BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
On December 4, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #29–525–8 with First 5 Contra
Costa Children and Families Commission, for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, to pay County for
the provision of wraparound and other mental health services for children ages 0 to 5 years.
Approval of Interagency Agreement #29–525–9 will allow County’s Behavioral Health Services Division to continue
to provide wraparound and other mental health services to children through June 30, 2014.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, County’s clients, ages 0 – 5 at We Care Services for Children, Lynn Center, and
Early Childhood Mental Health Program will not receive the wraparound treatment services that they need.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: “Children Ready For and
Succeeding in School” and “Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing”. Expected program outcomes include
success in school, a decrease in behavior problems, and a reduction in the number of out-of-home placements.
