Our Goal
The initiative's goal is to provide coordination and facilitation to create and actualize the work plan necessary for the integration of services between managed healthcare, school districts and aligned partners, focused on implementing Cal-AIM requirements of providing mental health services to youth on school campuses. The Mental Health Work Group will develop the outcome recommendations to bring to the Steering Committee with a plan for staff and long term oversight of the work. Plan will then go to the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors for approval. Funding most likely will come from the Board of Supervisors, managed healthcare and SCOE.
