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.
