The California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) is
currently recruiting members for three time-limited ad hoc
subgroups of the CARE Act Working Group. Findings and
recommendations from each subgroup will be shared with counties,
the Department of Health Care Services, and the Judicial Council,
as well as help shape the implementation of the CARE Act. The
three groups are:
Services & Supports: This workgroup will focus
on discussing “what works” for CARE clients. Discussion will
include relevant guidelines, research and consensus documents
which define the standard of care for individuals with severe
schizophrenia spectrum disorders who are at high risk for
homelessness, incarcera6on, morbidity, and mortality.
Candidates with a clinical background who have had direct
experience working with this population are encouraged to
apply.
Training, Technical Assistance &
Communications: This workgroup will review, assess,
and provide feedback on training and communication material.
Data Collection, Reporting & Evaluation: This
workgroup will review and provide
recommendations for data collection and study methodologies, both
qualitative and quantitative. Candidates with experience in the
areas of program implementation, program evaluation, data and
research of cross-sector, multi-site initiatives are encouraged
to apply.
Each subgroup will be capped at twelve members and include at
least one individual with experience, an equity advisor, and an
experienced clinician. The subgroups will meet in Sacramento no
more than once a month and will offer a hybrid format.
To apply or nominate someone to an ad hoc subgroup, please email
the candidate’s name, contact information, affiliation, relevant
expertise, and a resume or CV to Ruby.Spies@chhs.ca.gov.
