Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
This contract will provide Full Service Partnership (FSP) services to Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) consumers that are Seriously Mentally Ill (SMI), aimed at preventing consumers from requiring higher levels of care, or needing support in transitioning back into the community after being placed in a high level of care, like institutions for mental disease, acute psychiatric hospitals, and state hospitals. The services are community-based intensive services patterned upon evidenced-based practices and incorporate Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) concepts of wellness, recovery, resiliency, and attention to client-driven services. The primary outcome objectives for these services are: decreasing the utilization and length of stay in costly and more restrictive levels of care; reduction in homelessness; reduction in incarceration; increase in school and/or vocation program enrollment; increase in consumer employment and increase support of consumers and their families and caregivers.
FSP programs provide comprehensive and intensive mental health services and employ a “whatever it takes” community-based approach using innovative interventions to help people reach their recovery goals. These services must be available to support clients 24 hours a day, seven (7) days per week and target a length of stay of 18 to 24 months, as an average, for all clients served.
The Performance Measures associated with this Agreement are included in Attachment B.
