RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-517-4 with Child Therapy Institute of Marin, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $817,930, to provide mental health services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children in East and West Contra Costa County, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020, which includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $408,965.

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 to adolescents with emotional and behavioral problems to improve school performance, reduce unsafe behavioral practices, and reduce the need for out-of-home placements.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 11, 2018 the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-517-3 with Child Therapy Institute of Marin, for the provision of mental health services for SED children in East and West Contra Costa County for the period from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2019.

Approval of Novation Contract #74-517-4 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue to provide mental health services through June 30, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, SED children and adolescents will not have access to mental health services provided by Contractor.

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).
