RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #74–362–6 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $122,733, to provide Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) services for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. This Contract includes a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $61,367.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% by Proposition 63/MHSA. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing two evidence-based, best-practice programs, “Expect Respect,” and “You Never Win with Violence, at school sites in the County to directly affect the behaviors of youth (preventing future violence) and enhance mental health outcomes for students already experiencing teen dating violence. On September 9, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74–362-5 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2015, for the provision of MHSA PEI services. Approval of Novation Contract #74–362–6 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.

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.
