Recommendation
|
Adopt a resolution authorizing the President of the Board to execute an agreement with the State Department of Mental Health for mental health services for people affected by AIDS.
|
|
|
Background
|
The State Department of Mental Health (DMH) first awarded AIDS funding to San Mateo County Mental Health Services in 1987-88. FY 2004-07 will be the 18th year of this funding. Under this grant, San Mateo County Mental Health Services has received $60,000 annually, in three-year blocks, to provide mental health services to people with AIDS/HIV and others affected by, or at risk of contracting the disease.
|
|
|
Discussion
|
This funding will be used to provide mental health services to clients of the AIDS Program. In May 2004 a Request for Proposals was issued to select a provider of individual and group counseling services. Family and Children Services was the only respondent, and was subsequently awarded the contract. A portion of these funds are used to support psychiatric services provided by Medical Center staff.
|
|
|
This Agreement was not received from the DMH until September 2004.
|
|
|
The following services will be provided: counseling intervention, cultural and ethnic specific services and psychiatric consultation. The grant funding is as follows:
