Turning Point Leads the Way...
... in offering consumer-driven mental health services, with an emphasis on
treatment choice and self empowerment. Programs aid adults, youth aged 18 25, children and families. Turning Point's goal is to provide services to people
with disabilities and their families, including mental health services, support,
employment, housing and advocacy.
Commitment to Diversity
Turning Point‘s members are as diverse as the communities we live in. Different races, ethnicities, language groups and cultures are represented and respected. Nineteen languages other than English are spoken by current staff including Spanish, Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese, Mien, Tagalog, Thai, Chinese,
Russian, Romanian, German, Italian, Hindi, Kreo, Ukranian, Dutch, Mandarin,
Temre, American Sign Language, and Tongan.
Some members come to Turning Point from institutions; others have been
homeless. Many of Turning Point‘s members are children with parents and
families who also become part of the Turning Point community.
Members find great empathy and understanding from Turning Point staff,
some of whom have had their own experiences struggling with mental illness.
Turning Point leads the way in providing meaningful opportunities for mental
health consumers to help run its programs, offering hope with examples of their
own
4 recovery.
Turning Point‘s Principles
“Whatever It Takes”
At Turning Point, programs are based on the
assumption that staff and members will do “whatever
it takes” to bring services to the people who need and
want them. Turning Point deals with problems as they
arise. If one of Turning Point’s members experiences a
problem, we work with them to identify a solution.
“Child, Family and Member Driven
Services”
At Turning Point, members are treated with dignity
and respect. They’re not patients; they’re not
numbers; and they’re not diagnoses. Turning Point
begins with the belief that all people have a right to full
membership in society. That means that Turning Point
doesn’t force anyone to do anything. Treatment goals
are based on what members hope to accomplish.
Members, staff, and families work together to find
ways to achieve those goals.
“Putting it All Together”
Turning Point measures success based on what
members say about their lives. Have members met
their goals? Have they received the services they
need? Turning Point programs are intended to fit together to provide members with the tools they need to
build the lives they want. When members and their
families feel that their lives have improved, Turning
Point has been successful.

A Vision for the Future—Mental health is fundamental to health and
human functioning. Yet much more is known about mental illness
than about mental health. Mental illnesses are real health conditions
that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior—
all mental, behavioral, and psychological symptoms mediated by the
brain. Mental illnesses exact a staggering toll on millions of individuals, as well as on their families and communities and our Nation as a
whole. Appropriate treatment can alleviate, if not cure, the symptoms and associated disability of mental illness. With proper treatment, the majority of people with mental illness can return to productive and engaging lives. There is no “one size fits all” treatment;
rather, people can choose the type of treatment that best suits them
from the diverse forms of treatment that exist.

MISSION
Transitional Support Services is a non-profit community based program, which strives to comprehensively support, educate, and empower regional center consumers, adults who have a developmental
disability with a co-occurring psychiatric disability.
The TSS philosophy is predicated on
the belief that many individuals residing in restrictive environments can successfully transition into the community
provided they receive a comprehensive
array of intensive support services.
The services provided must respond to
the individual‘s expressed preference
for housing, employment, socialization,
education, etc. To promote the success of each individual‘s efforts at living in their chosen social environment,
it is imperative that the support offered
be flexible and adaptable to ever
changing life circumstances.

aspect of the program is that more than 50% of
the employees are themselves recovering mental health recipients and can assist through their
own experiences, strength, and hope.

