BACKGROUND:
Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (CLPCCD) has a successful history in providing an array of
training and technical assistance to group homes and foster family agencies. CLPCCD and EHSD outreach
activities have included presentations, personal contact, and mailings to service providers announcing training
information. The contact resulted in capacity-building in the Contra Costa County group home community and
between counties with the same or similar programs. The requests for education and training have increased.
The education and training provided to group home caregivers ranges from clinical training to topics such as
CPR, first aid, computer skills, and supervisory skills, all in an effort to expand the expertise of those individuals
providing placement and services to Contra Costa County children and youth.
The contract increase requested will allow the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District to expand the
training services to group home providers to meet the growing education and training needs without fiscal
impact to the County.
