Equity & Behavioral Health
Our Guest: Percy Howard, LCSW, President and CEO of California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions
California Proposition 1, passed in 2024, authorized $6.4 billion in bonds to finance behavioral health needs, making it the largest behavioral health legislation in the country. In this episode of Healing Healthcare, we dive into why marrying policy with practice improvement is essential for this equity-involved behavioral health program.
Topics Include:
- Importance of integrating, rather than carving out, equity into clinical, operations, and systems work to achieve lasting results
- Why evidence-based and community-defined practices (EBP/CDEP) are critical for meeting the needs and desires of the community being served
- Emphasizing equity for all as a means for continuing and expanding health equity in a meaningful way given the current political environment
- Why helping people help themselves is more important than ever
- What’s different and meaningful about Prop 1 compared to past efforts
