Subject:Novation Contract #24–928–24 with Fred Finch Youth Center
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
This Contract meets the social needs of County’s population by providing school and community based mental health
services including: assessments, individual, group and family therapy, medication support, case management,
outreach, TBS and crisis intervention services for Seriously Emotionally Disturbed (SED) middle and high school
aged children and their families.
On December 2, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #24-928-23 with Fred Finch Youth
Center, for the period from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, which included a six-month automatic extension
through December 31, 2015, for the provision of school-based day treatment and mental health services for
students in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
Approval of Novation Contract #24–928–24 replaces the automatic extension under the prior Contract and allows
the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2016.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, SED children within the Mt. Diablo Unified School District will not receive the
school-based day treatment and mental health services that they need and may require higher and more costly
levels of treatment.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This EPSDT 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
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).
