Reason for Recommended Action/Background
In partnership with local law enforcement agencies, the Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) currently operates 4 co-responder units in Yolo County’s three (3) major cities of Davis, West Sacramento, and Woodland and one unit embedded with the Yolo County Probation Department and the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office. While these teams provide services in the field, Yolo County is lacking a short-term facility to transport individuals in crisis to receive services and stabilization.
These MOUs will establish and ensure the operation of a 24/7 Crisis Receiving Center to act as a “no wrong door” mechanism for those in crisis to receive immediate behavioral health support and offer our de-facto crisis responders (i.e., law enforcement, emergency departments) a more appropriate alternative to address crisis. Crisis stabilization services are designed to prevent or ameliorate a behavioral health crisis and/or reduce acute symptoms of mental illness by providing continuous 24-hour observation and supervision for persons who do not require inpatient services. Short-term crisis residential stabilization services include a range of community-based resources that can meet the needs of an individual with an acute psychiatric crisis and provide a safe environment for care and recovery.
Staff recommends the approval of the MOUs (Att. A. Draft Crisis Now MOU) to reduce the use of jails and emergency departments for behavioral health crises, to establish an alternative destination for crisis transportation by adding short term bed and chair capacity, and to better serve and support the mental health and substance use treatment needs for county residents.
Performance Measures included in this Agreement are as follows:
There are no performance measures in the MOUs.
