Mental Health' s share of this in-kind contribution for all three PIP programs totals $28 ,395 or 25% of the total cost ($112 ,533) of these three projects . This County in-kind contribution includes an allocation of a specific number of hours of current staff time already budgeted in the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health budget , plus mileage and administrative/overhead costs , so no new monies are required . Grant monies received flow through the Health Services Department to the school districts via subcontracts to finance project staff hired by the school district and project operating expenses . A total of $3 ,339 in grant monies remains with the County (a) to off-set the cost of County staff participation (mandated) in State PIP training events ($970) and (b) to fund specific regional coordination/consultation services provided to the State by the Alcohol/Drug Abuse/Mental Health Division ( $2 ,369) . The 1988-89 Fiscal Year is the third year of three-year State grants for both the Richmond and San Ramon PIP projects . This is the second of an expected three-year State grant for the John Swett PIP project . III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND : National surveys have shown that about 30% of all American children experience moderate to severe school adjustment problems . Left unattended, such problems worsen , and in many cases , result in extensive human and social costs . In recent years , a body of data has grown demonstrating that programs based on systematic early detection and screening backed by prompt intervention are effec- tive in remediating early adjustment problems and in preventing the need for later , more specialized and costly public services . California' s Primary Prevention Project is modeled after the Primary Mental health Prevention Project in Rochester , New York. The University of Rochester has conducted extensive research over the past 25 years on the Rochester Model , including outcome studies , and the evidence is clear that the program works . In 1985 the Legislature enacted AB 1934 (Bates ) which created the Mental Health Primary Prevention Fund in the State Treasury as a stable mechanism to partially finance three-year demonstra- tion Primary Prevention Projects . A joint proposal by County Mental Health and interested school districts is required to secure funding. County Mental Health is also required to pro- vide clinical consultation/ training to grant recipients and to participate in the State ' s annual training conference. For a relatively small in-kind investment , the County in collaboration with schools has the opportunity to provide a proven, cost- effective prevention/early intervention program. All three PIP projects are enthusiastically supported by local school administrators , teachers , parents , students and local civic and service organizations . This fiscal year these three PIP projects will screen a minimum of 500 students for school adjustment problems and individually serve 175 or more children and their families .
