Through the Behavioral Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) and related initiatives, the state has committed more than $4.7 billion to build out the missing pieces of California's behavioral health system — crisis stabilization, residential treatment, youth services, and outpatient capacity in underserved regions.
That investment matters only if there is a workforce on the ground to put it to use. DHCS reports have repeatedly identified workforce — bilingual, culturally matched, community-based — as the binding constraint.
Pacific Health Group's behavioral health team is part of that workforce, embedded inside the same care management that addresses members' medical and social needs.
