Summary of Request:
Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (BHRS) is seeking approval of the proposed retroactive Agreement with Redwood Community Services, Inc. DBA Redwood Community Crisis Center (RC3) to provide 24/7 crisis response, outreach, and engagement to children, youth, and young adults in Mendocino County who are experiencing crisis episodes. When applicable, services are funded through Medi-Cal and/or the Mental Health Services Act Community Services and Supports. Many times, youth may be uninsured, and unable to apply for Medi-Cal due to immigration issues, etc. Through the proposed Agreement, RC3 will serve qualified youth, including Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) up to their 25th birthday, and youth with First Episode Psychosis (FEP), regardless of ability to pay.
Through this Agreement, RC3 will offer crisis services to 100% of clients at assessment with a focus on stabilization and linkage to providers within the community, and will provide 24/7 crisis response, crisis assessment and stabilization services to all FEP clients in a timely manner throughout all of Mendocino County. Additionally, RC3 will provide 60 days of in-house rehabilitation and therapeutic services to FEP crisis clients, and referrals and/or linkages to appropriate community resources for long-term, post-crisis stabilization to FEP clients who consent.
BHRS began processing this Agreement with RC3 in May 2024. Partway through the process, State funding amounts were updated, requiring BHRS to update the Exhibits and total amount for the proposed Agreement. The revised Agreement then rerouted through the approval process in early June 2024, during which time it became retroactive, with a start date of July 1, 2024. This contract is retroactive for 8 days, and no invoices shall be authorized pending approval of amendment for services from July 1 2024 to June 30, 2025.
