Background: Sacramento Children’s Home has been providing specialty mental health services for emotionally disturbed minors from El Dorado County for over two years. It is a residential facility providing support 24 hours per day. Minors placed in this facility are not currently equipped to function in a family setting. The goal of treatment is behavioral stabilization and positive connections with adults who are significant in the life of the minor, leading to eventual return to a family setting. This is achieved by use of intensive therapy and behavior modification techniques.
Reason for Recommendation:This agreement will allow for continued use of Sacramento Children’s Home’s facilities for emotionally disturbed minors. This agreement will cover the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009.
