MHSA Boot Camp Virtual Convenings

Overview

2020 MHSA Boot Camp Virtual Convenings

The California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions was excited to bring to you the Third Annual MHSA Boot Camp. Attendees of the four virtual MHSA Boot Camp convenings learned from our colleagues and partners in the field. The aim of these convenings was to bring to you the most relevant information related to the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The sessions included legislative information, MHSA program reviews, housing, and much more.

Who Attended?

These series was sponsored by Department of Health Care Services and was tailored for MHSA Coordinators and MHSA-related staff. This event was limited to county staff only.
