Request for Proposals (RFP) for Behavioral Health Services for Sonoma County Youth

The County of Sonoma is pleased to invite you to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Behavioral Health Services for Sonoma County Youth.

The Department of Health Services is seeking Community Based Organizations (CBO) to join the County’s Mental Health Plan (MHP) to provide Early Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) and Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS) to children and youth ages 0-20, who meet criteria for Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) as per the California Welfare and Institutions Code.

The County will operate Full Service Partnership (FSP) programs designed to provide an array of intensive community-based services to children with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) who are at risk of placement in institutional care or removal from their home or foster home. Sonoma County Behavioral Health staff will lead FSP teams, and will access additional supportive services from CBOs as necessary to meet the unique needs of children, youth and families. Children who have SED, but do not require FSP services, will be served by CBOs which will provide a variety of specialty mental health services to support each child, youth and family’s treatment goals.
