“Hope is a waking dream.” Aristotle                                           

The passage of Proposition 63, now known as the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) in November 2004, provides the first opportunity in many years for the California Department of Mental Health (DMH) to provide increased funding, personnel and other resources to support county mental health programs and monitor progress toward statewide goals for children, transition age youth, adults, older adults and families.  The Act addresses a broad continuum of prevention, early intervention and service needs and the necessary infrastructure, technology and training elements that will effectively support this system.

We are thrilled to have you as a visitor, and hope you will want to become involved in MHSA planning processes as they occur. For information regarding the contents of the site or to learn more about how to become involved in planning processes, please contact Sandra Santana-Mora, MHSA Coordinator for San Mateo County (see contact information at the bottom of the page).
