State Senator Mike McGuire announced the funding for nursing education and a mental health crisis center.
Two million dollars of that spending is going into a new crisis residential center in Humboldt County. McGuire says, right now, people suffering from a mental health crisis will either go to a psychiatric hospital, the emergency room or be locked up in jail. He says that’s not acceptable.
“This facility will keep folks out of local emergency rooms and provide patients with the care that they desperately need and deserve,” he explains.
According to Connie Beck, the director of health and human services for Humboldt County, once a property is secured, they hope to get the facility up and running within a year. Eventually, it will be self-sufficient through Mental Health Services Act funding and Medicare billing.
