Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/7/2006
DATE: Tuesday, March 07, 2006
LOG NAME: 50SUSTAIN REFERENCE NO.: **C-21336
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of an Annual Professional Service Contract for System of Care Sustainability
Consultation with Mental Health Connection of Tarrant County
PF
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for $110,000 with
the Mental Health Connection of Tarrant County to provide consultation to sustain the Community Solutions
Wraparound System of Care, effective upon approval and expiring September 29, 2006, with options to
renew for two one-year periods contingent upon receipt of annual funding for the supporting grant.
DISCUSSION:
The goal for the SAMHSA funded initiative 'Children's Voices, Family Choices, Community
Solutions: Building Blocks for Healthy Families," is to create a new way of providing mental health services
for children with severe emotional disturbances. The key component for making this happen is a process
called Wraparound. The goal of Wraparound is to create a collaborative system infrastructure that will
provide individualized, strength-based, child-centered, family-driven services and support for children with
serious emotional disturbances and their families. This will enable children to remain with their families and
not in hospitals or other institutions.
Currently six agencies have provided wraparound services to 213 families through contracts with The City
of Fort Worth as approved by City Council on September 21, 2004, M&C C-20286. These services have
had extremely positive outcomes as shown in the extensive evaluations. Children served through the
Wraparound contracts have demonstrated increased strengths, decreased impairments, dramatic
decreased involvement with law enforcement, significant improvement in school performance, and avoided
institutionalization. Also these and numerous other agencies have made significant gains in adopting the
Wraparound process throughout their agencies.
However, for Wraparound services to be available, the program must be sustained beyond the federal
cooperative agreement and for the philosophy to be further infused several things need to happen through
the proposed contract.
* Continue working with the state to implement Medicaid reimbursement to replace federal funding.
* Work with the six contracted agencies and other stakeholders to adopt the Wraparound process
throughout every service that the agency provides.
* Assist each of the six contracted agencies to find sustainable funding or reimbursement.
The Mental Health Connection (MHC) is the ideal agency to administer this contract due to the agency's
unique position of having most of the community's service providers as members. The MHC has a history
of successful collaboration and has been a champion for systems improvement.