Frequent Asked Questions
FAQ‘s
HOW DOES TURNING POINT HELP THE MENTALLY ILL?
Turning Point's mission is to provide services to people with disabilities and their families, including mental health
services, support, employment housing and advocacy. To that end, Turning Point maintains its prime focus of
support in three areas:
Adults with serious and persistent mental illness, developmentally disabled adults, and families & children dealing
with mental illness in their lives.
The cornerstone of Turning Point's services and, indeed, its core value system is derived from working with
formally institutionalized mental health consumers. Prior to 1988, California institutionalized many of its severely
and persistently mentally ill adults who were not fortunate enough to have private insurance. Turning Point took a
leading role in developing an Integrated Service Agency which specialized in taking adults out of the locked mental
health facilities throughout the State and integrate them back into our community. Turning Point ISA is one of the
most successful programs of this nature with in the State, if not the Country.
Turning Point is committed to helping people with psychiatric and emotional disabilities to achieve the goals they
have set for themselves. This is accomplished through a number of programs provided by Turning Point:
Integrated Service Agency (Sacramento and Modesto): This corner-stone program provides services to the
formally institutionalized severely and persistently mentally ill adults. With intensive 24-hour wrap around services,
the Turning Point ISA provides these consumers with tools necessary to realize the goals they have set for
themselves. These "wrap-around" services include service coordinators who visit members in their homes, assist
with housing and recreational needs and is de-signed to promote self-care and assist people in moving towards
their independence. The ISA features highly competent medical teams and drop-in centers with a professional and
caring staff. The philosophy of the ISA is to treat members with respect, listen to their preferences and appreciate
their individualism, empowering members so that they can lead productive lives, while taking an active role in their
recovery.
Regional Support Team: This service provides clinical mental health services to 1,500 persistently mentally ill
adults. Turning Point RST serves those clients who are in danger of ending up in on the street, in emergency
rooms, or requiring intervention by law enforcement. By focusing on the unique needs of these consumers, the
community puts its money where it can do the most good.
Employment Services: Turning Point has limited employment services which provide personal, vocational and
social adjustment services to targeted clients. Our goal is to develop in each client, the appropriate work related
behavior necessary for the acquisition of employment and eventual retention of the job. Hygiene, grooming,
behavior management, communication skills and mobility are key elements. Additionally, with the provision of
supported employment services including job coaching, these individuals increase their opportunity to choose,
obtain and retain paid employment at prevailing wages in the community.
Crisis Residential Programs: This program provides immediate, temporary residential placement for adults who
have become suicidal, critically depressed or other-wise psychiatrically incapacitated. It provides an alternative to
placement in the Sacramento County Health Treatment Center.
Pathways to Success After Homelessness: Turning Point's Pathways has been in existence since 2007. This
program seeks to bridge the gap in mental health resources to the homeless adults and families with children.
Pathways activity occurs in the community with aggressive outreach to homeless mentally ill adults, attempting to
get them off the streets, from under the bridges, out of the back alleys and domiciled wherever possible. Services
include psychiatric (medication), counseling (including addiction counseling) and case management.

Frequent Asked Questions
FAQ‘s
WHAT IS A DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY?
According to the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (DD Act):
A "developmental disability" is a severe, chronic disability of a person five years of age or older which
is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental or physical impairments;
is manifested before the person attains age twenty-two; is likely to continue indefinitely; and; results in substantial
functional limitations in three or more of the following areas of major life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive
language, learning, mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living, and economic self-sufficiency, and;
reflects the person's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic care, treatment, or
other services which are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated, (except that
such term, when applied to infants and young children means individuals from birth to age 5, inclusive, who have
substantial developmental delay or specific congenital or acquired conditions with a high probability of resulting in
developmental disabilities if services are not provided).
Examples of developmental disabilities include children and adults with a wide range of diagnoses, including mental
retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, spinal cord injury and severe head injury, so long as the condition began before
age 22 and therefore affected the person's development.
This definition is taken from the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (DD Act), etc.
HOW DOES TURNING POINT HELP THE DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED?
Turning Point provides a number of six-bed residential facilities for adults who are "dually diagnosed" with
developmental and psychiatric disabilities. Clients in these facilities come directly from State Developmental
Centers, are having trouble in other placements, or are severely affected by both their institutionalization and
developmental disabilities. Turning Point also serves adults with autism. Families of four original clients
spearheaded the effort to begin these state-funded program, raising money to get it off the ground.
WHERE DOES TURNING POINT GET ITS MONEY?
Turning Point will receive approximately $24,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 in operating funds
from services provided in seven counties of Northern California. 84% of the funding is derived from the counties
themselves, which are funded by the State of California and the federal government. Sacramento County is by far
the largest contractor at 56%, Stanislaus County provides 10%, and the remaining 5 counties make up the other
18% of Turning Points restricted operating revenue. 16% of operating revenue comes from unrestricted sources,
primarily Alta California Regional Center, but also through special trainings and other services. An extremely generous in-kind donation of a home in Davis, California added donation revenue of over $1,000,000.
WHAT PORTION OF TURNING POINT'S REVENUE GOES TOWARDS ADMINISTRATION?
Turning Point's management and administration expenses were 12%.
HOW IS TURNING POINT MANAGED?
Turning Point is successfully managed by an educated Board of Directors, a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief
Operations Officer, and a Chief Financial Officer who utilize their expertise to advance TPCP‘s ability to provide
service. With Administrative support through a Director of Human Resources, Director of Logistics, and MIS
Department Managers, our management team supports TPCP‘s mission and goals using extensive experience and
knowledge. TPCP‘s programs are overseen by Adult and Children‘s Directors through individual Program Directors
all with a broad range of skill and backgrounds in mental health.

