RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #24-928-27 with Fred Finch Youth Center, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,295,794, to provide school and community based mental health services to adolescent children, including Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS), for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $637,897.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 49% Federal Medi-Cal, 49% Mental Health Realignment and 2% by Mt. Diablo Unified School District. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing school and community based mental health services including: assessments, individual, group and family therapy, medication support, case management, outreach, TBS and crisis intervention services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) middle and high school aged children and their families.



BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 8, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-928-26 with Fred Finch Youth Center, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, for the provision of school-based day treatment and mental health services for students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.

Approval of Novation Contract #24–928–27 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED children within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District will not receive the school-based day treatment and mental health services that they need and may require higher and more costly levels of treatment.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This EPSDT 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).
