RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–362–8 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $130,207, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2018, in an amount not to exceed $65,103.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Mental Health Services Act. (3% Cost of Living Adjustment)

BACKGROUND:

On July 12, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–362-7 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2017, for the provision of MHSA PEI services.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Novation Contract #74–362–8 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, youth who are at-risk of experiencing violence and those who have experienced violence within their homes or dating relationships will not receive prevention and early intervention services from this Contractor.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This MHSA-PEI program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “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 youth experiencing, or at-risk of, teen dating violence will demonstrate an increased knowledge about the difference between healthy and unhealthy teen dating relationships; an increase sense of belonging to positive peer groups; an enhanced understanding that violence doesn’t have to be “normal” and an increased knowledge of their rights and responsibilities in a dating relationship.
