Subject:Contract #74–051–19 with STAND! For Families Free of Violence
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Medi-Cal beneficiaries less than 21 years of age, who meet the medical necessity criteria of their Mental Health Plan,
and who have been discharged from a hospital or have failed in other placements. Additional EPSDT funded services
include programs that provide respite and mentoring services to families of Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED)
children, 18 years of age or less, in order to reduce family stress, support family stability and reduce the need for
out-of-home placements.
On February 28, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74 051 18 with STAND! For Families
Free of Violence, for the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, which included a six-month automatic
extension through December 31, 2012, for the provision of TBS and Respite and Mentoring services to County
referred-clients.
Approval of Contract #74–051–19 will allow Contractor to continue providing services, through June 30, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health services available to SED children possibly
resulting in higher levels of care.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
These programs support 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).
