California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) is an independent administrative and fiscal public entity that works in collaboration with California counties to transform mental health services for Californians. They provide support and resources to counties in areas such as health IT, workforce development, advancing care, managed care, and community impact. With a focus on outreach, equity, and research initiatives, CalMHSA aims to strengthen the county behavioral health workforce and improve access to quality mental health services.
CalMHSA's impact is significant, serving over 600,000 individuals through county behavioral health services across California. They are the first to introduce a semi-statewide electronic health record (EHR) designed specifically for behavioral health, and they work closely with counties to implement California Advancing and Improving Medi-Cal (CalAIM) within the behavioral health sector. As an independent entity, CalMHSA does not provide clinical services or referrals, but they play a crucial role in supporting counties and transforming mental health care in the state.
