Advancing Primary Care and Behavioral Health Integration through Community Collaboration
California Pan-Ethnic Health Network
The California Pan-Ethnic Health Network (CPEHN) is partnering with 29 organizations to advance local and state policies that will improve access to behavioral health for communities of color and other underserved populations in California. CPEHN brings community voices to ensure accountability in access to behavioral health, support culturally competent and trauma-informed service delivery, and integrate behavioral health with other sectors such as education and justice. It is also facilitating community engagement in the rollout of the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System in Southern California.
CPEHN has produced the following resources on this topic:
