BACKGROUND:
|
The State Department of Mental Health has awarded AIDS grant funding to San Mateo County Mental Health Services continuously since FY 1987-88. Under this grant San Mateo County Mental Health Services has received $60,000 annually, in three-year blocks, to provide mental health services to people with HIV/AIDS and others affected by, or at risk of contracting, HIV or AIDS.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
This funding will be used to provide mental health services to clients of the AIDS Program. Mental Health Services released a Request for Proposals in April of this year to select a provider of individual and group counseling services. A contract for those services is expected to be in place by August of this year. A portion of these funds are used to support psychiatric services provided by San Mateo Medical Center psychiatry staff. The breakdown for use of these funds follows:
