Please share your thoughts on this innovative workplan to make Psychiatric Advance Directives a reality!

We are pleased to announce the 30-Day Public Review Period for the plan to include the County of Monterey Behavioral Health Bureau in the “Multi-County Collaborative Psychiatric Advance Directives (PADs) - Phase II” MHSA Innovation Plan is now open!

The County of Monterey Behavioral Health Bureau has been a participant in Phase I of this Multi-County Collaborative PADs project, wherein a comprehensive PAD template and platform was created through extensive planning with peers, professionals, caregivers and community members. Further, in Phase I, the PADs platform has been successfully piloted locally with a select group of mental health service consumers. Participation in Phase II of the PADs project now presents the opportunity to expand access and utilization of the PAD platform throughout the entire county.

The “Multi-County Collaborative Psychiatric Advance Directives (PADs) - Phase II” MHSA Innovation Plan has already been approved by the state. English and Spanish translated versions of that approved plan are hosted on the PADs Collaborative website, and are linked here below:

• Approved Multi-County Collaborative PADs Phase II Plan for Fiscal Years 2025-2029 (English / Spanish)

Subject to review during this 30-Day Public Review Period is the completed county participation template to be appended to the approved MHSA Innovation Plan listed above. English and Spanish translated versions of the Appendix document for County of Monterey participation are linked below:
