Summary of Request:
Nuestra Alianza de Willits provides important services for the Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) subsection of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). Through the proposed Agreement, Nuestra Alianza de Willits will provide valuable outreach to underserved populations, specifically the Spanish speaking population in and around Willits, to access mental health care. Nuestra Alianza de Willits helps people navigate the mental illness system of care, helps Spanish speakers access assessments, and refers to other providers when necessary. They offer a range of other wellness activities such as tax preparation and navigation for public benefits programs, while providing important mental health checkups. These services are sometimes the only accessible link to mental health services due to the geographic isolation combined with some of the cultural barriers of the underserved community. Services under the proposed Agreement, are provided through MHSA and are part of the regulatorily required programs that all counties must provide with MHSA funds. Services provided by Nuestra Alianza de Willits, in conjunction with other MHSA providers, creates a network of mental health services throughout Mendocino County.
