The (re)MIND program is an evidence-based treatment that identifies psychosis at the earliest possible point to reduce the impact of psychosis on the individual and their family. (Re)MIND has shown to have dramatic improvement reducing crises, avoiding hospitalizations, improving functional capacity, promoting school/workforce participation, and engaging youth and families. This Amendment No. 6 is retroactive to July 1, 2022, due to prolonged contract and rate negotiations. The provider recently informed the County of Monterey that invoices will be forthcoming, requiring the need for this Agreement to provide payment to Felton Institute.
This Agreement contains the County of Monterey’s standard 30-day “no cause” provision (Section IV, B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D), which provides the County of Monterey the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
