SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Seneca Family of Agencies dba Kinship Center provides mental health services with four (4) separate programs (D’Arrigo Outpatient Clinic, Adoption Preservation, Trauma Services and the King City Children’s Clinic). The programs serve seriously emotionally disturbed children who are in foster care, require aid to adoption, or are in adoption preservation status. Kinship Center continues to provide mental health services to Monterey County and out-of- County Medi-Cal eligible youth, and their families through an array of programs. These services address the impacts of adoption on a child and his or her family and address permanency issues. Services are coordinated and designed to address an individual’s mental health needs and aim to reduce the possibility of future residential care, out-of-home placement, and/or hospitalization.
This Amendment No. 3 adds a new delivery site under the D’Arrigo Children’s Clinic program and provides a four (4%) percent rate increase for all the Kinship Center program components for FY 2015-16.
