Mental Health Services Act Workforce Education and Training (WET)

• In 2008, the former Department of Mental Health (DMH) developed and received approval by the California Mental Health Planning Council for the first WET Five-Year Plan that covered the period from April 2008 to April 2013.

• In July 2012, following the elimination of DMH, the MHSA WET programs were transferred to OSHPD. OSHPD is accountable for the development of the next WET Five-Year Plan.

• This allowed the opportunity to provide changes to allocations for the State WET Programs funded through the first Five-Year Plan. Per WIC Section 5820 (e), the Five-Year Plan requires final approval from the California Mental Health Planning Council (CMHPC) by April 2014.

• To develop a comprehensive plan, OSHPD carried out a robust process that included stakeholder engagement and independent research, evaluation, and analysis on public mental health workforce trends and needs.

EvaluationGovernment and non-government stakeholders within California will be investing considerable resources into improving the public mental health system workforce consistent with elements outlined in the WET Five-Year Plan 2014-2019. A means to evaluate the impact of these investments is critical in order to assess the effectiveness of the activities undertaken, determine whether the goals outlined in the WET Five-Year Plans are being met, and re-evaluate future priorities and actions. • Key performance Indicators and key measurements identified for each of the

three goals. 

o Key performance indicators are linked to the objectives under each goal and the actions that are in turn linked to elements included in the MHSA statute.

o Key measurements identify what data elements and mechanisms will be used to evaluate key performance indicators for each goal.
