There are currently three vacancies on the Mental Health Advisory Board. Two of the vacancies are for the consumer position. One vacancy is for either the consumer or family member position.
A recruitment was conducted and serving as the Board Sub-Committee for this appointment process, we received five applications and conducted one interview. Members of the Mental Health Board joined us for this interview. We believe that Mr. Castro would be a valuable addition to the Mental Health Board.
John Robert Castro is a resident of East Palo Alto who is a consumer of mental health services in San Mateo County. Among his many civic engagements, Mr. Castro has volunteered at the Community Transition Center at the Menlo Park VA and has co-facilitated psycho-educational classes.
