SECTION VI: STATE MENTAL HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL REQUIREMENTS
Membership Requirements
In Florida, the State Mental Health Planning Council has 38 membership slots as listed in Table 1. As shown in this table, these members include representatives from nine principal state agencies with responsibility in the following areas: (1) mental health, (2) criminal justice, (3) education, (4) Medicaid, (5) social services, (6) vocational rehabilitation (7) housing (8) elder affairs and (9) health. The Council maintains representatives from other public and private entities concerned with the need, planning, operation, funding and use of mental health services and related services. These include adults who are current or former consumers of mental health services; family members of adults with serious mental illnesses and children with serious emotional disturbances; and representatives of organizations of individuals with mental illnesses, their families, or community groups who advocate on their behalf. These entities include the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance of Florida, Florida Council for Community Mental Health, Federation of Families, National Mental Health Associations of Florida, NAMI Florida, and the Florida Statewide Advocacy Council.
Table 2 provides a summary of the Florida’s Mental Health Planning Council composition by membership type. As shown in this table, the distribution of the 38 Council members includes: eleven adults with serious mental illness (SMI); seven family members of adults with SMI and children with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and twelve state employees and providers; four other (non-state employees and providers), and four vacancies. According to this distribution, the ratio of parents of children with SED to other Council members is 8 percent (3 out of 38). The Council believes this level of representation is sufficient. The percent of state employees and providers is 32 percent.

Planning Council Charge, Role and Activities:
The Florida State Mental Health Planning Council derives its charge from Section 1914(b) of the Public Health Services Act (42 U.S.C. 300x-4). According to the By-laws of the Council, the purposes of this organization are:
(1) To review plans provided to the Council pursuant to Section 1915 (a) by the state involved and to submit to the state involved any recommendations of the Council for modifications to the plans.
(2) To serve as an advocate for adults with serious mental illness, children with serious emotional disturbances or other individuals with mental illnesses or emotional problems.
(3) To monitor, review, and evaluate, at least once annually, the allocation and adequacy of mental health services within the state.
The role of the Council in improving mental health services within the State is accomplished through the development of specific committees as follows:
Ø Executive Committee – This committee includes the chairperson, past chairperson if still a member of the council, vice-chairperson and secretary. The duties of this committee involve acting on matters that develop between the regularly scheduled meetings of the Council. This committee also makes specific recommendations to the Council in order to continue and/or improve the effectiveness of the Council in fulfilling its responsibilities.
Ø Membership Committee – This committee identifies and nominates individuals to serve on the Council. The committee provides an orientation to all new members and provides a basic understanding to all members of the role of the Council.
Ø Monitoring Committee – This committee provides enhanced perspectives when participating in joint monitoring of providers with the Department.
Ø Legislative Advocacy Committee – This committee facilitates access to legislators to provide input, feedback and information designed to impact the legislative decision-making process. The committee also provides technical assistance to other Council members on how to approach/contact legislators when the Legislature is not in session.
In addition to established committees, the chairperson may create ad hoc committees to fulfill specific functions of the Council. For example, below is a list of the current ad hoc committees:
ü Communications (website);
ü Block Grant (review of the state’s block grant application);
ü Children’s (specific focus on children’s issues); and
ü Nominating (creating a formalized process for nominating members).
