body
BACKGROUND:
Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD) operates the Daly City Youth Health Center (DCYHC), which provides youth with outpatient mental health services in Pacifica, Daly City, Colma, Brisbane, and parts of South San Francisco. JUHSD provides mental health services to all Medi-Cal eligible individuals through outpatient service centers and a network of community agencies and independent providers, enabling integrated mental health services to be provided in a health care setting.
DISCUSSION:
Through this agreement, JUHSD will provide mental health services to DCYHC youth and other JUHSD school campuses. In addition, the contractor will provide outpatient mental health services, authorized by the County’s Mental Health Plan (MHP) to Medi-Cal eligible clients, covered by the Healthy Families Healthy Kids Program, for whom the MHP has assumed responsibility. Lastly, JUHSD will be the lead and fiscal agency for the community-based partnership by providing alcohol and other drug (AOD) related prevention services in the Northwest Community Service Area, while continuing to reduce access to and availability of AOD to youth.
The Resolution contains the County’s standard provision allowing amendment of the County’s fiscal obligations by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
The agreement and Resolution have been reviewed and approved by County Counsel as to form. This agreement is coming to your Board late due to prolonged contract negotiations and is on the Continuing Resolution.
Approval of this agreement contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by providing mental health services to youth. BHRS provides a range of services to promote wellness and recovery and to support consumers remaining in the lowest possible level of care. The provision of outpatient mental health services is one established level of care. It is anticipated that 99% of clients who receive services through this agreement with JUHSD will be maintained at a current or lower level of care.
