RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Interagency Agreement #29-513-24 with Mt. Diablo Unified School District, a government agency, to pay the County an amount not to exceed $533,891 to provide professional school-based mental health services, crisis intervention, and day treatment for seriously emotionally disturbed students, for the period from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this interagency agreement will result in a total payments to the County not to exceed $533,891. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Fred Finch Youth Center, Families First and Seneca Residential & Day Treatment Center for Children work collaboratively with the County and school district personnel in developing program services and policies. The primary goal of the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) Program and non-Medi-Cal mental health programs are to continue to provide seriously emotionally disturbed children with the services and the support they need to function effectively in school, at home, and in the community.

On January 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #29-513-23 with Mt. Diablo Unified School District, in an amount not to exceed $533,891, for Fred Finch Youth Center,

Families First and Seneca Residential & Day Treatment Center for Children to provide professional school-based mental health services for the period from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

Approval of Interagency Agreement #29-513-24 will allow the County to receive funding from Mt. Diablo Unified School District to support Fred Finch Youth Center, Families First and Seneca Residential & Day Treatment Center for Children in offering continuous mental health services, crisis intervention services and day treatment to its seriously emotionally disturbed students within the District, through June 30, 2022.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, seriously emotionally disturbed students will not receive school-based mental health and crisis intervention services.

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).
