Advocacy for Peer /End User Inclusion
Overview - California Behavioral Health Planning Council
In June of 2019, the Council approved updated vision and mission statements as well as the addition of the guiding principles listed below.
Vision
A behavioral health system that makes it possible for individuals to lead full and purposeful lives.
Mission
To review, evaluate and advocate for an accessible and effective behavioral health system.
Guiding Principles
- Wellness and Recovery: Wellness and recovery may be achieved through multiple pathways that support an individual to live a fulfilled life and reach their full potential.
- Resiliency Across the lifespan: Resilience emerges when individuals of all ages are empowered and supported to cope with life events.
- Advocacy and Education: Effective advocacy for policy change statewide starts with educating the public and decision makers on behavioral health issues.
- Cultural Humility and Responsiveness: Services must be delivered in a way that is responsive to the needs of California’s diverse populations and respects all aspects of an individual’s culture.
Parity and System Accountability: A quality public behavioral health system includes stakeholder input, parity and performance measures that improve services and outcomes.
History
The California Behavioral Health Planning Council is mandated by federal and state statute to advocate for children with serious emotional disturbances and adults and older adults with serious mental illness; to review and report on the public behavioral health system; participate in statewide planning, and to advise the Legislature on priority issues.
Since the 1960s California has had a statewide advisory board operating independently from the State Department of Mental Health (now the Department of Health Care Services) to provide public input into mental health policy development and planning. The California Mental Health Planning Council, was established in state statute in 1993 in response to the realignment of mental health program responsibility and funding. In addition to establishing a dedicated funding base for mental health services, realignment provided county governments with greater autonomy and flexibility in managing their local mental health programs.
The Planning Council was designed to be an appropriate structure for public input, planning, and evaluation of performance indicators for mental health programs under realignment and tasked with specific duties to meet those responsibilities. In 2018, the California Mental Health Planning Council was renamed the California Behavioral Health Planning Council.

Open meetings
Brown Act and Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Acts
The Handy Guide To Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act, pdf (40 pages)summarizes California law governing all "state" boards and commissions. It generally requires these bodies to publicly notice their meetings, prepare agendas, accept public testimony and conduct their meetings in public unless specifically authorized to meet in closed session. This pamphlet was written with the individual board member in mind, and is intended to be an easy "how-to" guide to the law.
The Attorney General's 2003 pamphlet, The Brown Act, Open Meetings for Local Legislative Bodies, pdf ( 14 pages) summarizes the open meeting law for local boards and commissions.
