MHSA/Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI)

CMHDA?s intent in exploring alternatives to state DMH administering ?statewide? programs is to expedite the implementation of programs that local stakeholders are eagerly anticipating. In addition, implementation strategies should consider how sustainability is supported. If a program is effective and should continue, the choice of an administrative mechanism should be one that best meets the needs of local communities and their stakeholders. Regardless of the mechanism selected, DMH, the OAC, and the CMHPC will retain their roles and responsibilities in guideline development, local plan approval, and implementation oversight and accountability.

In August 2007, the PEI guidelines were released and counties statewide have begun the essential, yet challenging and valuable, process of involving community members to develop their county PEI plan.
