Annual PEI Evaluation Report Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services Mental Health Services Act As submitted for MHOAC FY 2018-2019 Table of Contents Executive Summary ...................................................................................... 1 PEI Aggregate Data ...................................................................................... 6 PEI Programs by Component .................................................................... 11 Appendix A – Program Profiles…………………………………………………A-1 Appendix B – Annual Reports…………………………………………………..B-1 Executive Summary Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) is the component of the Three-Year Plan that refers to services designed to prevent mental illnesses from becoming severe and disabling. This means providing outreach and engagement to increase recognition of early signs of mental illness and intervening early in the onset of a mental illness. First approved in 2009, with an initial State appropriation of $5.5 million, Contra Costa’s Prevention and Early Intervention budget has grown incrementally to $8.6 million for FY 2017-18 in commitments to programs and services. The construction and direction of how and where to provide funding for this component began with an extensive and comprehensive community program planning process that was similar to that conducted in 2005-06 for the Community Services and Support component. Underserved and at- risk populations were researched, stakeholders actively participated in identifying and prioritizing mental health needs, and strategies were developed to meet these needs. The programs and services described below are directly derived from this initial planning process, and expanded by subsequent yearly community program planning processes, to include current year. New regulations and demographic reporting requirements for the PEI component went into effect on October 6, 2015. Programs in this component now focus their programming on one of the following seven PEI categories: 1) Outreach for increasing recognition of early signs of mental illness 2) Prevention 3) Early intervention 4) Access and linkage to treatment 5) Improving timely access to mental health services for underserved populations 6) Stigma and discrimination reduction 7) Suicide prevention All programs contained in the PEI component help create access and linkage to mental health treatment, with an emphasis on utilizing non-stigmatizing and non- discriminatory strategies, as well as outreach and engagement to those populations who have been identified as traditionally underserved. 3 Outcome Indicators. PEI regulations (established October 2015) have data reporting requirements that programs started tracking in FY 2016-2017. In FY 18-19, over 32,000 consumers of all ages were served by PEI programs in Contra Costa County. This report includes updates from each program and is organized by PEI program category. The information gathered enables CCBHS to report on the following outcome indicators: • Outreach to Underserved Populations. Demographic data, such as age group, race/ethnicity, primary language and sexual orientation, enable an assessment of the impact of outreach and engagement efforts over time. • Linkage to Mental Health Care. Number of people connected to care, and average duration of reported untreated mental illness enable an assessment over time of impact of programs on connecting people to mental health care. Evaluation Component Contra Costa Behavioral Health Services is committed to evaluating the effective use of funds provided by the Mental Health Services Act. Toward this end, a comprehensive program and fiscal review process has been implemented to: a) improve the services and supports provided; b) more efficiently support the County’s MHSA Three Year Program and Expenditure Plan; c) ensure compliance with stature, regulations and policies. Each of the MHSA funded contract and county operated programs undergoes a triennial program and fiscal review. This entails interviews and surveys of individuals both delivering and receiving the services, review of data, case files, program and financial records, and performance history. Key areas of inquiry include: • Delivering services according to the values of MHSA • Serving those who need the service • Providing services for which funding was allocated • Meeting the needs of the community and/or population • Serving the number of individuals that have been agreed upon • Achieving outcomes that have been agreed upon • Assuring quality of care • Protecting confidential information • Providing sufficient and appropriate staff for the program • Having sufficient resources to deliver the services 4 • Following generally accepted accounting principles • Maintaining documentation that supports agreed upon expenditures • Charging reasonable administrative costs • Maintaining required insurance policies • Communicating effectively with community partners Each program receives a written report that addresses the above areas. Promising practices, opportunities for improvement, and/or areas of concern are noted for sharing or follow-up activity, as appropriate. The emphasis is to establish a culture of continuous improvement of service delivery, and quality feedback for future planning efforts. Completed reports are made available to members of the Consolidated Planning Advisory Workgroup (CPAW) and distributed at the monthly stakeholder meeting, or to the public upon request. Links to PEI program and fiscal reviews can be found here: https://cchealth.org/mentalhealth/mhsa/cpaw/agendas-minutes.php. During FY2018-19, completed PEI Program and Fiscal Review reports were distributed at the following monthly CPAW meetings: September 2018, February 2019, March 2019, April 2019. 5 PEI Aggregate Data FY 18-19 Contra Costa is a geographically and culturally diverse county with approximately 1.1 million residents. One of nine counties in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, we are located in the East Bay region.

Audio share of streaming is 54% in 2016, growing from 44% through the first six months of 2015. • There are 3 albums that have sold over 1 Million units so far this year (Adele/25, Drake/Views and Beyonce/Lemonade), while there was only 1 at this time last year (Taylor Swift/1989). • Creative release strategies, driven mostly by digital formats, continue to be a major story. Drake’s “Views”, Beyonce’s “Lemonade” and Kanye Wests “The Life of Pablo” have all been successful this year and are led by digital formats.

ESTATE IN DAGENHAM - DAY 1 RITA O’GRADY and her husband EDDIE, both late twenties, step onto the balcony of a flat on a massive housing estate in East London. With them are their two children, GRAHAM and SHARON. They kiss the kids goodbye as another man, also in blue overalls, emerges from the flats, clambers onto a bike and sets off down the car-less streets. Rita and Eddie grab their own bikes, and ride off into an ever broadening stream of people. 2 EXT. ESTATE - DAY 2 On another part of the estate, a much younger woman, SANDRA, emerges from a flat, waves to her mum on a balcony above and hops onto her bike. She wobbles off, the white patent leather boots she is wearing make balance something of a challenge. 3 INT.

    ABSTRACT NINE STORIES FROM THE LAND OF FIXED GEARS AND LONELINESS by Catherine Marie Sayre This collection of inverted love stories and wry tales of family and friendship explores the ways the political intersects with the everyday, especially when unexpected. Most of the narratives unfold from the perspectives of young women whose lives refuse to conform to any typical bourgeois standards of adulthood. These voice-driven stories are playful with their tone, language, and subjects, and they use humor and absurdity as a method of exploring serious issues of human connections and misconnections.
