Section I. Description of Services

 

Services: Contractor will provide intensive, home and community‑based mental health and wraparound services to children within the Lansing School District with severe emotional disturbance (SED) or demonstrating other "at risk" behaviors.  This initiative targets "at risk" children in middle and elementary schools who fail to make "adequate yearly progress" as defined by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

 

Through its Family Guidance Service (FGS) and Wraparound Staff, Contractor will perform the following services:

 

1.  FGS will pre‑screen telephonically to assess likelihood of meeting SED criteria.

2.  FGS will perform an intake assessment within 14 days of referral to the program to ensure       SED criteria is met.

3.  FGS will assign a qualified, credentialed therapist and wraparound facilitator (the Team) to        each accepted case.

4.  Within 14 days of the intake assessment, home‑based treatment services and family              wraparound services will be initiated.

5.  Within 30 days of the intake, the FGS Team will develop a treatment plan and wraparound plan.

6.  Treatment and wraparound activities will be implemented drawing from a wide variety of         CMH and community resources and approaches to therapy.

 

Referral Process: Children meeting "at risk" criteria may be referred by DHS or the schools by calling CMH’s Children’s Services Access number, providing general demographic data and a description of the situation.  If the CMH staff member determines that the child is likely to meet SED criteria, an intake assessment is authorized.  School staff will assist the child’s parent/guardian to call CMH to schedule an intake assessment.   

 

Section 2. Compensation:

 

Ingham DHS  shall compensate Contractor on an all‑inclusive case rate basis of $12,127 per case.  For the period October 1, 2005 ‑ September 30, 2006, services under this program shall be limited to 25 cases.
