SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
As part of the Monterey County Health Department, Behavioral Health Bureau’s Access and Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) outreach, engagement and mental health programs, the County has an Agreement with the Parenting Connection of Monterey County (PCMC) to meet goals and objectives outlined in the County’s MHSA Plan. Since MHSA revenues are higher than budgeted and these agencies have the capacity to increase services delivered to the community, approval for amending Agreements to increase amount and extending term as appropriate, is being sought.
The PCMC provides free services for County mothers, caregivers, and families to prevent Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders from developing and/or provide early intervention mental health supports. The County currently has a one-year Agreement with PCMC for a current contracted dollar amount of $57,000 which will expire on June 30, 2022. Amendment No. 1 adds funding in the amount of $500,000 and extends the Agreement by one additional fiscal year through June 30, 2024.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2018-2022 Strategic Plan Goal: 3. Ensure access to culturally and linguistically appropriate, customer-friendly, quality health services. It also supports one of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 7. Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care when otherwise unavailable.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The office of the County Counsel and Auditor-Controller have reviewed and approved Amendment No. 1 as to legal form and fiscal provisions, respectively.
