The project, called “Partners in Wellness,” will provide community-based mental health services to approximately 250 severely mentally ill county residents, with the goal of measurably improving their wellbeing and quality of life while reducing their reliance on less effective and costlier services, including the County’s psychiatric emergency room and other inpatient psychiatric care settings. “The Partners in Wellness project will enable the County to provide improved services to community members suffering from mental illness, and tie payment of taxpayer dollars to the delivery of excellent results,” said President Dave Cortese, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors.
