SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Chamberlain’s Youth Services provides mental health, medication support, case management, crisis intervention, and residential services for five Monterey County youth in accordance with client’s individual treatment plan and other identified needs. The goals of the program are to reduce inappropriate behavioral and/or psychiatric symptoms to a level of care whereby the youth can return home or move to a lower level of care. This Amendment No. 3 extends the term of the Agreement for one additional fiscal year to maintain mental health and residential service availability to Monterey County youth in need of this level of specialized care.
This Agreement contains the County’s standard 30-day “no cause” provision (Section IV, B) and an additional defunding provision (Section IV, D), which provides the County the ability to amend or terminate the Agreement in the event of a reduction and/or termination of funding.
This work supports the following Monterey County Health Department 2018-2022 Strategic Plan initiative: 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 provisions of health care when otherwise unavailable.
