RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve the attached supplemental budget in the amount of $51,800 For FY 2023-2024 for the Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health Fund 1175, Budget Unit 454 (4/5 Vote Required).
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Public Health Funds (1175)
DISCUSSION:
On May 23, 2023, your Board accepted a Gun Safety, Injury, and Violence Prevention (GSIVP) Community Grant from the American Academy of Pediatrics in the amount of $15,000.00. This grant is allowing DHHS - Public Health to expand on suicide prevention and lethal means safety efforts to focus on a youth audience. The program intended to include the allocation in the county budget process for FY 2023-24, however, the inclusion of these funds was overlooked. This budget supplement would add $15,000 to the budget to be expended toward this project.
Additionally, on August 8, 2023, your Board accepted a grant agreement with the California Department of Public Health - Injury and Violence Prevention Branch for implementation of the Youth Suicide Reporting and Crisis Response Pilot Program. $35,000 of this grant is earmarked for activities to be performed by Public Health staff. This grant was accepted after the county budget process for FY 2023-24 and also requires a supplement to the budget to incur costs associated with activity delivery. This grant will allow DHHS - Behavioral Health and DHHS - Public Health to work in cooperation to identify and address the gaps in existing local suicide reporting methods and accompanying crisis response efforts. Public Health will use its portion of the funds to organize a Youth Suicide Prevention Summit. The Summit would bring prevention, intervention, and postvention expertise to Humboldt County that is evidence and/or practice-based and that features local youth voices, ultimately improving suicide prevention activities targeted directly to Humboldt County’s youth.
