Orange County expanded its early childhood mental health consultation services for children up to 8 years old and allocated an additional $5 million for the services.
During an Aug. 10 meeting, the Orange County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an amendment to the county’s contract to increase funding by allocating over $140,000 to the nonprofit Charitable Ventures, citing that the pandemic’s “unexpected stressors” left children with a need to strengthen their emotional wellbeing.
