BACKGROUND/REASON(S)FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The State Department of Mental Health has been working in collaboration with the County's
Mental Health Division to establish a mandated program to provide TBS to children ages 0-21
years of age, who participate in the EPSDT Supplemental Specialty Mental Health services. This
program will provide services to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries under 21 years of age who meet
the Mental Health Plan medical necessity criteria, who are members of the certified class and who
meet the criteria for needing these services.
On November 27, 2007, the Board of Supervisors approved Novation Contract #74-051-14 with
Family Stress Center, Inc., for the period from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, which included
a six-month automatic extension through December 31, 2008, for the provision of TBS for
Seriously Emotionally Disturbed(SED) youth.
Approval of Novation Contract #74-051-15 replaces the automatic extension under the prior
Contract, allowing Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2009.
