~countered and the client's level of comprehension and abilities. Techniques may include confrontation, <br />~deling, clarification, exploratory questions, role play, reframing, reality therapy, use of analogies, <br />.,gotiation, universalization, and mirroring. Often it is necessary to allow clients to vent anger and frustration <br />iefly but then they must be re-directed into a problem-solving focus. The Home Based Counselor must <br />~ssess knowledge of racial, ethnic, and cultural factors and understand how these factors may impact the <br />~se dynamics. <br /> <br />) The Protective Factors identified in the Cabarrus JCPC Community Assessment include (1) strengthening <br />milles through skills building, (2) earlier identification of drug/alcohol problems, and (3) improving availability <br />drug and alcohol treatment services. The Home Based program focuses on helping families improve their <br />:ills in these areas: communication, problem-solving, anger management, identifying strengths and positives <br />build on, improving coping skills, learning how to access appropriate resources in the community, learning <br />)w to negotiate, learning how to set goals and work toward achieving them, and enhancing family <br />.lationships. The Home Based Counselors have an .opportunity to contribute to early identification of <br />]bstance abuse problems because they are regularly visiting the family home. Some visits are unannounced <br />~d the worker can observe indicators of substance abuse. Most juveniles who participate in Home Based <br />]ve siblings. Our work with families allows us to observe and interact with all children in the home. We can <br />entify risk factors and connect families with preventive programs. In regard to improving the availability of <br />]bstance abuse treatment, our Home Based counselors are skilled at removing barriers to participation. <br />ince we are housed within the Department of Social Services, we are well aware of programs that provide <br />mding for treatment, transportation, child care, etc. <br />~) The Home Based daily program activities revolve around seeing parents and children and carrying out the <br />eatment plan. In additiOn to home visits, the worker may also make school visits to participate in team <br />lanning or follow up on a particular school issue. The worker will make collateral telephone contacts as <br />eeded with other professionals who may be involved in the case. In addition to this, the Home Based <br />'orkers must also keep detailed case notes and other documentation. <br /> , :, <br />)) The Hoi-~e Based counselors a, lways try to prepare families in advance for termination of services. On a <br />,eekly basis, every case is staffed with the supervisor. The worker must complete a written monthly progress <br />;port for each case. If goals are not being met, different interventions must be tried. As families develop <br />lore appropriate and successful methods of dealing with problems, the Home Based counselor will <br />ongratulate them on progress and. point out that soon they will be able to manage Without our involvement.. <br />Vhen families appear to be close to reaching their goals, we will set a target date for termination. A closing <br />ome visit is scheduled and we review the progress in the case. If there are still areas of concern, we will <br />~commend other resources. We will also invite the family to call us any time they need our support or <br />ssistance. We let them know that we will make a follow-up contact within 6 months to see how things are <br />oing. This helps us determine if our program is making a difference. <br />10) The Home Based counselors'have frequent contact with Juvenile Services to discuss shared cases. Our <br />zorkers attend Juvenile Court when a family we are serving has a scheduled hearing. We maintain a positive <br />~orking relationship with Juvenile Services. <br /> <br /> <br />
