RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Novation Contract #74-315-16 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $1,435,226, to provide Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) and outpatient mental health services to Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) children and youth, and their families, 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 $717,613.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded by 50% Federal Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) and 50% Mental Health Realignment Funds. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On December 18, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74–315–15 with Community Options for Families and Youth, Incorporated to provide TBS, Multisystemic Behavioral Therapy and Counseling Enriched Classroom school-based services, 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 #74–315–16 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 children and youth involved in the juvenile justice system will not have access to Contractor’s mental health services which may result in a reduction of services and placement in higher levels of care.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This TBS 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).
