| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Child and Youth Full Service Partnership (CY/FSP) services and treatment are community centered rather than facility based are patterned upon evidence-based or best practice-based models of treatment incorporating principals of resiliency and recovery. All CY/FSP services meet the MHSA criteria of focusing on incorporating concepts of wellness, recovery and resiliency, with attention to the importance of client-driven services while reducing disparities in access to mental health services and thereby improving outcomes.
These contracted services provide and improve continuity of care and better access to mental health services to SED children and youth under the age of 16 years who are unserved, underserved or inappropriately served and who otherwise lack access to mental health treatment services.
Approval of this amendment with Turning Point Community Programs will further the County’s effort to support community-based services to children and youth by increasing access to services in local communities and prevent higher cost of care from occurring more than necessary, while the current Request for Proposal(s) RFP is in the process of being finalized. The new contract(s) are to be effective September 1, 2018.
