RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-525-3 with Center for Psychotherapy, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $632,610, to provide mental health, case management and crisis intervention services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) adolescents and latency-aged children, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019, in an amount not to exceed $316,305.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 50% Federal Medi-Cal and 50% Mental Health Realignment funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing mental health services for SED adolescents and latency-aged children. Goals for program participants include reduction of disruptive behavior, keeping children with biological/adoptive parents, or in the case of foster children, reducing the need for multiple changes in placement and/or placement in residential treatment. Additional goals include stabilization in school settings and academic success.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On August 7, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved contract #74-525-2 with Center for Psychotherapy for the provision of mental health services, case management and crisis intervention for SED adolescents and latency-aged children, for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month extension through December 31, 2019

Approval of Novation Contract #74-525-3 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED adolescents and latency-aged children will not receive mental health services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports three of the Board of Supervisors’ five 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).
