What the Behavioral Health Services Act Does:
The BHSA addresses a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention, and service needs as well as providing funding for infrastructure, technology, and training for the community mental health system. The BHSA specifies five required components:
- CSS (Community Services and Supports) involves the funding of direct services to individuals with severe mental illness.
- CFTN (Capital Facilities and Technological Needs) makes provision for building projects and improvement of mental health services delivery by increasing technological capacity through funding.
- WET (Workforce, Education, and Training) includes providing funds to improve the capacity of the mental health workforce.
- PEI (Prevention and Early Intervention) serves to allocate an investment of 20% of the BHSA funding of outreach programs for families and providers to recognize early signs of mental illness.
- INN (Innovation) involves the funding and evaluation of new approaches to increase access to underserved communities, promotion of interagency collaboration, and increase the overall quality of mental health services.
