from the 2024-2025 Butte County MHSA Annual Update you provided. This data helps bridge the gap between your personal experience and the county's reported performance metrics. 1. Evidence of Performance Failure (The Recidivism Gap) The MHSA report contains specific metrics that validate your claim regarding the "system in collapse." Under the Full Service Partnership (FSP) performance outcomes: * Target Goal: The county set a target of reducing psychiatric hospital recidivism to 17.7%. * Actual Performance: The report admits an actual recidivism rate of 39.3%. * Significance: This nearly 40% failure rate occurs while the county is actively drawing down millions in MHSA, SAMHSA, and Medi-Cal funds designated for stabilization. 2. Fiscal Data: Federal and State Fund Allocation Your files highlight the specific buckets of money currently being utilized by Butte County Behavioral Health. According to the FY 2024/25 Funding Worksheets in your file: * Community Services and Supports (CSS): Estimated expenditures of $29,067,511. This includes funds for "Crisis Services" and "Outreach and Engagement"—the very services you allege were denied. * Workforce Education and Training (WET): Estimated at $361,465. You have noted a 20% vacancy rate in your narrative; this indicates that while funds are allocated for staffing support, they are not translating into a stable workforce. * Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI): Estimated at $6,801,311. This includes "Stigma and Discrimination Reduction," which contrasts with your documented "medical gaslighting" and ADA violations. 3. Documented Regulatory Non-Compliance The documents provide a trail for the "Safe Discharge" and "Labor Exploitation" claims: * Safe Discharge (SB 1152): While the county receives millions for "Crisis Services," your file contains evidence (Case #24-007133) of patients being discharged to the street while physically compromised.

Amber Balcaen’s Daytona Grit: Backup Car, Top 10!

Wow, what a wild ARCA test for Canada’s own Amber Balcaen! After a tire blowout wrecked her main ride, she jumped into the backup #24 and still clocked P9 out of 50+ drivers. That’s serious resilience. But the real drama? Her season status is still up in the air—no full-time deal yet, despite the strong showing and great chemistry with Team SPS. Sponsorships and social media could tip the scales, just like Danica and Toni B. have said. Do you think Amber’s performance at Daytona will lock her in for more races? #Sports #Racing #ARCA

Cleveland’s top prospects take on legendary numbers

Will these young guys live up to the legacy, or start new stories of their own? #Sports #Baseball #ClevelandGuardians
