  1. County Integration efforts Three current Common types of Integration

  2. Current common Integration efforts • TA activities and input from a coordinator meeting planning group indicate that several counties are currently struggling with three common general types of integration: • Planning for Integration within Mental Health Agencies (or Health Services Agencies) of MHSA Components • Planning for Integration between Mental Health and other Safety Net Agencies: i.e. Alcohol and Drug, Public Health, Social Services and/or Probation • Planning for Integration between Behavioral Health and Primary Care

  3. Integration of MHSA Components • Counties are planning how to make Prevention and Early Intervention more closely connected to their full continuum of care • Early intervention for psychosis link with FSPs (supported housing, supported employment, medication management) • Outreach and Engagement link with universal prevention activities and screening • Links with non-MHSA treatment • Counties are looking at how to do Innovation projects that are connected to their continuum of care • Addressing gaps • Adding to/pushing the envelope on existing priorities/efforts

  4. Integration between Mental Health and other Safety Net Agencies • Counties are increasingly merging Mental Health with other county departments • AOD, Health Services, Public Health, Social Services • Challenge with communicating/maintaining MHSA focus • Does MHSA transform other programs or does MHSA become watered down?

  5. Integration between Behavioral Health and Primary Care • Counties increasingly looking at ways of integrating with primary care • Preparing for Health Care reform
