Network of Care for Mental Health/Behavioral Health
The popularity and success of Network of Care for Seniors and People with Disabilities generated great interest in the mental health community. In response, the California Department of Mental Health commissioned Trilogy to develop Network of Care for Mental Health. The inaugural site was launched in San Diego County in April 2003.
Like the other two Network of Care Web sites, the mental-health site features a fast and comprehensive Service Directory; a political advocacy tool; an enormous library; links to mental-health Web sites nationwide; important information to help link individuals to support groups and personal advocacy resources in the community, as well as a repository of best practices - successful, creative ways for communities to respond to their mental-health needs.
Trilogy's mental-health site supports the "No Wrong Door" philosophy of care, enabling families to access needed mental-health services regardless of their first point of contact with the public system. It facilitates the integration of services in the System of Care by allowing public and nonprofit agencies to work together more effectively in providing Wraparound and other collaborative services to individuals and families.
