| Approve second amendment to agreement No. 2013-0056 with CommuniCare Health Centers, Inc. to increase funding by $102,148 for the term of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018 for Perinatal Day Treatment Services for Child Welfare Services clients. |

| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Perinatal Day Treatment (PNDT) services provide intensive day care habilitation substance abuse treatment developed to meet gender-specific needs of pregnant/parenting women who have young children. The goal of this program is to foster strong bonds between parent and child and to reunify families that have been separated by out-of-home placement of children. Individual and group counseling is provided, with a strong emphasis on parenting, building positive relationships, drug education, health and well-being. This program also serves clients with co-occurring mental health disorders. The program supports and assists women in meeting family reunification requirements as mandated.
The program provides services for children as well. On-site child development program services are offered for children ages 0-5 whose mothers are enrolled in the program. The children are assessed for development needs and/or delays. The children receive support to enhance their self-esteem, improve their emotional and physical development and stimulate growth and awareness.
A variety of evidence-based and cognitive behavioral curriculum are offered including Nurturing Parenting and Seeking Safety. In addition, HHSA will be working and coordinating with CommuniCare on tracking program outcomes.
PNDT services are funded with Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) dollars. PSSF funding must meet program requirements through the County Self-Assessment and System Improvement Plan components of the California Child and Family Services Review, as well as submittal of the Child Abuse Prevention Intervention Treatment Program/Community Based Child Abuse Prevention Program/PSSF Annual Report. Due to a slight increase in the FY1617 funding, HHSA must increase spending to satisfy program guidelines.
The term of this amendment is July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2018. The annual expenditure for this agreement is not to exceed $51,074 effective fiscal year 16/17. The total expenditure under this amendment will not exceed $303,444. The slight increase will allow HHSA to meet an increase service need for clients.
HHSA will review all PSSF funded services when revising the System Improvement Plan and ensure that services are in line with County-identified needs at which time the services may be submitted for bid.
Approval of this amendment will allow continuation of PNDT services as well as receive new referrals from HHSA. |
