PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The County of Fresno, on behalf of the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH), Mental
Health Services Act (MHSA), Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) component, is
providing funding to enhance the development of Horticultural Therapeutic Community
Centers (HTCC) (community gardens) or to enhance existing community gardens as a
platform for peer support, mental health delivery and engagement on matters that relate
to mental well being and mental health services, and to deliver mental health PEI
activities in traditionally and culturally relevant environments to un-served and
underserved suburban and rural communities.
Under this Master Agreement, DBH anticipates awarding additional contracts to ensure
that the horticulture-based PEI community centers are developed in geographically
dispersed locations of the County; thereby facilitating the delivery of mental health
information to a variety of unserved and underserved communities.
