Connecting people with care

Welcome to  Help@Hand 

Help@Hand is a California statewide collaborative project to bring technology-based mental health solutions to the public mental health system through a highly innovative portfolio of digital solutions. The goals of this initiative are to increase access to mental health care, promote early detection of mental health symptoms, and predict the onset of mental illness. The collaboration is piloting and deploying digital platforms that expand the capacity and capability of county mental health systems to serve individuals with a wide array of needs.
CalMHSA is an independent administrative and fiscal government agency focused on the efficient delivery of California mental health projects. CalMHSA was established in June 2009 as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) where members work together to develop, fund, and implement mental health services, projects, and educational programs.

The Result

The makers of A4i reported people in emotional difficulty who’ve used the app say it works.
