Background

Jefferson Union High School District has operated the Daly City Youth Health Center (DCYHC) for over twelve years. DCYHC serves youth in Pacifica, Daly City, Colma, Brisbane and parts of South San Francisco. DCYHC has been a contract provider of mental health services for north County youth for several years.

 

Discussion

This agreement is being renewed for FY 2004-05 and FY 2005-06. This contractor shall provide mental health services to youth at the Daly City Youth Health Center (DCYHC) and at school campuses in the Jefferson Union High School District campus. These services shall include: assessment, individual therapy, group therapy and counseling, collateral services and family counseling therapy, crisis intervention, case management/brokerage, client centered interagency collaboration, program-related interagency collaboration, and rehabilitation services (e.g., daily living skills).

 

In May 2004 Mental Health Services issued a RFP for the provision of managed care outpatient mental health services through the Mental Health Plan (MHP). DCYHC responded with a proposal to provide mental health services to youth and their families that was reviewed and accepted. These services shall include: assessment and treatment (brief individual, family and group therapy as well as collateral services, including contact with family and other significant service providers).

 

The new agreement incorporates a 1% COLA approved by your board at the September final budget hearings.
