| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Yolo County is mandated by statute to provide reunification services, such as parent education classes, for parents whose children have been removed from the home. Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) is also mandated to provide preventive services for families whose children are at immediate risk of being removed from the home. These services often include parent education classes.
Local, community-based services shorten travel time for families and foster greater participation and commitment. CommuniCare Health Centers, Inc., is a local organization providing parent education services in both Woodland and West Sacramento to both our English and Spanish speaking families.
The services currently being provided by CommuniCare Health Centers, Inc. under this contract, meet the unique needs of the Child Welfare Service program. The parent education curriculum offered by CommuniCare Health Centers, Inc., meets the court-ordered standards for parent education classes addressed in the California Welfare and Institution Codes. CommuniCare Health Centers, Inc., staff work closely with Child Welfare Services social workers to link, whenever possible, case plan objectives to service component outcomes.
Approval of this amendment is needed to meet the increased need for parent education classes experienced through September 30, 2018. CommuniCare has already provided increased services and this amendment will allow reimbursement for the services provided.
