execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract #24-826-8 with Early Childhood Mental
Health Program, in an amount not to exceed $207, 803., for the period from July 1, 2001

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATF14=:
This EPSDT program supports "Children ready for and succeeding in school", "Children and
youth who are healthy and preparing for a productive adulthood", and "Families that are
safe, stable and nurturing" community outcomes. Expected program outcomes include
improvement in social-emotional development, avoidance of out-of-home placements, reduction
of reports involving Children's Protective Services, increased family satisfaction, and
an increased use of public and community-base resources.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
This Contract meets the social needs of County's population in that it provides Early
Childhood Assessment and Treatment Team (ECATT) services to children under the age of 6;
and their families, with a special focus on teen parents, in order to keep the children
out of higher levels of care, including State Hospitals.
On June 20, 2000, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-826-7 with Early Childhood
Mental Health Program, for the period from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001, (which
included a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2001) to provide early
childhood assessment and treatment services in West County.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-826-8 replaces the six-month automatic extension under
the prior Contract and allows the Contractor to continue providing services through June
30, 2002 .
