| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
This second amendment adds Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funding in the amount of $47,800 for fiscal year 2019-20. This funding will be used to augment direct service staff salaries to ensure qualified personnel retention for the Turning Point Community Services (TPCP) Adult Outpatient Specialty Mental Health Services Program at the Pine Tree Gardens Board and Care facilities (PTG B&Cs). The outpatient specialty mental health services(SMHS) provided by TPCP at the PTG B&Cs support consumers who have a history of or are at risk for psychiatric hospitalization and/or placements in Institutions for Mental Disease.
These outpatient SMHS aim to restore, maintain, or improve personal independence and functioning consistent with requirements for learning and development. Services are patterned upon evidence-based or best practice-based models of treatment incorporating principles of “recovery” from symptoms of mental illness and are provided in a less restrictive environment, allowing consumers to receive the appropriate level of services. This also allows the County to achieve cost savings by reducing higher level/higher cost placements.
Retention of qualified staff is crucial for the success of this program, thus the Yolo Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is requesting approval of this second amendment to support TPCP with the provision of these vital services to vulnerable County consumers. |
