SECTION IV ] ' <br /> <br />COMPONENT NARRATIVE (Attach for each component) <br /> <br />Briefly describe what the program expects to achieve and why. The narrative should address each of the <br />followin.q items (1) Identify the staff and their responsibilities to the program, (2) describe the physical facilities <br />in which the services will be delivered, (3) discuss any areas of concern that could affect the success of the <br />program, (4) discuss why these resources used in the manner described should be expected to alter <br />inappropriate behavior, (5) describe the referral, screening and admissions procedures, (6) describe the <br />means of working with youth and famNes, (7) describe the protective factors the program will use to address <br />the identified risk factors, (8) describe the daily program activities, (9) describe the termination procedures, <br />and (10) describe the interaction with juvenile court. <br />(1) There are two co-leaders'of the Guided Growth Group. These are part-time, temporary employees. They <br />are responsible for developing lesson plans for the two group sessions that are held each week on Tuesdays <br />and Thurs~tays. They must lead the discussion and activities in the group. They must maintain documentation <br />of their work including a folder for each child who participates. <br /> <br />(2) The Guided Growth Group is held in a school setting (currently Concord Middle School). <br /> <br />(3) The success of the Guided Growth Group depends upon the investment and commitment of the individual <br />group members, their participation and follow-through, the group process, as well as effective leadership. <br /> <br />(4) These resources are expected to alter inappropriate behavior because a team effort is involved. The child <br />must accept personal responsibility, however group members are expected to work together to help each other <br />and challenge each other. The group leaders help facilitate change. <br /> <br />(5) The referral, screening and admission procedures for the Guided Growth Group are as follows: Any <br />professional in the community can make a referral. After the referral is received, a home visit is scheduled. <br />The group leaders complete an ass. essment and determine if the child is appropriate to participate in group. If <br />so, the child is admitted to group immediately. If not, other options are recommended. <br /> <br />(6) The 'primary technique used in the Guided Growth Group is .the group process itself. This depends upon <br />the interaction of participants. Every group session has an agenda and a lesson plan. The topic of the day <br />could be anger management, conflict resolution, etc. But each participant can bring individual issues for <br />discussion: <br /> <br />(7) The Protective Factors identified in the Cabarrus JCPC Community Assessment include strengthening <br />families through skills building, earlier identification of drug/alcohol problems, and improving availability of drug <br />and alcohol treatment services. When juveniles participate in the Guided Growth Group, they are learning. <br />skills that will help them to be more successful in the home environment. When they learn to manage anger <br />and communicate more effectively, this. has a positive effect on all their interactions. Similarly, the group <br />teaches children how to resist negative peer pressure. This could help them say no to drugs.. Since the <br />children are seen weekly by two professional social workers, this provides an opportunity to spot indicators of <br />substance abuse and take appropriate action to confront the problem and seek help. <br /> <br />(8')'.The G'uided Growth Group leaders do not work every day, but they usually work two or three days per <br />w~ek. Two partial days are used to actually conduct the group. Another partial day may be needed for. <br />preparation of the lesson plans for the week. They must also complete required case documentation. <br />(9) The Guided Growth Group leaders prepare clients in advance for termination. As clients begin to achieve <br />their goals, the group leaders give them feedback and begin to plan for the final session. Those who <br />successfully reach their goals will have a graduation ceremony and receive recognition for their <br />accomplishments.in group. Other group members are also prepared in advance for the fact that one of them <br />will be leaving soon. They are made aware that a new member will be joining the group. Sometimes those <br />who graduate are invited back as peer mentors. This not only benefits the regular group participants but it also <br />supports the peer mentor in his or her continued success. <br /> <br /> <br />
