Summary of Request:
FIRST 5 Mendocino was selected from a Request for Proposal process (SS-17-001-RFP) to provide Differential Response (DR) services to the greater Ukiah area (Ukiah, Talmage, Calpella and Redwood Valley), Hopland and Anderson Valley (Boonville and Philo) for an average of 15 cases at a time and up to 50 cases a year. DR allows for a broader set of responses to reports of possible child abuse or neglect, including prevention and early intervention, engaging families to address issues of safety and risk, and improving access to services. FIRST 5 Mendocino will receive referrals from Family & Children’s Services with low to moderate risk and will engage with the families, conduct needs assessments, develop service plans tailored to meet the needs of the family and provide case management for up to 6 months with the goal of preventing the likelihood of child abuse and neglect, recurrence of maltreatment and/or the likelihood of re-entry to foster care.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
