CalHOPE

CalHOPE Through CalMHSA

 

In partnership with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), CalMHSA has awarded $33 million to 21 community organizations and health providers to implement the CalHOPE Support Program (CHSP), which provides in-person and virtual outreach and non-clinical support services to Californians, with agencies located from Butte County to San Diego.

The CHSP relies on a Peer workforce to reach California’s diverse ethnic, racial, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities — with a focus on individual, family, and group counseling, as well as providing referrals to resources and clinical services.

PFA Mobile App: PFA Mobile was designed to assist responders who provide psychological first aid (PFA) to adults, families, and children as part of an organized response effort. This app provides responders with summaries of PFA fundamentals, PFA interventions matched to specific concerns and needs of survivors, mentor tips for applying PFA in the field, a self-assessment tool for readiness to conduct PFA, and a survivors’ needs form for simplified data collection and easy referral. PFA Mobile was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD in partnership with the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth & Technology.
