MHSA Stakeholder Leadership Committee
Since 2005, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Stakeholder Leadership Committee (SLC) has been in place to provide input and to advise the County Behavioral Health Services Department (BHSD) in its MHSA planning and implementation activities. The MHSA SLC serves as the BHSD’s primary advisory committee for all MHSA activities. The MHSA SLC consists of representatives of various stakeholder groups, including consumers, family members and underserved communities. The MHSA SLC members review, comment and provide input on MHSA plans and annual updates. MHSA SLC meetings serve as a forum to assure wide-ranging representation in the MHSA community planning process. All MHSA SLC meetings are open to the public and allow for public comment. Throughout the year, the BHSD holds MHSA SLC meetings to discuss MHSA-related programs and services.
If you have any questions about the MHSA SLC or the application process, please email [email protected].
