Reason for Recommended Action/Background

In an effort to combat the labor workforce shortages and lack of adequate training across California County Behavioral Health Agencies, CalMHSA has created a new Behavioral Health (BH) Workforce Program that will act as the umbrella program for a variety of workforce, staffing, and training programs. Yolo County has elected three specific initiatives within CalMHSA’s BH Workforce Program which best meets our current staffing needs: a) Medi-Cal Certified Peer Support Specialist, b) Remote supervision for unlicensed clinicians seeking state licensure, and c) Training and Certification courses for all BH staff. Alone, without CalMHSA’s support and ability to leverage multiple county investment, Yolo County could not marshall the internal resources necessary to implement these efforts.
