RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Interagency Agreement #74-638 with Contra Costa County Office of Education, an educational institution, in an amount not to exceed $4,347,281, to implement and oversee the Contra Costa County Wellness in Schools Program (WISP) to provide support to Contra Costa school districts, including high-need and underserved school districts for students with behavioral health concerns, for the period from September 1, 2021 through August 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $4,347,281 over a 4-year period funded 100% by California’s Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission (MHSOAC).

BACKGROUND:

This contract is for the Contra Costa County WISP which will enhance existing County partnerships with school-based programs to expand access to mental health services for children and youth, including facilitating campus-based mental health services, linkage, and access to ongoing and sustained services. Contra Costa Behavioral Health child and adolescent mental health services will act as the lead agency in partnership with the Contra Costa County Office of Education and local school districts to implement the program, which will include providing additional staff to support children's mental health needs and create a network of parent peer support providers.

Under Interagency Agreement #74-638, the contractor will implement and oversee WISP in Contra Costa County schools for the period September 1, 2021 through August 30, 2025.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Contra Costa County schools will not have the WISP program for their students with behavioral health concerns.
