Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, MARCH 8, 1979 Kira Glasses H & Programs d In lira Prauentative Mental Health By TOM BUSSELBERG FARMINGTON - More classes and programs are needed in preventative mental health and the state funding formula financing mental health agencies should be, reviewed, the countys mental health board chairman says. COMMENTING IN a preface to the boards annual report, Chairman Ed Mayer says, Preventative and education programs are somewhat limited. While the classes and programs which have been available to the community appear to be successful, programming in this area needs to be expanded. Speaking of the financing formula he continues, The current funding formula used by the Utah Department of Social Services has the effect of penalizing Davis County Family and Community Mental Health Center because of the unified system in which it operates. To my knowledge, Davis County is the only county which is organized in this way, and continually suffers when the Department of Social Services prepares its budget. NOTING A very conservative view of mental health generally held by county residents, Mr. Mayer con- tinues, More effort needs to be devoted to educating and the informing general population in order to change and increase awareness of what mental health is really all about. At the same time, he praised the county agency saying, "I believe that Davis County Mental Health is a well organized, administered program and provides many services for most of the population of Davis County and is intent upon taking and making its services available to all segments of society. attitudes IN HIS comments about the past year, Mental Health Director Russell A. Williams, says, "The center has just completed a two year phase-i- n program that has enabled it to establish programs in all of the 12 basic services outlined. Over the last two years of operation we feel we have been successful in meeting and maintaining these goals. Although our first two years have enabled us to implement critical services, there are still areas that need further attention and evaluation. We feel that providing inpatient and residential treatment within the county is imperative and needs immediate attention. DR. WILLIAMS told the board, when presenting them with the report, that an inpa- tient psychiatric facility should be open for utilization by April 1 at Lakeview Hospital in Bountiful. Flooding and other problems at the hospital have hampered its opening, originally set for March 1. Lakeview Hospital ministrator Bill Moore will Ad- discuss the project at the' April 5 board meeting. During 1978, the mental health agency operated with $924,000 in funding divided between $204,000 received in fees and contracts, $27,000 in county funding, $243,000 from the state and nearly $450,000 from tistics listed the current caseload at 1,026 patients with an eight percent readmission rate.
