The Outpatient budget was 5 million. Dual diagnosis - we did not ask questions around substance abuse. Today it’s 100 million. Today it’s 6.8% Today we are now community based. Today we are now in over 300 schools. Today we have entire pages on the clinical assessments on substance abuse. Today it’s over 38 million. We did not ask questions about domestic violence, and child abuse. Today we do. Wait times for a routine appointment as a system were anywhere between14-28 days. Today it now runs under 3 days. Henry Tarke

County of San Diego Children’s Mental HealthTHEN AND NOW1997 2010 : 

County of San Diego Children’s Mental HealthTHEN AND NOW1997 2010 We blamed families. We did not have family members at the table and we did not listen. Today we actively seek families input and advice. Contracts and polices require family involvement. Today we do a much better job at listening and have a formal process to engage family/youth voice. We had 15- 20 kids in state hospitals on any given day. We had 50 more inpatient beds in this County than we do today. Today we have not had 1 child in a state hospital for 10 years. Today we hospitalize less. We do not hospitalize outside of the County. We have grown in terms of delivery and quality of services. Along the way, we have matured and enhanced our skills as County staff. We are more transparent, inclusionary and work much better with stakeholders. Henry Tarke
