To address the lasting mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) implemented CalHOPE. Through CalHOPE, Californians can access free services to support mental health and wellbeing such as a warm line, chat services, and resources tailored to special populations including native communities and youth. Aurrera Health team supports DHCS and all CalHOPE project partners to bring mental health resources to California residents by providing ongoing project management and implementation support. The team also leads qualitative and quantitative data management and analysis to track CalHOPE accomplishments, outreach successes, utilization data, and real-life testimonials.
