Mission Statement

The Behavioral Health Division's mission is to promote the prevention of and recovery from mental illness and substance abuse for the individuals, families, and communities served by providing accessible, caring, inclusive, and culturally respectful services.

Core Values

• Promotion of wellness and recovery

• Dignity, worth, and diversity of all people
• The intrinsic worth of our clients as human beings
• Importance of human relationships
• Open and honest communication amongst our members
• Contributions of each employee
• Creation of an environment by which all persons can thrive and grow

The Behavioral Health Division provides a broad range of mental health and substance use disorder services. Specially trained county behavioral health staff members provide services in cooperation with community agencies and private health care providers. Behavioral Health serves seriously mentally ill adults and emotionally disturbed children, people of any age in a major crisis, and those whose lives are impacted by the use of drugs and/or alcohol. Individuals who are eligible for Medi-Cal under a managed care plan called the Mental Health Plan (MHP) are eligible for services at Behavioral Health. Services can assist clients with improving their family and social relationships and life functioning. No one will be denied access to services due to inability to pay. There is a discounted/sliding fee schedule available here, and below in the Supporting Documents section titled UMDAP Fee Schedule.
