In January 2017, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) issued a Request for Proposals for community-based partnerships to provide substance use prevention and program evaluation. YLI submitted a proposal and was chosen to provide these services.
On October 31, 2017, the Chief of San Mateo County Health approved an amendment to the agreement for a cost of living increase effective July 1, 2017, increasing the maximum amount of the agreement by $2,325 to $530,711, with no change to the agreement term.
On February 27, 2018, the Board approved an amendment to the agreement for a marijuana education and tobacco prevention campaign, increasing the amount of the agreement by $60,000 to $590,711.
On December 4, 2018, the Board approved an amendment to the agreement for AOD services and tobacco prevention services, extending the term of the agreement through June 30, 2020 and increasing the maximum obligation by $478,250 to $1,068,961.
On August 6, 2019, the Board approved an amendment to the agreement for a Tech Suite, a behavioral health technology solution that includes apps with core features such as peer chat groups, one-on-one online peer support, and personalized avatar support, increasing the maximum obligation by $300,000 to $1,368,961.
DISCUSSION:
Through this amendment, YLI continues to provide: 1) FNL/CL services to a Roadmap Chapter required by the Department of Health Care Services as well as other youth engagement groups using the FNL/CL principles; 2) a youth tobacco prevention group in partnership with local elected officials and housing residents/associations to implement a smoke-free housing policy; and 3) AOD prevention services to reduce the impact of alcohol and other drugs through prevention education and collaboration. Additionally, the Coastside Collaborative Co-Chair has been added to strengthen service collaboration and provide coordination and integration in the Coastside region of the County. Finally, the Tech Suite has been replaced by the Help@Hand Peer-led Outreach and Engagement to support transition aged youth in the use of Help@Hand web-based solutions to engage, educate and provide access to behavioral health services when needed.
The resolution contains the County’s standard provisions allowing amendments of the County’s fiscal obligation by a maximum of $25,000 (in aggregate).
