Role of Other Collaborators. Describe the active collaboration among the following participants in the operation of the RBS program: • The other private non-profit(s) • Other public agencies/departments: mental health, alcohol and drug programs, education, juvenile justice, courts, tribes, etc. • Children, youth and families We have two levels of collaborative involvement in the RBS system. First, there is the San Bernardino County RBS Steering Committee which includes youth and family and advocate representatives, a representative from County Superintendant of School’s Xxxxxx Youth Services, a SW representative, VTC/VCSS representatives, a probation officer, a mental health case worker, a Regional Center administrator, a representative from a local FFA, staff from local psychiatric hospitals, staff persons from the Human Services Program Development and Research and Evaluation divisions, an Independent Living Program representative, a representative from the San Bernardino County’s California Permanency for Youth Project pilot, and a representative from the San Bernardino County Family to Family Initiative, itself an interagency group of the community’s family support agencies. Additional members will be added as needed during implementation such as representatives from the school district in which the RBS facility will operate. This group currently meets on a monthly basis and will meet quarterly during operation of the pilot. This group will 1) review data from the RBS Oversight Committee (below), CMS and C-IV data, and RBS evaluation measures, 2) assess use of the program by the county, and 3) propose solutions to any emergent issues. Second, we will have the RBS Oversight Committee, a subcommittee of the Steering Committee, which will meet as needed to conduct utilization review and management, ensure eligibility requirements are being met and assess whether there is an appropriate rate of flow of enrollees throughout the arc of care. The Oversight Committee consists of a parent partner (shared responsibility of placing agencies), a peer advocate, key staff from each of the three placing agencies (such as a program manager and a staff analyst) and a representative from Xxxxxx.
