Ald. Rossana Rodriguez-Sanchez (33) in a thread about mental health services offered by the city tweeted “A few things about this. The vast majority of services are being provided by non-profits. This means that many of the clinicians are not being paid even remotely what they should make. For comparison a clinician working for the city makes min. 76K a year Nonprofits can pay as little as 42K. Last budget we introduced a budget amendment calling for a $10M expansion of CDPH mental health centers that received the support of 26 of my colleagues. CDPH called on my colleagues to not support the amendment & offered us Instead to add 29 positions to the public mental health clinics. Only 10 of these ended up being clinician positions for the existing clinics that they promote in this video. Last time we talked with CDPH the positions had not yet been hired because they need to be reclassified”
