Flexible Integrated Treatment & Therapeutic Behavioral Services RFA MHC/038

The Sacramento County Department of Health Services, Behavioral Health Services (BHS) is seeking qualified providers to deliver specialty mental health services in the Flexible Integrated Treatment (FIT) and Therapeutic Behavioral Services (TBS) programs for children, youth, and families experiencing moderate to high behavioral health needs. The selected providers will help transform Sacramento County’s children’s behavioral health system into one that is equitable, integrated, and rooted in early intervention. The services will be delivered at a level of intensity guided by functional indicators identified through the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool and other clinical assessments. • The FIT program will provide EPSDT services for children and youth who meet Sacramento County Medical Necessity criteria for serious mental health conditions/serious emotional disturbance with moderate to severe functional impairment. • The TBS program will provide short-term, intensive behavioral support for children and youth with serious emotional disturbance, based on applied behavioral analysis principles. • The selected providers will be expected to tailor services to local community needs, strengthen natural supports, and maintain close collaboration with system partners including schools, child welfare, and primary care. • The goal of this project is to create a sustainable network of family-centered programs that deliver measurable outcomes, reducing psychiatric hospitalizations, supporting housing and school stability, and increasing caregiver capacity.