Frequent Asked Questions
FAQ‘s
WHAT HAPPENS TO TURNING POINT CLIENTS AFTER THEY GET OUT OF THEIR PROGRAMS? DO THEY
GRADUATE?
Clients do graduate to a lower level of care. When they have remained stable in housing and medications and they
agree to be transferred, they transition to services where they will receive medication support and case management at a less intensive level. Clients dictate what happens upon discharge. From the time they‘re admitted, clients
are encouraged to develop a discharge plan. Many return to their homes, some go to board and cares or room and
boards. Some chose to be homeless. They utilize shelters or live in hotels. All clients are encouraged to follow up
with other providers or are given appropriate referrals for medication supports. Clients are also encouraged to utilize
our after-care component.
Yes, clients who complete their individual programs graduate. We have a ―marble ceremony‖ to acknowledge it.
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP TURNING POINT?
Your contribution of time or funds is most welcome and appreciated. Turning Point is a non-profit organization and is
supported by government funding, grants, and support from the community. Due to budget issues, there is always
concern. However, we continue to strive to put the customer first and any additional resources are of great benefit to
that goal and our mission. In certain instances, we may be able to offer tours of our facilities to provide an inside
look at what we have accomplished and continue to achieve. Volunteers: We have a screening process for volunteer work through our HR department. Please contact the HR Manager at (916) 364-8395 if you have the ability to
support with your time. It would be helpful to know in advance what type of volunteer support you would prefer, or
what type of services you would like to offer. For financial assistance toward our community programs, please specify which program you would like to support. We would be happy to assist with designating which program has the
most need. For contribution of funds, please contact the Chief Executive Officer at (916) 364-8395.
IF TPCP DID NOT EXIST, WOULD THE CLIENTS RECEIVING SERVICES FROM IT REQUIRE OTHER SERVICES THAT WOULD BE MORE COSTLY TO THE COMMUNITY?
Mental Health Services: The clients at the CRP would be hospitalized since there are no other programs in the locale that provide an alternative to hospitalization. Hospitalization is always more costly. (CRP clients currently need
24 hours 7 day a week support services). Finally, many Adult Mental Health and developmentally disabled clients
would not receive services and would require services from the more costly community services of law enforcement
and the treatment centers. It would also greatly impact the county‘s budgets, as service cost per client per day at a
hospital is approximately twice that of the CRPs. At the ESP, mental health counseling and wrap-around services
focus on employment. Clients would have to seek assistance from the private sector or utilize vocational rehabilitation services, which would compromise the goals of increased employment, as these programs do not work effectively for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. If the RST were not in existence, the 1500 plus clients would have
to receive services from other community clinics or primary care facilities. These clients would ‗fall through the
cracks‘ and end up in the hospital, which is more costly.
DD Services: The clients with developmental disabilities could decompensate to the point of needing state hospitals,
board and care placement, and one-on-one support. These alternatives are not the most viable options because in
general this clientele has not proven successful without structure and support.
Children’s Services: The TBS program addresses specific target behaviors that jeopardize a child‘s current residential placement and aid in transition to a lower level of placement. Without TBS, clients would be placed in group
homes that are at level 12-14 or a locked facility for a longer period of time, placed in a higher level of care than the
child‘s current level of placement, or would perhaps require a locked facility or psychiatric hospitalization. These
placements are far more costly to the community/society than TBS services. A primary goal of the FOCUS program
is to avoid the placement of children in psychiatric hospitals, residential placements, intensive foster care place-
62
Frequent Asked Questions
FAQ‘s
ments, and to avoid involvement with the criminal justice department. All the services listed above have a higher
cost than TBS and FOCUS services, not only monetarily but in terms of family health and stability as well.
WITHOUT THIS PROGRAM, WHO WOULD PROVIDE THE SERVICES, AND IN WHAT SETTINGS?
Mental Health Services: Medication stabilization and support services would have to be provided by a variety of
programs and hospitals. For those adults receiving wrap-around services, similar services to those offered at the
ISA‘s 24 hours/7 days a week wrap-around services, hospitalization or placement at Skilled Nursing Facilities would
be necessary. It is difficult to determine who would provide these services. These services would most likely be provided in numerous settings, from mental health, county/state run facilities at differing levels, to private settings that
would be willing to expand the programs. The potential cost is incalculable. Finally, the county would have to provide services for the 1500 clinic clients currently being served at TPCP‘s RST program.
DD Services: Clients residing in homes would have transferred to other Adult Residential Facilities for DD/MI or autistic clients in the community. The medically fragile clients and those with difficult psychiatric problems would likely
be institutionalized.
Children’s Services: Children would require medication and therapeutic services for themselves and their families.
These services might be provided at a school setting (family issues do no always get addressed and resources may
not be available). Some of these needs would have to be directed through HMO, private pay, or Victim of Crime.
