CONTRACT FOR SERVICES
This contract is between the City of Nashua, Division of Public Health & Community Services (“DPHCS”)
at 229 Main Street, Nashua, NH 03060 and The Youth Council (“Contractor”), with a place of business at
112 W. Pearl Street, Nashua, NH 03060.
CONTRACT PERIOD:
This contract is in effect from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
The Contractor provides a comprehensive array of individual, group, and family intervention services for
the youth of Nashua, ages 10 through 17 who are engaging in high-risk behavior, but have not yet
committed an arrest-able offense. Actions may include aggressive behavior, refusing to follow rules at
home, sneaking out at night, and/or skipping school or causing disruptions in school. At the same time,
these youth are ideal targets for gang involvement, sexual exploitation and other victimization based on
their lack of maturity, family support and/or mental health needs.
The following set of comprehensive services shall be provided (collectively, the “CIC Program Services”):
1) Conduct assessments using nationally-approved tools; develop Intervention Plan with parent(s) and
youth. Transition case from clinical team (funded through insurance whenever possible) to case
management team notifying community partners as warranted.
2) Provide case management to review progress and implement Intervention Plan. Assess
client/family’s progress with Intervention Plan. Revise Intervention Plan as necessary.
3) Evaluate program participation/completion and review next steps. Additional referrals will be made
as warranted by presenting issues, such as to the local mental health center.
4) Track data around performance measures and outcomes to improve the quality of the program.
Report to lead partners and agency board of directors.
REFERRALS:
Community partners currently refer families to Contractor for assistance, including Nashua Police,
Probation & Parole, Nashua School District and local organizations. When parents call Contractor for
general services through the Community Intervention Collaborative, they will be asked a brief series of
questions to determine whether this program may be appropriate. Contractor assessment staff will
complete the Enrollment Notification Form, which will be forwarded to the Nashua Division of Public
Health & Community Services (DPHCS) for review and approval of any client referred to and
participating in the program.
