About the
Representative Stakeholder Steering Committee (RSSC)
Membership of the
Steering Committee is determined by the requirements of the Mental
Health Services Act and is meant to be a broad representative
group of Stanislaus County stakeholders.
The core responsibility of the RSSC is to provide guidance to
Stanislaus County in establishing initial priorities for the
component plans of MHSA. It is crucial to keep in mind the
importance of what is being asked of the RSSC. Each time an initial
plan is being developed a variety of methods are used to engage
broad community input and there is always more needs identified than
can be addressed in the initial three-year plan. As a result, there
is a need to make tough decisions about where to start. By utilizing
a consensus model with the RSSC, BHRS staff can develop a plan that
accurately reflects community priorities, DMH Plan Guidelines, and
BHRS’ capacity to implement and sustain the plan developed. All
plans are subject to 30-day public review and comment prior to
submission to the State Department of Mental Health for approval.
Because
participation in this Steering Committee is so crucial to the
overall community stakeholder process, each committee member has the
opportunity to identify an “alternate” to attend meetings in their
unavoidable absence. In designating an alternate, a number of
considerations are important:
1)
The alternate must also represent the community’s
interests/priorities;
2)
The alternate must be identified prior to scheduled meetings
to allow communication and education on the issues;
3)
The alternate must be empowered to fully participate in the
process.
