Summary of Request:
As stated in California Code of Regulations, Title 9, Section 3200.184, an Innovation project is defined as a project that “the County designs and implements for a defined time period and evaluates to develop new best practices in mental health services and supports”.
Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) submitted the Behavioral Health Advisory Board approved project, titled Native Crisis Line- A partnership between Pinoleville Pomo Nation and Mendocino County BHRS to the Mental Health Services Oversight & Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) on March 27, 2024. The Native Warmline Innovation project is a community driven Innovation Project to provide culturally sensitive services to the native community in Mendocino County. This project is striving to provide low barrier services to Natives who have nearly three times the risk for death by suicide than the average Californian. Despite the high risk for substance use and suicide in Mendocino County, Natives from Mendocino County do not seek prevention services. The Native Warmline intends to provide a low barrier line staffed with peers who have lived experience in our Native communities in Mendocino County to offer up to date referral and linkage services, triage, and peer to peer services. Our aim is to learn how to best serve those most at risk in the Native Communities to create a Tip Sheet that the Native Warmline can share with other counties as well as providers of Mental Health Services in Mendocino County to increase cultural sensitivity in service delivery. Additionally, the Native Warmline will offer culturally appropriate services as well as triage for Natives in crisis to help them receive the care they need while seeing to their specific needs as a member of a Native community.
MHSOAC approved use of funds for the Native Crisis Line Innovation Project for Mendocino County on May 23, 2024, up to the amount of One Million One Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Five Dollars ($1,001,395) over five (5) years and requests Mendocino County Board of Supervisors certification.
