Thriving Residents

Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Yolo County K-12 School Partnership Program is to expand the current, and more limited array of services and supports available to students, and to integrate mental health services into the school systems by utilizing an integrated systems model and multi-tiered systems of support. The goal of this integrated approach is to blend resources, training, systems, data, and practices to improve outcomes for all children and youth. The Program also emphasizes, prevention, early identification, and intervention of the social, emotional, and behavior needs of students, as well as supports outcomes around preventing the development of mental health challenges in children of all ages, improved linkages to mental health services for children and their families, improved mental health wellness, school engagement, and personal, social, and community stability. The primary goal is to ensure that all school-age youth in Yolo County can access mental health services in a safe, comfortable environment that is familiar to them through an improved school-based service delivery system.

To expedite fully executed agreements, HHSA requests the Board the Supervisors to authorize the Procurement Manager to execute the resulting provider agreements.
 
Performance Measures will be included in the individual provider agreements.

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)

County Counsel will approve each Agreement as to form.
