Crisis Stabilization Unit ADBAC position

A psychiatric registered nurse asked the board to preserve the ADBAC position at the CSU, describing the wide range of vulnerable patients the unit serves, from suicidal youth to people experiencing homelessness.

A licensed clinical social worker serving as behavioral health hospital liaison asked the board to fund the CSU ADBAC positions, saying better staffing increases bed utilization and reduces county costs from placements in non-Medi-Cal facilities.
