California Mental Health Services Act

The California Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) is a law that provides funding to improve mental health care in the state. It aims to expand access to services, focus on early intervention, and support recovery for individuals with mental health conditions. Funded through a tax on income over a certain threshold, MHSA supports community-based programs, housing, workforce development, and prevention efforts. Its goal is to create a comprehensive, effective mental health system that promotes well-being and reduces the stigma associated with mental health issues.
