· 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 />foflowing items (1) Identify the staff and their responsibilities to the program, (2) describe the physical facilities <br />in which the services will be defivered, (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 families, (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. Each specialized residential treatment facility will employ trained staff who are responsible for providing <br />24 hour care and supervision for each juvenile. Staff will ensure consistent structure within the treatment <br />facility, provide transportation to school, medical appointments, and counseling Sessions, serve as a mentor <br />and role model for the juvenile, facilitate informal group sessions within the facility, facilitate and monitor <br />visitation between the juvenile and family members, monitor juvenile interactions with one another, and assist <br />in developing and carrying out the Family Services Case Plan set forth by CCDSS. There will be a continual <br />flow of information between the treatment facility and CCDSS to ensure the juvenile is receiving maximum <br />treatment. <br /> 2. The location and physical structure of each specialized treatment facility will range from the traditional <br />campus setting to family style homes located in residential neighborhoods. Each will contain adequate bed <br />space based on the licensing capacity of each facility, kitchen facilities, common living/social areas, adequate <br />bathroom facilities, laundry facilities, staff office space, and a separate bedroom space for staff. All facilities <br />will have adequate recreation facilities and are in close proximity to other community resources. All facilities <br />will meet the licensing requirements set forth by the State regarding the physical layout. <br /> 3. Placement in specialized treatment facilities will be effective with those juveniles who respond positively <br />to a behavior modification regimen. Those juveniles suffering from severe psychiatric needs may not be <br />successful as quickly and may ~'equire years of treatment despite intense efforts by the treatment facility and <br />CCDSS. This will primarily be the case with juveniles suffering from a chemical imbalance, and/or an <br />extensive history of severe physical/sexual abuse, and/or an extensive history of substance abuse. Each <br />specialized treatment facility demonstrates a committed effort to work with each juvenile despite the severity of <br />the juvenile's behaviors/needs. <br /> 4. As stated earlier, the majority of juveniles involved in the juvenile justice system lack the structure and <br />consistency of a stable living environment, and many have not had appropriate parental support and/or <br />supervision. When this is coupled with juvenile drug abuse, truancy, and mental health issues associated with <br />poor family dynamics, juveniles in need of out of home placement must be placed in a specialized treatment <br />facility that will provide a drug free environment and consistent structure on a daily basis. CCDSS has found <br />that juveniles respond quickly and in a positive manner to the structured environment of a treatment facility, <br />and many state that what they want most from the parent is this type of environment at home. While the <br />negative behaviors and needs of juveniles in residential treatment facilities is not expected to disappear, the <br />positive outcome of less, to no further involvement, within the juvenile justice system and the greater likely of <br />juveniles returning home is a realistic outcome. <br /> 5. CCDSS and the Office of Juvenile Justice along with Piedmont Behavioral Healthcare Center (PBHC) <br />work together in a collaborative effort to identify those juveni!es at imminent risk of out of home placement. <br />The identification process generally begins with the Office of Juvenile Justice at which time coordination begins <br />to determine the most suitable placement available based on the individual needs of the juvenile. All youth <br />served will be involved with the juvenile justice system, therefore ongoing communication/coordination will <br />occur between CCDSS, the Office of Juvenile Justice, and the treatment facility to ensure the juvenile receives <br />maximum treatment in a timely manner. All juveniles will be ordered into CCDSS custody by a juvenile court <br />judge and the case will then be tracked in court by the CCDSS social worker until custody is transferred back <br />to the parent or other appropriate caregiver. <br /> 6. As stated earlier, early detection and initial assessments regarding the out' of home placement of. <br />juveniles involved in the juvenile justice system are done in an effort to secure the most appropriate placement. <br />Each treatment facility is supplied with detailed information on the juvenile as well as any limitations and/or <br />special considerations that need to be taken into account. The CCDSS social worker will immediately do a <br />Family Services Case Plan with the juvenile and the juveniles family specifying each participant's <br /> <br />JCPC PROGRAM AGREEMENT, 2002-2003 <br /> <br /> <br />
