County of Monterey Supervisors consider more behavior and mental health services through the SHARE Center
MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The County of Monterey listened to the county's Health Department Tuesday in consideration for more services being offered through the SHARE Center.
The county considered a preliminary analysis report in response to establishing on-site mental health services for children and families served at the SHARE Center as well as to modify the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City of Salinas. The memorandum would require advance notice, input and agreement by the Board of Supervisors when there is a proposed change to the operator of the SHARE Center.
The Health Department presented, saying that they believe they can move forward without needing to amend the MOU with the City of Salinas. This would speed up the process of allowing these services in the area, according to the Health Department.
District 1 Supervisor Luis Alejo weighed-in that even if an MOU is not amended, reports and statistics are still necessary for updates and most recent research.
This topic during the meeting concluded with another proposed presentation in March, where the supervisors will be receiving an update from the Health Department.
