Be Well OC: A Mental Health Crisis Unfolds - A new mental health campus in Irvine, Be Well OC, faces an indefinite opening due to a lawsuit against Mind OC, the nonprofit running the project. The lawsuit accuses Mind OC of overcharging, breaching patient privacy, and ties to a former supervisor now in prison. The county lacks enough beds and experts to handle rising mental health needs, with gaps in both public and private systems. The state faces a psychiatrist shortage and pandemic-related strains. Despite these challenges, the county plans to add five hundred mental health beds over the next five years.
