SPECIFICIREQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I I
RECOMMENDATION:
I I
APPROVE and AUTORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with
New Connections in the amount of$46,875 to provide mental health counseling services at the
Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility for the period November 15, 2006 through June 30, 2007.
� I
FISCAL IMPACT:
I
State funds appropriated from Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act will fully cover the cost of
these services. No County funds are required.
I
BACKGROUND: l
I I
Since the elimination of mental health services at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility
during the last budget session, the program has lacked mental health counseling services for
youths residing at the Ranch. This partnership will Orovide services to the residents as they
graduate from their programs and return to their families and community. Research in best
practices Indicates that youths who, in addition to probation supervision, receive assistance from
a mental health counselor when they return from a rehabilitative program demonstrate greater
successl and decreased likelihood they will return to gout of home placement or residential care.
