SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Board of Supervisors approved the current Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Innovation Component Work Plan for the Round Valley Crisis Response Project on September 19, 2017. The State Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) approved the Project Plan on October 26, 2017. The initial plan was for a three-year project with a start date of January 15, 2018 for Crisis Response Services in Round Valley. Since the start, the project has established a welcoming, homelike environment at the Center of Healing Hearts. The Center's manager and two peer specialists engage with individuals in distress, exploring modalities of responding to needs. The program offers popular traditional Native American healing practices and connection to cultural skills, and has increased community awareness, local elder attendance at group meetings, and coordination with other local agencies for awareness of crisis risk factors.
