ALL VOICES MATTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

It's our responsibility as a community to support efforts to provide our children with the best start to life. The resources and services available during the critical early years when children's brains are growing the fastest and when they are most vulnerable have a lifelong impact, especially when it comes to mental health. 
 
 
Monterey County Behavioral Health has launched its community engagement process to help ensure ample local voices shape the Mental Health Services Act 3-Year Program and Expenditure Plan for Fiscal Year's 2021-2023.
