Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne County Mental Health

Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne County Mental Health has launched a breakthrough Web solution, www.networkofcare.org, for individuals, families and agencies concerned with mental and emotional wellness.

A demonstration of the Network of Care for Mental Health Web site will be presented by representatives from Trilogy Integrated Resources LLC of San Rafael, California, on May 18, 2006.

Sponsored by the Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63) in partnership with the California Department of Mental Health, Network of Care for Mental Health (www.networkofcare.org) is a pilot program for California and the nation. The new Web site will enable people to find the right service at the right time; educate themselves about their issues; understand current policy initiatives and advocate directly to elected officials, and better manage their affairs, interactions and important records.

The Network of Care for Mental Health provides a comprehensive Service Directory of the approximately 120 service providers in Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties, putting people in touch with the right services at the right time. Network of Care also provides easy-to-search libraries and vital information about specific disorders, pending legislation and advocacy, as well as daily news articles from around the world concerning mental health, mental retardation and substance abuse.

To increase accessibility and accommodate Network of Care’s users, the site’s innovative technology provides near-universal access, regardless of literacy or income level, to Web-based services through a text-only version of the site and other adaptive technologies. The site is fully ADA-compliant and Bobby-approved. Network of Care also is available in multiple languages.

Service providers can share challenges and ideas, as well as create powerful new mechanisms to better serve people with mental illness, mental retardation and substance abuse, by embracing Network of Care’s communication tools such as message boards and community calendars. Service providers can even build their own free Web sites in the For Providers section.

Trilogy Integrated Resources LLC of San Rafael, Calif., created, developed and maintains Network of Care for Mental Health and all of the other California Network of Care Web sites, including Network of Care for Seniors and People with Disabilities, currently serving one-third of California’s population and the entire State of Oregon; Network of Care for Kids (ages 0-5); Network of Care for Children & Families (ages 0-18); Network of Care for Developmental Disabilities, and Network of Care for Domestic Violence. Based on requests from across the nation, Trilogy is also developing a Network of Care site for community health.
