RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract #74–070–15 with FamiliesFirst, Inc., a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $631,536, to provide day treatment services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents, for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012, in an amount not to exceed $315,768.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 50% by Federal FFP Medi-Cal and 50% by State Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT). (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health day treatment for SED adolescents to reduce the need for hospitalization.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On January 18, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–070–13 (as amended by Amendment Agreement #74-070-14) with FamiliesFirst, Inc., for the period from January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2011, for the provision of an intensive day treatment program for seriously emotionally disturbed (SED) adolescents.

Approval of Contract #74–070–15 will allow Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2012.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer treatment facilities for SED children, which may result in additional requirements for acute care or placement at higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children ready for and succeeding in school”; “Families that are safe, stable, nurturing”; and “Communities that are safe and provide a high quality of life for children and families”. The expected outcomes include all goals identified by Children’s Statewide System of Care guidelines including increasing and maintaining school attendance as measured by school records; an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS); an increase in family satisfaction - as measured by the Parent Satisfaction Survey; decreased used of acute care system; and placement at discharge to a lower level of care.
