SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Partners For Peace (“P4P”) has been building strong families for a peaceful community for 25 years. P4P provides a continuum of prevention to intervention services for parents, families, and youth. Using an evidence-based/informed family skills training program and parenting training for high-risk (adjudicated, court referred, expelled) youth and their parents, P4P seeks to improve social competencies, parenting skills and the parent-child relationship. This amendment is to add additional services funded by the Mental Health Student Services Act (MHSSA) grant from the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to provide mental health support services within Monterey County public schools. County allocated MHSSA grant funds to provide mental health support services within school by expanding parenting training and education to students and their parents/caregivers as part of the Inter-Connected Systems Framework (ISF).
This work supports the following 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 provisions of health care when otherwise unavailable.
