APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Paul Gibson, LCSW, to increase the payment limit by $52,500 to a new payment limit of $145,300 to provide Clinical Supervision Services to Children and Family Services Bureau staff seeking licensure, effective July 1, 2018 with no change to the original contract term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract amendment will increase department expenditures by $52,500. The funds allocated for this contract are 100% State 2011 Realignment and are included in the FY 2018/19 department budget.

BACKGROUND:

In order to meet the standards of the Board of Behavioral Science Examiners (Board) to be licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), staff with advanced degrees must register as interns with the Board. Interns are required to accumulate a specified number of individual supervision hours through their clinical practice.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In addition to group clinical supervision, Contractor will provide supervision and training that will include, but not be limited to, case-specific consultation, guidance, and support to Employment and Human Services Department Children and Family Services staff with the focus on providing supervisees with hours towards their licensures. A certificate of completion for fifteen (15) hour clinical supervisor courses and copies of current Board of Behavioral Sciences license will be provided to supervisees who meet the required accumulated hours.

The original contract had a payment limit of $92,800 with a term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; 2) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and 3) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families, by providing child welfare staff with the tools needed to deliver services to youth and families.
