ACCESS California is a statewide consumer-led public mental health advocacy program of Cal Voices. Recognizing the statewide client advocacy voice had waned since the passage of the MHSA in 2004, Cal Voices MHA conceived the ACCESS program in 2016 to elevate and empower the client voice throughout California. In 2017, the MHSOAC formally funded the ACCESS California program specifically to accomplish these goals. As of November 2020, ACCESS California is funded by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Council on Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health.
