Thank you! it is a total God thing that I was hired on after receiving medication and services from Behavioral Health Services in orange county for about 3 or 4 years. I was doing volunteer speaking engagements in schools for AA as well, and spoke about mental health in front of a large group of Health Providers and Behavioral Health staff. The next week out of no where, my supervisor, who is a christian, called me up and offered me a job.

You should call your local health department and ask them what they are doing with their prop 63 funds. The link to our OC info site is below....

Thank you again and God bless!
