Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Behavioral Health Fund (1170)
DISCUSSION:
This donation comes from the California Association of Mental Health Peer Run Organizations (“CAMHPRO”), a non-profit incorporated consumer-run statewide organization consisting of member entities, which are established, independent and successful consumer-run organizations and individual consumer members. This donation was given in recognition of HOPE Center collaboration with CAMHPRO’s Peer Action League in working to bring the “United We Meet Needs of Diverse Communities Peers Transform the Behavior Health System” to the Superior Region.
This event took place over two days, March 9 and March 10, 2021, and consisted of virtual meetings, trainings, panelists, and facilitated discussion on the innovative and expanding services of Peers in our Behavioral Health system. The HOPE Center facilitated the event and collaborated with CAMHPRO for speakers, topics, and discussion points. Many hours of planning and preparation went into making this event very successful with attendance from ninety percent (90%) of Superior Region Counties as represented by the Peer Programs and individual Peer Support workers for these counties.
CAMHPRO donated this money to supplement HOPE Center activities and supplies. We intend to use this donation on much needed supplies and to support outings such as trips to the Zoo, Museum, and National Parks.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A donation in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) was received from the California Association of Mental Health Peer Run Organizations. With this donation, the current balance of donations in the county trust for the HOPE Center Program is One Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars and Seventy-Two Cents ($1,332.72). These donation revenues and associated expenditures have been included in fiscal year 2020-21 adopted budget for the HOPE Center budget unit 1170-477. There is no impact to the County General Fund.
