SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County has been operating a Wraparound program since 2002. This family driven program collaborates between many partners. Primary referrals come through the Department of Social Services and the Probation Department. Monterey County Children’s Behavioral Health is a key partner in the provision of Wraparound Monterey County.
Action Council of Monterey County has provided the Administrative Services Function for Wraparound Monterey County for the last seven years. As the values and requirements of the Continuum of Care Reform (CCR) are addressed locally, the need to provide more intensive, individualized and, at times, costly services and supports are needed. Action Council of Monterey County has been a leader in the development of a creative, individualized provider network to meet these needs. Further, the requirement under CCR to end long-term residential care stays and to keep children and youth locally impacts the need for our community to create, support and maintain these services.
Action Council of Monterey County has created a provider network with over 110 providers with access to approximately 80 different services. These services are very individualized to meet the specific need of a family. Historically, the top three services utilized from the Network were Mentoring/Peer Mentoring, Transportation, and Tutoring. Most recently this list has changed to Behavioral Support Specialist, On-Call Crisis Response, and Transportation as the top three services illustrating the acuity of the children/youth served. With these types of services there are also added costs which are being requested through this amendment.
