Community Invited to Engage in Behavioral Health Discussion

SAN BERNARDINO>> The Department of Behavioral Health invites community members to engage in an interactive public discussion on how new innovation projects, designed to test new practices and/or approaches in the field of behavioral health, can best meet local behavioral health needs. Discussion topics will include a DBH mobile resource app and expanding behavioral health services through the use of virtual technology, known as tele-health. The meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. 20 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the County of San Bernardino Health Services Auditorium, 850 E. Foothill Blvd in Rialto. Continental breakfast will be served to those in attendance, while supplies last. “I encourage community members to participate in this meeting,” said DBH Assistant Director Veronica Kelley. “The feedback received is valued and assists DBH and our community partners in designing behavioral health services that best meet the needs of San Bernardino County residents.” Innovation projects are time-limited, must contribute to learning, and are developed through an inclusive process that is representative of the community, especially for those populations that are unserved, underserved, and inappropriately served. Innovation projects are funded by the Mental Health Services Act, which is funded by a 1 percent tax surcharge on personal income over $1 million per year, passed by California voters in November 2004. For more information on this public meeting, please call (800) 722-9866 or 7-1-1 for TTY users. For interpretation services or requests for disability-related accommodations, please contact the number above at least seven days prior to the meeting.
