[Contractor Name]

Butte On-Site Counseling Services

Exhibit A Scope of Work

Service Type: On-Site Counseling Services

Service Location: Butte Center – 6640 Steiffer Road, Magalia, CA 95954

[Contractor Name] now referred to as the “Contractor” agrees to provide the California Conservation Corps now referred to as “CCC” with On-Site Counseling Services. Contractor will provide all labor and materials to complete services.

General Summary:

The On-Site Counseling Program is a means of providing individual counseling, group counseling and staff consultation for Corpsmembers 18-25 years of age located at 6640

Steiffer Road, Magalia CA 95954.

The California Conservation Corps is a work ethic program with a mission: the development of young people, and the conservation and enhancement of the state's natural resources. The On-

Site Counseling Program is a component of a comprehensive Corpsmember development program which includes; programs in work learn, literacy, career development, conservation awareness, community activism and basic education. The On-Site Counseling program began in

May of 1990. These counseling services are an effort to assist Corpsmembers, who are age 18-

29, in exploring how they can contribute to their personal development.

In coordination with the service district Corpsmember Development staff (CD), the counselor provides counseling to Corpsmembers. Growing from that core element, the on-site counselor provides an expanded array of services such as; individual and group counseling, support groups, education and personal development classes/workshops, peer leadership development, peer counseling, staff consultation and training, identifying and engaging Corpsmembers into the counseling program and referral to community services. In other words, the on-site counselor will work in conjunction with the CD and center staff in developing the overall design of the center on-site counseling program.

It is expected that the counselor will address Corpsmember problems on three levels: crisis intervention, case management, and education. Due to the limited amount of counseling hours available, it would be impractical to use a counselor's time to provide Corpsmembers with lengthy and intensive therapy. Therefore, the approach needs to be one of short-term crisis counseling, education and linking Corpsmembers with community resources for longer term care, and education/support activities, with the Contractor monitoring progress.

The contractor is expected to provide the following:

Provide 0 - 3 hours of professional services per week, including individual and group counseling, as well as staff consultation, for young adults between the ages of 18 and 29 (Hours of professional services provided each week fluctuate and can exceed 4 hours, depending on the hourly rate and available counseling funds and possibly during fire or spike season or other declared emergencies no hours.) Hourly charges shall not include travel time.

Service breakdown as follows:

75% Individual counseling on anger management, stress reduction, depression, cultural diversity, alcohol, tobacco, and other drug related issues, etc. (this includes Corpsmember referrals to community resources when necessary);

10% Group counseling when appropriate;

10% Staff consultation and/or training;

5% Report writing and statistics.

Contractor shall be expected to provide program data to the CCC on a monthly basis, using the

CCC Counseling Program Individual Contact Report (Exhibit A) and the CCC Counseling Program

Group Contact Report (Exhibit B).

Contractor will be available to work with CCC staff to seek bilingual services (Spanish and English) to accommodate non-English speaking Corpsmembers.

Contractor will provide a time-based, visual reference of management referred Corpsmembers to note progress or non-progress of counseling efforts regarding the referred issue. This will not contain any patient confidential information.

CCC Policies Related to Corpsmembers

Contractor agrees that he/she shall be required to abide by all CCC policies regarding staff relationships with Corpsmembers including the Fraternization, Nepotism, Sexual Harassment and

EEO/Discrimination Policies.