Ultimately, families may go without help for significant periods before being provided with services from other providers. These clients may be referred to less intensive services that would not provide all the needed services, resulting in the potential decline of emotional and/or behavioral health of the client and possible placement in non-familial
settings.
ARE THERE OTHER SIMILAR PROGRAMS PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE SAME CLIENTELE AND IF NOT,
FOR WHAT REASON?
Mental Health Services: There are no other Crisis Residential Programs in Sacramento or Stanislaus County.
There is one other AB2034 (Homeless) program in Sacramento County. Garden Gate Respite is a unique housing
program in Stanislaus County. There is a significant need for more homeless services. ISA‘s are often the last opportunity for clients to reside in the community prior to hospitalization and the first to support them in returning to the
community. There are other community-based mental health clinics (RSTs) in Sacramento and Stanislaus County.
DD Services: There are supported living agencies and independent living agencies. Many of the dual diagnosis clients have tried these services and they are not successful. TSS is the only program that provides ―whatever it
takes‖ ―wrap-around‖ services. This unique service category was developed as a creative alternative for clients who
needed services that fall between support living and board and cares.
Children’s Services: TPCP is one of two agencies providing community-based TBS services to children currently
served by other providers. There are five programs in Sacramento County that provide FOCUS-type services and
there are many other county funded children‘s outpatient programs in Sacramento County, although TPCP has
proven successful and offers expansive resources.
WHAT ARE THE PROJECTED LONG-TERM BENEFITS TO THE CLIENT AND TO THE COMMUNITY?
Mental Health Services: Increased independence, a better quality of life, the ability to live in a less restrictive environment, medication management, and stabilization in the community. In the long term we hope to increase ‗quality
of life‘ for those we serve by empowering them to advocate for themselves helping them to learn independent living
skills and coping strategies, assisting them to develop resources necessary for success in meeting their goals. We
63
Frequent Asked Questions
FAQ‘s
also hope to decrease recidivism and reduce hospitalization, therefore relieving some of the fiscal impact on the
community. To the community the benefits are less dependence to public subsidy, reduction in hospitalization and
incarceration, and economical uplift. Additional benefits include gainful employment, increased independence, and
supported housing with a sustained income.
Children’s Services: Long term benefits include prevention of increased negative behaviors that place burden on
schools and teachers, families, and communities overall. Skill development pinpoints issues requiring improvement
in order for the child to manage successfully in society. Additionally, assessment diagnosis and treatment improves
individual client behavior thereby preventing more costly services. The programs assist the child to maintain their
current level of placement (whether in a family home or group home placement up to a level 12-14), assist youth to
transition to a lower level of placement, reduce or eliminate target behaviors that jeopardize the client‘s current level
of placement; reduce the need for psychiatric hospitalizations, and decrease the client‘s aggressive/harmful behavior toward himself/herself or others. Benefits to the community include education in the overall cost of serving highrisk children and youth, families remaining intact negating the need for more costly services. Children can avoid ongoing contact with the criminal justice system, which historically leads to adult criminal contact. Statistics support
that children placed in foster care and residential placements ultimately do not develop the skills to be contributing
members of society as adults.
IS THIS PROGRAM DESIGN BASED UPON MODELS PROVEN EFFECTIVE OR IS THIS A MODEL OR INNOVATIVE PROGRAM BY ITSELF?
Mental Health Services: CRP was developed as a result of the consumer driven movement of the 1980‘s. The consumer movement focuses on the idea that individuals who have experienced similar problems, life situations, or
crises can effectively provide support to one another. Self-advocacy and mutual support make up the foundation of
the programs. Numerous studies confirm that self-help programs like the CRPs respond more readily to client needs
than traditional providers. HIP was designed after Integrated Services model utilizing harm reduction, recovery, and
‗whatever it takes‘ approaches; utilizing SISA and TP ISA‘s innovative program design which was developed
through the AB3777 legislation.
DD Services: TSS is modeled after the Integrated Services Agencies, as they are the most successful model for the
dual diagnosed population in Sacramento.
Children’s Services: This program emulates a model that has been effective with other agencies: Providing services
in-home and in-office using a collaborative approach that includes the family and client in the process. TBS services
were modeled two pilot programs in the state of California. The TBS program is innovative and evolving. Since TBS
services have been provided in Sacramento County for only one and a half years and at TPCP since September
2002, it is too early for the program to have proven effective in the long term. The FOCUS program is based on innovative models from the East coast, which have proven to be effective utilizing the wrap-around philosophy.
IS THIS SERVICE LEGISLATIVELY MANDATED OR THE RESULT OF A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN
OTHER PARTIES?
Mental Health Services: HIP is created as a result of Assembly Bill 2034, which directs funding for the programs.
TPCP‘s SISA was previously legislatively mandated. Today this is crucially being evaluated. Since the funds from
AB3777 were eliminated in May of 2002 and the program was tentatively secured under AB2034, today this funding
stream is under great scrutiny and SISA may once again be defunded.
DD Services: TSS program is the result of an ―entitlement,‖ The Laterman Act and the Coffelt agreement. DD Home
services are provided for those individuals who have been determined by a Regional Center or the State Depart-

