Membership consists of the following: • Five consumer representatives - a parent or person who receives or has received child care services in the past 36 months; Page 2 of 2 REASON/S FOR RECOMMENDATION: continued from page 1 • Five child care providers - a person who provides child care services or represents persons who provide child care services; • Five public agency representatives - a person who represents a city, county, city and county, or local education agency; • Five community representatives - a person who represents an agency or business that provides private funding for child care services or who advocates for child care services through participation in civic or community based organizations; • Five discretionary appointees - a person appointed from any of the above four categories or outside of those categories at the discretion of the appointing agencies.

From: Donna Wigand, LCSW Mental Health Director By: Vern Wallace, LMFT Child and Adolescent Program Chief Date: March 1, 2010 Cc: Suzanne Tavano Dorothy Sansoe Jan Cobaleda–Kegler Valerie Early Lionel Chatman Re: Chris Adams Girls Center Closure Follow-Up and Outcomes This memo will review the outcomes and closure of the Chris Adams Girls Center. (CAGC) had a lengthy history of providing leading edge, best practice models of treatment to the youngsters in its care. Over time, it provided Canine and Feline adjunctive therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), CBT for Depression, and was involved in the treatment of sexually exploited minors. History: The Chris Adams Girls Center was a 20 bed residential treatment facility utilizing evidence-based services that include education, responsibility, physical and emotional empowerment, community service, and mental health treatment for adolescent delinquent girls with emotional disorders. All of the girls were ordered by the court into “Group Home Placement” and were either accepted into Chris Adams Girls Center or sent to another youth facility, most often, at great distance from their homes. There were many fiscal and support issues that led to the eventual closure of Chris Adams Girls Center. Post Closure Outcomes The center was officially closed September 15, 2009. In the two months leading up to that closure, three girls graduated from the program, several left without permission, and two were returned to custody at juvenile hall. At closure there were seven young ladies in the program. Their disposition is as follows: z Contra Costa Alcohol and Other Drugs Services z Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services z Contra Costa Environmental Health z Contra Costa Health Plan z z Contra Costa Hazardous Materials Programs z Contra Costa Mental Health z Contra Costa Public Health z Contra Costa Regional Medical Center z Contra Costa Health Centers z Five girls who had a Juvenile Probation placement with 602 (criminal offender) status were in the program. One ran away from the program and was later placed in an alternative program only to run away to the streets. Four of these girls graduated and completed their program at Chris Adams Girls Center. Three of these youngsters returned home and the fourth asked to be re-placed in another group home, feeling she was not ready to return home. Of the four returned to the community, two have violated their probation and are now in the Juvenile Probation Departments’ new “Girls in Motion” program. Girls in Motion is an intense treatment program for serious female juvenile offenders. The other two youngsters remain in the community with supportive mental health services and, at this time, are doing well. There were two Child Welfare Placements in the program at closure. At this point both of these girls are stable and doing well. One is in a group home in Sacramento and one is living in foster placement. Both should be reunifying with their family. They remain stable to date. In summary, this was an excellent program serving some of Contra Costa’s neediest girls. It was recognized both in the state and nationally as a model program for girls. While there were several successes in this final group, several youngsters required additional services at placements outside Contra Costa County. .
