This TBS program supports the following Board of Supervisors' community outcomes: "Children Ready For

and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families". Expected program outcomes include an
increase in positive social and emotional development as measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional
Assessment Scale (CAFAS), increase in family satisfaction - as measured by the Parent Satisfaction Survey,
decreased use of acute care system, and placement at discharge to a lower level of care.

The State Department of Mental Health has established a mandated program to provide Therapeutic
Behavioral Services (TBS) to children ages 0-21 years of age and their families, who participate in the
Early and Periodic, Diagnosis, and Treatment (ESPDT) Supplemental Specialty Mental Health services.
This program provides services to eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries less than 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 March 8, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #24-820-7 with Edgewood Center for
Children and Families for the period from January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005, (which included a six-month
automatic extension through December 31, 2005) for the provision of Therapeutic Behavioral Services to
County referred clients ages 0-21 years and their families.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-820-8 will replace the automatic extension under the prior Contract, and
allow the Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2006.
