Summary
In May 2023, the California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS), in collaboration with the Behavioral Health Task Force (BHTF), released the Behavioral Health Crisis Care Continuum Plan (CCC-P). The CCC-P envisions a future in which person-centered behavioral health crisis services are seamlessly connected to provide an equitable and accessible continuum of care for all Californians.
The CCC-P articulates three broad strategic priorities to meet this vision: 1) build toward consistent access statewide, 2) enhance coordination across and outside the continuum, and 3) design and deliver a high quality and equitable system for all Californians.
The report recommends using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) and other sources in construction of 988 system to support the development of system performance measures and population outcomes.
