RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with A Step Forward Child Abuse Treatment and Training Programs, a Marriage, Family and Child Counseling Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide mental health services to non Medi-Cal eligible clients for the period of August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This will increase expenditures by $200,000 funded 30% through County General Fund and 70% through State 2011 Realignment revenues.

BACKGROUND:

A Step Forward Child Abuse Treatment and Training Programs, a Marriage, Family and Child Counseling Corporation (Contractor) provides mental health services for non Medi-Cal eligible clients of Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD). Contractor will also provide services determined appropriate and authorized by EHSD's Children and Family Services Bureau (CFS), for Medi-Cal eligible client services that are not covered by Medi-Cal (i.e. report writing). Contract includes compliance with certification requirements, maintaining compliance with Contractor’s County Mental Health Services contract, compliance with reporting requirements, coordination with other County services, and maintaining quality of services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, EHSD’s ability to provide mental health services to many non MediCal clients will be hindered.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support four of the five Contra Costa County community outcomes: (1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (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 mental health services to non Medi-Cal clients.
