Treatment and Evaluation Resource Management
Treatment and Evaluation Resource Management (TERM) is a mental
health program under the direction of the County of San Diego Board of
Supervisors and is operated by Optum Public Sector San Diego through a
contract with County of San Diego HHSA Behavioral Health Services
serving CWS or Probation clients and youth involved in the juvenile
justice system with a commitment to improving outcomes for these
clients.
The purpose of the program is to provide independent oversight of mental health services for children in the dependency and delinquency systems; with the mission of providing flexible services that are designed to meet and build upon the unique needs, strengths and potential of each youth and family.
Parents and guardians receiving services through TERM are provided with:

- Psychological/Psychiatric Evaluations as deemed appropriate to address their individual needs, to facilitate a whole family approach to health and wellness.
Optum is responsible for developing, maintaining and contracting a network of TERM providers. Providers offer an array of services in each region and strengthen family and youth connections to neighborhood and local community resources.
