FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

CFDA #93.658

BACKGROUND:

The Sanctuary Institute division of Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial, Inc. provides technical assistance, on-going training, and other tools for implementing a trauma-responsive model of services and practices in organizations. This amended contract is to provide trauma-sensitive training to all Children and Family Services (CFS) Programs, Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse, and Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) Staff Development.

This amendment adds Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (Alliance) and EHSD Staff Development to expand the scope of EHSD staff and leadership trained in trauma-responsive practices.

Stated outcomes for this contract are that CFS Program leadership and staff must be more comfortable in using and sustaining the trauma-responsive model of services and must recognize and achieve specific milestones in the use of tools and integration of trauma-responsive concepts.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Participants in CFS, Alliance, and Staff Development programs will not receive services from EHSD staff and leadership delivered with improved trauma-awareness and trauma-sensitivity.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (3)"Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and (5)"Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” by implementing trauma-sensitive practices and instilling trauma-awareness in all Children and Family Services programs.
