CBHA’s Advocacy Makes an Impression: New CBHA Appointment to Aging Workgroup
Greetings Members!
In February, we commemorate African American History Month. The month is an annual observance that celebrates important individuals and events in the history of the African diaspora. African Americans have contributed significantly to building the fabric of our country. African Americans have also played a role in developing psychological theories, designing assessment instruments, and techniques. However, within the African American community at large, there is a misunderstanding about what a mental health condition is, and stigma discourages many from discussing mental illness or seeking treatment. So, this month, we celebrate those African Americans who helped to establish the foundation of psychological science while acknowledging the need to address the health disparities that contribute to African Americans experiencing behavioral health conditions.
Advocacy Day and Sponsored Legislation
Have you heard the news? Advocacy Day was a great success! We kicked off the week with our CBHA Board meeting, followed by an Orientation program for our Advocacy Day soldiers. We then enjoyed a reception where Assemblymember Mike Gipson stopped by to greet our members. We were thrilled to have 20 CBHA representatives join us at the Capitol the next day to meet with legislative offices. We had 31 visits and had the opportunity to interface with ten legislators. The follow-up with the legislative staff has been tremendous, and we currently have several legislators that are interested in supporting our budget proposals.
Speaking of proposals, here are the budget proposals that CBHA plans to move forward with:
- Substance Use Disorder Workforce. This proposal is co-sponsored by CBHA, California Association of Alcohol and Drug Program Executives (CAADPE), and California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP). We are requesting $4.2 million General Fund dollars to support the SUDs workforce.
- Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA). This proposal is co-sponsored by CBHA, County Behavioral Health Directors Association (CBHDA), Children Now, and NextGen. We are requesting $3-4 million General Fund dollars to establish YMHFA training for schools in 3 California counties that have Crisis Intervention Teams.
CBHA is also working with the California Children’s Hospital Association and the California Alliance of Child and Family Services to provide technical assistance in support of AB 763 (Gray)...
