PROGRAM NARRATIVE (continued) <br /> <br />Individual and family work are the primary intervention strategies involved for the home-based worker. The <br />worker attempts to provide support for the family and enhance the coping skills of family and youth. Each case <br />is staffed weekly by the worker and other individuals deemed appropriate who have interest in the family's <br />situation and treatment. Besides counseling, the worker attempts to engage other community resources which <br />may be helpful to the family and referrals are made to other community agencies. <br /> <br />The plans may involve assisting the parents with making appropriate plans for placement, working with the <br />placement resources and the family in developing a plan of payment, or placement in the custody of the <br />Department of Social Services if the situation necessitates such action. Other referrals may be made to Salvation <br />Army, Christian Cooperative Ministry, Piedmont Mental Health Center, Cabarrus Health Department, etc. <br />Overall 50% of youth in the program are age 14-17. 78% are white and 31% are female. <br /> <br />Intervention focuses on helping the family to cope with their current problems. Counseling involves problem <br />solving techniques, improvement of family communication, development of understanding among family <br />members, help with parenting skills and the improvement of lines of communication between parents and other <br />involved agencies. Families are involved with the program for an average of 120 days. The amount of follow-up <br />in the program varies on a case-by-case basis, but never exceeds six months total time. The worker spends 85% <br />of time in direct services to youth and thek families. <br /> <br /> The Cabarrus County Department of Social Services made a proposal for Home-Based Services in May of 1988 <br />--and was approved by the Cabarrus County CBA Task Force and Cabarrus County Board of County <br /> Commissioners. <br /> <br /> It seems that children who are referred early in their involvement with juvenile court benefit most from the <br /> service. In this way, prompt intensive counseling and services may be provided to the family before more crises <br /> develop and the family situation deteriorates further. To this end, agency staff have regular contact with the <br />~juvenile court judges and counselors to discuss the services and referral process. <br /> <br /> <br />
