BrielT¥ describe what the program expects to achieve and why. The narrative should address each of the <br />items (1) Identify the staff and their responsibilittes to the program, (2) describe the physical facilities in <br />which the services will be delivered, (3) a~scuss any areas of concern that could affect the success of the <br />program (4) discuss why these resources used in the manner described shouM be expected to alter <br />inappropriate behavior, (5) describe the referral, screening and admission procedures, (6) describe the <br />means of wor/ang with youth and families, (7) describe the daily program activities and, (8) describe the <br />termination procedures and (9} interaction with juvenile court. <br /> <br />This large number of youth coming into our court system places a strain on the ability of <br />the District Court Judges, Juvenile Court Counselors, and Social Services systems to be <br />able to meet the particular problems for the foster care and group home placement service <br />sin the county. All possible measures must be taken to prevent the inappropriate <br />placement of children into foster care where possible. Many times intervention while the <br />youth is in the home can reduce multiple disruptions in the child's life is placement in <br />more than one facility becomes necessary. Also children who experience behavior or <br />emotional problems often have disrupted out-of-home placements. The multiple <br />placements further complicate the youth's ability to cope and may trigger greater <br />disruptive behavior such as acting out, run away, etc. At that point, the task of reuniting <br />the child with the family may become even more difficult. Some parents develop a <br />tendency to "throw away" children once they are placed out of the home, leaving the <br />child with no home to return to, resulting in long term foster care. <br /> <br />Referrals to the Home-Based program by District Court Judges and Juvenile Court <br />Counselors, may help to insure that all community resources are fully utilized prior to <br />custody being placed with Department of Social Services and out-of-home placement. <br />Child Welfare Agencies make "reasonable efforts" to prevent or eliminate the need for <br />removal of a child from his home, and to have implemented a preplacement preventive <br />services program designed to help children remain with their families. All services <br />offered prior to a child's placement in foster care are evidence of compliance with this <br />mandate. This must be done in order to receive federal foster care funds. <br /> <br />This program is staffed by three full-time social workers. The workers' schedule is <br />flexible in that the worker may be making home visits and contact with the youth and his <br />family after the normal worldng hours of the agency. <br /> <br />Some referrals to the program are by telephone. Other referrals to the program are in <br />written form and completed by the referring agency assisted by the social worker. The <br />referral is reviewed by the supervisor of the home-based workers. Following acceptance <br />of the referral, an intake and assessment interview occurs. This initial interview involves <br />the youth, his family, and the referral agent if appropriate. Out of this discussion results <br />the development ora service plan for the youth and his family. <br /> <br />Individual and family work are the primary intervention strategies involved for the <br />home-based worker. The worker attempts to provide support for the family and enhance <br />the coping skills of family and youth. Each case is staffed weekly by the worker and <br />other individuals deemed appropriate who have interest in the family's situation and <br />treatment. Besides counseling, the worker attempts to engage other community resources <br />which may be helpful to the family and~referrals are made to other community agencies. <br /> <br /> <br />
