The University of California San Francisco will develop and implement California’s Child Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) Behavioral Health (BH) Consult Program, as part of the state’s Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health. The BH Consult Program aims to advance health equity by increasing access to quality, evidence-based, culturally responsive mental and behavioral health care for all of California’s children and youth 0-25. Through consultation, education and training, primary care providers will deepen and expand their knowledge, skills and confidence in addressing behavioral health needs in accessible, lower stigma primary care settings. The statewide program will be a substantial expansion of UCSF’s Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Portal, a pediatric mental health access program established in 2019. Expansion will include establishing additional partner satellite hub sites throughout California, developing partnerships with professional clinical training programs i.e. pediatric and family medicine residency, child & adolescent psychiatry fellowship, nurse practitioner, social work, public health and other related training programs. Part of the program’s near-term expansion includes development of a novel tech-enabled consultation platform. The team is currently comprised of multiple physician, psychologist and social work staff who provide consultation, training and care coordination.
The operations director will recruit and manage additional managers/coordinators and administrative support team members in the areas of marketing, communications, consult platform & website management, evaluation & research, and educational programming, in order to implement and sustain the strategic growth goals, to the satisfaction of the program director and relevant associate directors. The position requires financial oversight of multiple grants and sub-contracts. The primary site is UCSF, with planned near-term development of additional sub-contracted satellite sites.
