RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Family and Children's Trust Committee, to execute a contract with modified indemnification language with YMCA of the East Bay in an amount not to exceed $80,000 to provide Attachment, Recognition, and Competency Project services for the period September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract, not to exceed $80,000, is funded 100% State Child Abuse Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment funding.

BACKGROUND:

The Attachment, Self -Regulation, and Competency Project will provide mental health services, including trauma focused therapy to elementary school students in San Pablo. Through the provision of direct services and advocacy in English and Spanish, caregivers and families will receive support and information to help them with positive nurturing parenting; provide students with trauma focused counseling to improve resiliency and emotional behavioral health; reduce barriers to treatment; decrease the risk of abuse and neglect; and provide services that are culturally and linguistically appropriate.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding the Family and Children's Trust Committee funding, the trauma-informed therapy, education and family therapy program would not be implemented.
