more effective, out-of-home and institutional care are reduced and stigma toward those with mental illness or serious emotional disturbance not longer exist.
