CONSENT AGENDA
San Benito County Behavioral Health Department (SBCBH) has staff stationed at local schools to provide prevention services on-site. With services provided through the school districts, and services provided through Behavioral Health, having a consistent referral process between all school locations has been difficult to achieve.
This grant program will enable SBCBH to enhance our partnership with the San Benito County Office of Education (SBCOE) to improve our school-based programs. This partnership, via the grant, will expand access to mental health services for children and youth, including campus-based mental health services; and, should facilitate linkages and access to ongoing and sustained services. Through this grant, there will be an emphasis on targeted populations consistent with Welfare Institutions Code, Section 5886.
This population includes those children and youth who are in foster care; those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ); and those who have been expelled or suspended from school funding of this grant will allow for a dedicated SBCOE staff who will review current practice sand establish a uniformed method of referrals and evaluate the need of services at the schools.
This amendment extends the term of the original grant agreement giving the SBCBH additional time to utilize the full amount of the grant funding.
This is a non-monetary grant agreement amendment. The financial terms of the grant will remain the same for a total grant award not to exceed $2,500,000 for the entire term of the grant. The source of the funding is non-general fund allocated to G/L # 228.90.2520.1000.570.002.
