RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #29-602 with The Tides Center, a non-profit corporation, to pay County an amount not to exceed $253,000, to provide mental health services and crisis intervention for the School Engagement Program, for the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this Interagency Agreement will result in an amount not to exceed $253,000 from The Tides Center. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The Tides Center, Lincoln Child Center and the Health Services Department will collaborate to provide mental health services and crisis intervention to students enrolled in Contra Costa County schools and their families through the School Engagement Program. The County’s Health Services Department will subcontract with Lincoln Child Center to provide mental health services and crisis intervention to students who have been referred to the School Engagement Program through the State of California Court Parent Truancy Program, the County’s District Attorneys’ Office and the Contra Costa County Office of Education.

Under Interagency Agreement #29-602 will allow The Tides Center to pay the County for mental health services and crisis intervention for students and their families enrolled in Contra Costa County schools, through June 30, 2017.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the County will not be able to provide these mental health services and crisis intervention under the School Engagement Program to students and their families in the Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ 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).
