RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #29-534 with First 5 Contra Costa Children and Families Commission, a government agency, to pay County an amount not to exceed $201,667, to provide mental health services to children, from birth to six, and their mothers who are enrolled in a substance abuse treatment program, for the period from November 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Interagency Agreement will result in a total payment to the County not to exceed $201,667. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

This Agreement will provide funding to County in order to provide mental health services to children ages, birth to 6, and their mothers and caregivers who are enrolled in substance abuse treatment programs. These services are needed in order to help strengthen and maintain the relationship between mother and child while the mother participates in a substance abuse treatment program. Maintaining a healthy relationship between parent and child is a key factor in healthy early childhood development.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under Interagency Agreement #29-534 Agency will pay County for the provision of mental health services to children and their mothers in a substance abuse treatment setting, through June 30, 2013.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, Agency will not pay County for the provision of mental health services to children and their mothers.

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, and Nurturing”; and “Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families”. Expected program outcomes include an increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS).