ment of Developmental Services to meet the eligibility criteria of the Welfare and Institutions Code and Title 17 of
the California Code of Regulations.
Children’s Services: Outpatient has two components; one through Sacramento County utilizing MediCal E.P.S.D.T.
funding and the other through Sacramento County Child Protection Services providing court-mandated counseling.
Therapeutic Behavioral Services is a state mandated program as the result of a judgment and permanent injunction
in the Emily Q. vs Bonta case.
ARE THERE CLEARLY DEFINED OUTCOME MEASURES FOR THESE PROGRAMS AND IF NOT, WHY?
Mental Health Services: Outcomes are evident by the number of reduced hospitalizations, number of clients off conservatorship, number of clients working, and the number of clients who are living semi-independent or independently. In most cases there are clear, measurable outcomes delineated in the contracts. The outcome data is developed through Quality of Life Surveys, Customer Satisfaction Questionnaires, decreases in hospitalization rates, and
efficient caseload management comparisons (which capture these outcomes).
DD Services: The program design is based on the principles of normalization as measured by consumer participation in a variety of age-appropriate activities that take place in natural environments, at the residential home, at
work, in the community and during leisure time. The consumer, family, facility staff, Alta representative, work or program representative, and behavioral specialists meet quarterly to define and update treatment goals and outcomes.
Children’s Services: Outpatient and FOCUS have clearly defined outcome measures established by Sacramento
County Children‘s Mental Health Quality management. There is a Sacramento County Workgroup of TBS providers
who meet with the Sacramento County Mental Health monitor and they are beginning to look at possible outcome
measures. Current outcome measures are: Reduction in frequency of targeted behaviors and stabilization or reduction in level of placement.

