THP-Plus in FY 2009-10: Serving Youth in Uncertain Times
The recently completed fiscal year was one of the most challenging yet for THP-Plus, with the program receiving a $5 million budget cut, reducing annual funding from $40.8 million to $35.8 million. Please join us for an information web seminar on Wednesday, September 8th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. to learn about the impact of this reduction on counties, THP-Plus providers and youth participants. This information will be drawn from recently completed 2009-10 THP-Plus Annual Report.
Web seminar participants will include representatives of the California Department of Social Services, who will discuss the impact of the budget reduction and provide the latest information about THP-Plus in the FY 10-11 state budget. Also presenting will be Sara Kimberlin, doctoral candidate at University of California at Berkeley and author of a soon-to-be released policy brief that provide our first-ever statewide outcome data for THP-Plus.
