Subject:Novation Contract #24–308-38 with Early Childhood Mental Health Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
it provides school and community based mental health services, including assessments;
individual, group and family therapy; medication support; case management; outreach; and
crisis intervention services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) middle and high
school aged children and their families.
On November 10, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24 308-37
with Early Childhood Mental Health Program for the period from July 1, 2009 through June
30, 2010, (which included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2010) for
the provision of specialized mental health services to children and their families.
Approval of Novation Contract #24 308-38 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2011.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health services to families in
West Contra Costa County.

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
