The Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) has been working with Shared Visions Consulting over the past few years to write program plans for and provide technical assistance to the new State mandated Child Welfare programs that include the 5 year County Self Assessment, Peer Review, System Improvement Plan (SIP) with annual reports and plan updates, Family Approval Program (RFA), Continuum of Care Reform Initiatives (CCR) and Foster Parent Recruitment Retention and Supports (FPRRS). 

HHSA continues to use Shared Visions Consulting for training of staff in these new programs and will help to track and monitor program outcomes for reporting purposes.

This amendment is for increased professional assistance with ongoing consultation, planning and supervision activities due to the on-going Social Worker Supervisor vacancies.  Provide coaching, mentoring and induction training implementation for all staff.

The contract is for a three year term – July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020.  The not to exceed amount is $280,000 and will be funded through HHSA CWS Federal and Local Realignment funds.  There is no effect on the County General Fund.  This contract will require a budget adjustment in the HHSA budget for this fiscal year.
