Mental Health, Chemical Dependency & Therapeutic Drug Court 

Community Advisory Committee​


Ordinance 507-2013 authorized a 1/10th of 1 percent sales-and-use tax to designated to fund mental health, substance abuse and therapeutic court programs and services. A Community Advisory Committee was also formed to review applications for these funds and make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners.

  • One from the Salish Behavioral Health Organization Advisory Board
  • One from the Commission on Children and Youth
  • One from the Area Agency on Aging
  • One from Law and Justice
  • One  from Education
  • Six At-Large representing a broad spectrum of diverse community members whose background and expertise enhance the function and effectiveness of the Advisory Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities.

Each year, the Community Advisory Committee reviews applications submitted from service providers who help prevent and reduce the impacts of disabling chemical dependency and mental illness by creating and investing in effective, data-driven programs for a continuum of recovery-oriented systems of care. Applications are submited by local agencies and organizatinos through a request for proposal process. 

The work of the committee is guided by a six-year strategic plan developed in coordatintion with service providers and other subject-matter experts using data to identify needs and gaps in services. The Board of County Commissioners approves the strategic plan.
