Summary of Request:
In November 2020, California’s Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission returned a fully executed revenue agreement to Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) for $2.5 million of funds through the Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) grant. This funding is to be utilized over four fiscal years, FY 20-21 through FY 23-24. As part of the grant application process, BHRS collaborated with local mental health providers, schools, school districts, and the Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE) to create a plan that outlines utilization of MHSSA funds for the benefit of students in Mendocino County, in particular to address suicide risk, dropout prevention, and connection to needed mental health services. The MHSSA grant proposal, submitted by BHRS in February 2020, outlined the direction and services to be provided through the Mendocino County MHSSA coalition of schools, the Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE), and the County to provide mental health services directly to students in a school setting. The proposal emphasized building supports and structures from existing service agreements in order to be sustainable beyond the four-year grant period.
Pursuant to guidelines outlined in Mendocino County’s MHSSA grant revenue agreement, the proposed four-year agreement with Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE) focuses on addressing mental health concerns in Mendocino County. These concerns include stigma reduction, education for youth and transitional age youth (TAY), peer support for students, mental health services provided in a school campus setting, workforce shortages of mental health professionals, and reducing generational impacts from mental health struggles.

Return to staff for alternative handling.