Illness, there are several major categories of mental illness. (See Psychiatric Disabilities).
Outcome Measures: Use of standard measures to assess patient change during treatment and at posttreatment follow up. The extent to which a service has achieved it‘s goal and/or met the needs of clientele.
PHF: Psychiatric Health Facility
Psychiatric Disability: Characterized by the presence of behavior, emotions and/or thought processes
which inhibit an individual from working, socializing and taking care of one‘s daily needs in an effective manner and qualitative manner.
Psychiatric Disabilities/ Mental Illness:

Anxiety Disorders: Include panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder, and phobias (social phobia, agoraphobia,
and specific phobias). More than 19 million American adults suffer from an anxiety disorder in a given
year, and many people have more than one anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders frequently co-occur
with depressive disorders, eating disorders, or substance abuse. Depending on the type of anxiety
disorder(s) someone has, effective treatments can include medication(s), psycho-social therapies, or a
combination of the two.

Autism: Is classified as one of the most pervasive developmental disorders of the brain. It is not a
disease. People with classical autism show three types of symptoms: impaired social interaction,
problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual or severely limited activities and
interests. Symptoms usually appear during the first three years of childhood and continue through life.
There is currently no cure for autism, but appropriate treatment may result in relatively normal
development and reduce undesirable behaviors. Asperger's syndrome is related to autism. However,
unlike with autism, a child with Asperger's syndrome experiences no clinically significant delay in
cognitive development, does not experience a gross delay in developing language skills, and does not
have difficulty with creative thinking.

Bipolar Disorder (manic depression): A brain disorder involving episodes of mania and depression.
It affects more than two million American adults. Effective treatments are available that greatly reduce
the symptoms of bipolar disorder and allow people to lead normal and productive lives.

Behavior Disorders: Inability to control impulses. Impacts the individual‘s function, relationships, and
future.

Co-occurring Disorder: Co-morbid; disorders that are often concurrent with one another, like PTSD
and Depression, Substance abuse and Anxiety, etc.; there is more than one diagnosis occurring, multiple diagnosis.

Conduct Disorder: A repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others
or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated.
67
Glossary of Terms

Dementia: The development of multiple cognitive deficits manifested by both memory impairment
(impaired ability to learn new information or to recall previously learned information) and one (or more)
cognitive disturbances.

Depression: In a Major Depressive Disorder, a person experiences some of the following symptoms
for more than two weeks: depressed mood, diminished pleasure in formerly pleasurable things, altered sleep and eating patterns (either more or less than normal), fatigue, agitation and irritability, difficulty concentrating and a sense of worthlessness. Suicidal ideation may be present. A small, but significant, minority of depressed persons complete suicides, so all suicidal statements should be taken
seriously. People generally recover from depressive episodes over time, but become more vulnerable
to experiencing depression again as a result of the experience. Source: Mark Dombeck, Ph.D.

Depressive Disorders: Are serious illnesses that affect a person's mood, concentration, sleep, activity, appetite, social behavior, and feelings. Depressive disorders come in different forms, the most
common being major depression (unipolar depression). Major depression, the leading cause of disability in the U.S., affects over 9 million adults in a given year. Despite the disabling effects of depression, it is highly treatable.

