In addition, CCCP has a clinician on staff to provide direct services that include assessment and short term counseling.

CCCP will provide quarterly outcome data reports and collaborate with Monterey County Behavioral Health Bureau (MCBHB) to develop an effective service delivery model that meets the needs of the Latino population in Monterey County. Approval of this proposed three year term Agreement will provide a continuum of care to the population of focus, extend collaboration efforts, and is included in the approved Monterey County Health Department, Behavioral Health Bureau's Mental Health Services Act Innovations Program.
This Agreement contains the County's standard 30-day no cause provision (Section IV,B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D) which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
