SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
This new Mental Health Service Agreement with Casa Pacifica Center for Children and Families ("Casa Pacifica") replaces Agreement A-11450 which expires on June 30, 2012. Casa Pacifica is a campus-based residential center offering a wide range of assessment, crisis care, medical and educational services for neglected, abused and severely emotionally disturbed children. It is also a training center for professionals who wish to keep abreast of the latest interventions and therapeutic techniques. Casa Pacifica has been providing services to Monterey County youth who require the highest level of care to prevent their placement into an inpatient hospital or out-of-state residential or juvenile justice, facilities. Services include individual counseling, family counseling, medication as needed, and other ancillary mental health services as required by the treatment plan. The goals of the program are to reduce inappropriate behavior so youth can return home, be able to enter a lower level of care, and improve academic achievement.
