Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the years, policymakers have struggled to offer adequate mental health services and treatment to those who suffer from a mental illness. Those who are diagnosed with a mental illness, tend to be legally involved with the criminal justice system. In order to offer services and treatment to those in need, California voters passed the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) in 2004. The goals of the act were to reduce the legal involvement of individuals using MHSA services and programs. This study is a policy analysis examining whether California's MHSA is decreasing arrest and incarceration rates for individuals utilizing its services. Secondary data were accessed through various government and county websites. Nine California counties were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed to determine whether or not the county decreased the legal involvement for those who were utilizing its programs and services offered by the county. For the purpose of this study, legal involvement is defined as arrests and incarcerations. The data indicate that California's MHSA is decreasing arrest and incarceration rates for individuals who are enrolled in MHSA programs and services. A majority of the counties sampled demonstrated a decrease in legal involvement for its participants. The findings also show which counties succeed and which counties need more assistance in the legal involvement aspect of the MHSA. The data clearly show that each county implements their MHSA programs differently from one another, each having their own strength and weaknesses. Overall, California's MHSA is decreasing the legal involvement for individuals utilizing its services.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This study is a policy analysis of California's Mental Health Services Act of 2005. The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) was designed to implement comprehensive policy initiatives, to address the need for an integrated public mental health service system within the state of California. Community mental health services have been found to be fragmented and under funded, leaving many individuals and families without access to needed care. This thesis includes a detailed historical review of mental health services on a national, and state level. This policy analysis, using Gil's (1992) social policy analysis framework, explores the evolution of the MHSA and its impact on the mental health treatment provided for citizens in the state of California. The prevalence of mental health issues within this society warrants current and comprehensive analysis of the policies that govern provision of services. Findings indicate that the MHSA serves to establish long-term funding, and ultimately transformation of the public mental health system in California. Social work implications will be discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze Proposition 63 which later became the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) of California. This legislation imposes a 1% increase in taxes for California residents with adjusted gross annual incomes over $1 million. The MHSA provides funding to expand mental health programs and services, including prevention, early intervention, and education and training programs. The analysis intended to explore the benefits and consequences of the tax increase, and how mental health services are impacted under the MHSA. This study scrutinized a historical review of mental health services in the United States, information of political trends on national and state level, mental health reform, and enactment of policies related to mental health. The analysis concluded that the MHSA legislation has potentially increased mental health service programs for people with mental illness and their families. However, the study also found that the state has failed to provide proper guidance to counties for effective program evaluation.

Book excerpt: The implementation of the California Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) represents a significant legislative wave of change for mental health services to children, adults, and seniors who are suffering with severe chronic mental health conditions. It aims to expand the state's mental health system by taxing millionaires and providing MHSA funds to create innovative preventative and Full-Service Programs (FSPs). This initiative provides better service delivery options to the underserved and chronically ill population to assist with long-term care. Furthermore, the MHSA expands access to services by designing new behavioral health programs and integrating new approaches for mentally ill individuals to ensure their needs are met. This paper intends to conduct a policy analysis of the Mental Health Service Act, Proposition 63, to analyze how affectively it has addressed the issues of inadequate mental health services. In doing so, the researchers will explore the social problem that led to the policy and contribute to existing knowledge by further examining the context, planning, programming, and evaluation of the policy. In addition, the researchers will analyze the progress of the amended policy in 2018.

Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze Proposition 63, which later became the Mental Health Serviced Act (MHSA) of 2004. This legislation imposed a 1% increase in taxes for California residents with adjusted gross annual income over $1 million. MHSA provided funding to expand the mental health programs and services including prevention, early intervention, education and training programs. The analysis intended to explore the benefits and consequences of the tax increase, and how mental health services were impacted under MHSA. This study scrutinized a historical review of mental health services in the United States, in the first years of the 20th Century, Deinstitutionalization, and enactment of policies related to mental health. Using David Gil's 1992 modified policy analysis framework, the analysis concluded that the MHSA legislation has potentially increased mental health services for individuals with mental illness and their families. However, this study also found that the lawmakers failed to provide proper guidance for effective program evaluation.

Book Synopsis Evaluating the Impact of Prevention and Early Intervention Activities on the Mental Health of California's Population by : Katherine E. Watkins

Watkins and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, California voters passed the Mental Health Services Act, which was intended to transform California's community mental health system from a crisis-driven system to one that included a focus on prevention and wellness. The vision was that prevention and early intervention (PEI) services comprised the first step in a continuum of services designed to identify early symptoms and prevent mental illness from becoming severe and disabling. Twenty percent of the act's funding was dedicated to PEI services. The act identified seven negative outcomes that PEI programs were intended to reduce: suicide, mental health-related incarcerations, school failure, unemployment, prolonged suffering, homelessness, and removal of children from the home. The Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC) coordinated with the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), an independent administrative and fiscal intergovernmental agency, to seek development of a statewide framework for evaluating and monitoring the short- and long-term impact of PEI funding on the population. CalMHSA selected the RAND Corporation to develop a framework for the statewide evaluation. This report describes the approach, the data sources, and the frameworks developed: an overall approach framework and outcome-specific frameworks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study utilized David Gil's framework to analyze the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act. The unfavorable outcomes for individuals with mental illness were evident since the passing of Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in 1968. After 43 years, history continues to reflect the harsh reality, challenges, and poor outcomes in various domains such as education, socio economic status, housing, criminal involvement, and utilization of public aid with those with a mental disorder. The Lanterman-Petris-Short Act revolutionized the mental health system with the goal of enhancing the outcomes of people with a mental illness. This important piece of legislation only exists in California; however other states have used it to develop their own mental health services. This study delved into a relevant legislation that promotes better outcomes for the mentally ill, the problems and challenges they experienced, the significance and the anticipated outcomes, implications on social work practice were discussed and lastly, the importance of future research.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) of 2004 was analysed using David Gil’s (1992) analytic framework. The strengths and weaknesses of the Act were assessed and special attention was placed on transitional age youth (TAY) who are consumers of Full Service Parternship (FSP) services in Los Angeles County. This analysis found that there have been some improvements in the provision of services to TAY as a result of the MHSA (2004). However, TAY continue to be a group that remains underserved despite the availability of MHSA (2004) funds. The lack of infrastructure of Department of Mental Health to oversee MHSA (2004) funded projects is likely one of the main reasons why new programs for TAY have not been developed. This analysis did find that TAY, who have been served under MHSA (2004) funded programs, have lower rates of incarceration and hospitalization. The recommendations for social work practice, policy and research are discussed.
