This fact sheet, published in conjunction with a related report on the mental health status of California's adult population, describes key definitions for "mental health need" and "mental health treatment" and provides a region and county-by-county table of the number of all adults, adults less than 200% FPL, and adults with public health insurance coverage in California with mental health needs.

These publications were funded with a grant from the California Department of Mental Health.
