At San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services (BHS) we believe that individuals with serious mental illnesses can live meaningful lives within their communities. Since the advent of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) in 2004, BHS has significantly expanded the services and supports that are clinically shown to reduce suffering and help individuals live fuller and more productive lives.
Mental health affects everyone. About half the population will experience a mental health concern during the course of their lifetime. Serious mental illness affects about four percent of adults in the United States — across all income, geographic and ethnic backgrounds. And the tragic consequences of untreated mental illness remain fresh in our minds.
