Subject:Novation Contract #24–308-41 with Early Childhood Mental Health Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On September 18, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24 308-40 with Early Childhood
Mental Health Program for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, which included a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2013, for the provision of specialized mental health services to children
and their families.
Approval of Novation Contract #24 308-41 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, there will be fewer mental health services provided to families in West Contra Costa
County.

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
