body
BACKGROUND
Napa County’s Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) currently has an existing Agreement No. 190134C with Shaunna Edwards, LCSW, to provide Field Based Training (FBT), Secondary Trauma Support (STS), and clinical group supervision to HHSA employees. Approval of this agreement replaces the existing agreement in order to eliminate the FBT deliverable and include a provision for individual clinical supervision. HHSA offers clinical supervision, per California State Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) requirements, to eligible Master’s degree staff earning clinical hours toward licensure as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW), or Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). Adding this service will allow HHSA to develop and retain skilled licensed practitioners to support the County’s workforce needs.
Requested Action:
1. Terminate Agreement No. 190134C with Shaunna Edwards, LCSW, for a contract maximum of $75,400 per Fiscal Year; and
2. Approve and authorize Agreement No. 250203B with Shaunna Edwards, LCSW, for a contract maximum of $80,200 for Fiscal Year 2024-2025, and each subsequent renewal.
