MHSA Innovation Project
Older Adult Self-Management Team Project
On January 30, 2009, the State Department of Mental Health released the Guidelines for the final MHSA Component - Innovation.

Following an extensive Community Planning Process, Riverside County is submitting a proposal to fund an Older Adult Self Management Team through the Innovation Component.
The Department is requesting a total of $2.5 million over four years for the Older Adult Self-Management Team Project, which includes funding for Project implementation, county administration and operating reserve. Click on the link for the Project Description and Feedback Form.

Riverside Family Room through the Innovation Component
On January 30, 2009, the State Department of Mental Health released the Guidelines for the final MHSA Component - Innovation. The Innovation Component allowed Counties the opportunity to “tryout” new approaches that informed current and future mental health practices/approaches.
The Innovation Guidelines allowed counties to apply for funds on a project-by-project basis without submitting a plan for the entire planning estimate. Throughout all of our current planning processes, consumer and family operated services, peer-to-peer supports, and services being delivered in non-traditional settings surfaced as main themes.
This was the third phase of planning around Innovation, as Riverside County previously submitted for, and was approved, for a Recovery Arts Core Innovation Project in September 2009 and a Recovery Learning Center (RLC) in August 2010 through the Innovation Component. The Riverside Family Room will offer Riverside County consumers a new choice: a mental health services delivery that is family-focused model in addition to emphasizing the recovery goals of the consumer that intends to increase the quality of services and create better overall outcomes.
The Department requested a total of $3.1 million for a period of fourteen months with the flexibility to reapply for funds for up to 5 years for this project. Click on the link for the Riverside Family Room Project Description
