County crisis call center support
Under current law, DHS awards several grants during each fiscal biennium to certain entities for various programs involving mental health and crisis intervention. This bill directs DHS to annually award grants to support mental health professionals to provide supervision and consultation to individuals who support crisis call center services. The bill specifies that each county or multicounty program that receives supervision and consultation services from a mental health professional awarded a grant under this program shall contribute at least 10 percent of the costs of the services that the mental health professional incurs for the purpose that the grant is received.