Developmental Disability: A severe and chronic disability that is attributable to a mental or physical
impairment. The disability must begin before the 18th birthday, be expected to continue indefinitely and
present substantial disability. (i.e. mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, or a disabling
condition closely related to mental retardation or requiring similar treatment.)

Dissociative Disorders: Are so called because they are marked by a dissociation from or interruption
of a person's fundamental aspects of waking consciousness (such as one's personal identity, one's
personal history, etc.). Dissociative disorders come in many forms, the most famous of which is
dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). All dissociative
disorders are thought to stem from trauma. The dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping
mechanism, a means for a person to literally dissociate him- or herself from a situation or experience
too traumatic to integrate with the conscious self.

Eating Disorders: Each year, millions of people in the U. S. are affected by serious and sometimes
life-threatening eating disorders. The vast majority--more than 90 percent--of those with eating
disorders are adolescent and young adult women. The three main types of eating disorders are
anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa is a life-threatening
eating disorder defined by a refusal to maintain body weight within 15 percent of minimal normal
weight. Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder marked by a destructive pattern of binge-eating
and recurrent, inappropriate behavior to control weight, including self-induced vomiting and excessive
exercising. One in ten cases of anorexia nervosa leads to death from starvation, cardiac arrest, other
medical complications, or suicide.

Encopresis: Repeated passage of feces into inappropriate places (e.g., clothing or floor) whether
involuntary or intentional.

Enuresis: Repeated voiding of urine into bed or clothes (whether involuntary or intentional) twice a
week for at least 3 consecutive months or the presence of distress or impairment in social, academic
(occupational), or other important areas of functioning.

Manic Depressive: A psychiatric illness that alternately depresses and elevates the individual‘s emotion, cognitive, perceptual and social functioning.
68
Glossary of Terms

Oppositional Defiant Disorder: A pattern of negativistic, hostile, and defiant behavior lasting at least
6 months.

Personality Disorders: When patient‘s complex mix of temperament, attitude, and habit, way of approaching life‘s problems, attitudes toward themselves and those around them-causes problems in
relationships and functioning. Chronic mental disorders that affect a person's ability to function in everyday activities, especially work, family, and social life. There are biological and psychological components to most personality disorders and the preferred treatment is psychotherapy, although medication
may be needed to treat serious symptoms. There are several types of personality disorders, but the
most common is borderline personality disorder.

Schizophrenia: A thought disorder characterized by 4 main symptoms: Hallucinations, delusions,
disturbances of thought, and disturbances of effect. Schizophrenia is a severe and chronic brain
disorder that affects approximately two million Americans today. Schizophrenia impairs a person's
ability to think clearly, manage his or her emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. People with
schizophrenia suffer terrifying symptoms that often leave them fearful and withdrawn. However, this
illness is highly treatable, and new discoveries and treatments are continually improving the outlook
for people with this disorder.

Separation Anxiety Disorder: Developmentally inappropriate and excessive anxiety concerning
separation from home or from those to whom the individual is attached.
Psycho-social rehabilitation: Re-learn or acquire particular skills that encompass psychological and social

All Sacramento and Stanislaus County contracts
-Funds are comprised of contracts with a fixed dollar amount
for each fiscal year.
Restricted Funds
-Money from one fiscal year to another cannot be borrowed
from if expenses exceed revenue, nor can excess dollars be
―rolled over‖ from one fiscal year to another.
-If expenses in any given fiscal year exceed the contract maximum, it is Turning Point‘s responsibility to ―cover‖ those expenses. Conversely, if expenses are less than revenue, the
County will collect the excess revenue.
Alta California Regional Center and Other
-These funds are not subject to the ―use it/lose it‖ criteria.
-They are more volatile due to the funding being tied to individual clients rather than an entire program.
General Funds
For example: If a client is discharged or the funding source
terminates an individual‘s contract, the revenue for that client
ceases until another client is placed. At times, this process
takes a considerable amount of time.
-The advantage to providing this type of service is that there
are no restrictions on how any excess dollars can be used.
