Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past several years, service delivery for mental health in Clark County has changed dramatically. The increase in funding from the federal government in the 1960's, the trend toward de-institutionalization, the emphasis on local control and administration, the proliferation of service agencies and types of programs, and the increase in demand for mental health services, has created the complex, multi-dimensional, multi-funded "system" called the mental health system. This increased complexity in the service delivery system has resulted in confusion among decision makers, consumers, providers of service, and the community at large. This confusion has manifested itself in a call for accountability. For local agencies receiving federal funds, accountability has been primarily an audit function. With respect to private agencies receiving private donations, accountability has been limited to budget presentations and rudimentary data collection, i.e., numbers served, client/staff ratios, program utilization by clients and the like. In general, no systematic, continous effort has been made to develop a full range of program evaluation accessible to decision makers, consumers, providers of service, and the community at large. In addition to the influence on the mental health system due to the increasing demands for accountability, elected officials are often becoming administrators of mental health funds. This increase in the span of control of elected officials has created greater visibility for their positions, thus bringing pressure from consumers as well as the community at large, to the mental health system. Recognizing the above trends in mental health care, the Clark County Commissioners contracted with the Health and Welfare Planning Council (HWPC) to investigate and provide information describing the nature of the mental health service delivery system in Clark County, and to report this information to the Commissioners and the community at large. In addition, the study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of that system in the delivery of service.

Book excerpt: According to these reports, transformation of the mental health care system would require timely incorporation of evidence-based practices in routine practice, resolution of workforce shortage issues, removal of financial barriers, coordination of mental health care with general health and social services, and systematic measurement and improvement of the quality of care delivered. [...] Congress has been increasingly interested in transforming the mental health system in the aftermath of tragedies involving mentally ill individuals-such as the shootings at Columbine and Virginia Tech, which led to heightened public interest in the adequacy of the mental health care system. [...] The first law, the Children's Health Act, reauthorized the SAMHSA in 2000 and called for greater focus on the measurement of mental health care outcomes.4 The second law, the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, expands federal 1 Department of Health and Human Services: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, National Survey on [...] The earliest record of a mental health care system in the United States dates back to the 18th century, when the state of Virginia built the first "asylum"13 and the state of Pennsylvania set aside the basement in Pennsylvania Hospital to house individuals with mental illnesses. [...] In 1977, President Jimmy Carter's Commission on Mental Health was established in order to review the mental health needs of the nation and recommend policies to overcome deficiencies in the mental health system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As mental health services have been deinstitutionalized down to the community level over the past few decades, the affected individuals often have difficulty in accessing community mental health services and may find themselves in the criminal justice system, primarily for minor offenses, where treatment needs are often unrecognized. This report first discusses the delivery of mental health services in an era of deinstitutionalization and reviews service delivery systems and the criminalization of the mentally ill. The report then provides a sampling of innovative community-based services, programs, and policies that seek alternatives to the incarceration of persons with serious mental illnesses who become involved in the criminal justice system for committing minor offenses. For each service or program, the report describes its title, format, application, services provided, and contact names, addresses, and phone/fax numbers.
