Leadership

CMHDA will lead through ongoing policy issue identification, analysis and advocacy, and collaboration with other state and federal associations and agencies, including the state Department of Mental Health. We will support Mental Health Directors in their work on behalf of multiple constituencies: citizens, consumers, families, elected officials, mental health boards and commissions, advocates, payors, the California Mental Health Planning Council, the Mental Health Services Act Oversight and Accountability Commission, other service system partners, and the county staff and/or community-based organizations that provide services.
