Subject:Novation Contract #24–927–17 with Community Health for Asian Americans
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
This Contract also provides day treatment and mental health services to dually diagnosed adolescents admitted into
the West County Youth Drug Court, in order to reduce unsafe behavior, improve school attendance and performance,
avoid out-of-home placement, and deal with emotional problems.
On December 6, 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24–927–16 with Community Health
for
Asian Americans for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, for the provision of school and community
based mental health services in West County.
On February 7, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #74-313-7 with Community Health for Asian
Americans for the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012, for the provision of school and community
based mental health services in East County.
Both Contracts included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2012.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–927–17 combines similar children’s mental health services, replaces the
automatic extensions under the prior Contracts, allowing the Contractor to continue providing services throughout
East and West County, through June 30, 2013
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, Asian American and other ethnic groups receiving community mental health services
throughout the County would have reduced access to services in school, drug court and clinic settings.

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
