MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 17, 2013
TO: William F. Garcia, Chair, Board of Countyy��Commiss}oners
FROM: Judy A. Griego, Director, Human Servy%s Dep me'rit'
RE: Amendment to the Weld County Department of Human
Services 2012 Core Services Plan
Enclosed for Board approval is an Amendment to the Department's 2012 Core Services Plan.
This Plan was reviewed under the Board's Pass -Around Memorandum dated January 3, 2013,
and approved for placement on the Board's Agenda.
Weld County's Core Services Plan has been previously approved by the Board for the period of
June 1, 2012 through May 31, 2013. We anticipate that we may be under spending our current
Core Services budget and we wish to amend our Plan in order to keep a majority of the resources
in Weld County. As you know, Child Welfare Block funding can be moved to cover over -
expenditures in Core Services funding; however, Core Services funding cannot cover over
expenditures in Child Welfare Block Grant funding. Any under expenditures in Core Services
funding will be reverted back to the State to be used to cover over expenditures in another
County's Core Services Plan. The major purposes of the Amendment to our current year Core
Services Plan are as follows:
1. To qualify current Child Welfare services and direct service staff who are funded by our
Child Welfare Block funding under our Core Services Plan. We believe that all of our
Parent Education Staff can be qualified as direct services staff under the Life Skills Direct
Service Delivery category of our Core Services Plan. By making this Amendment, we
may be in a better position to use our potential surplus in Core Services funding rather
than continue to have these expenditures taken from our Child Welfare Block.
2. To add a temporary position under the County Design Proposal for the new Family
Engagement Program of up to 32 hours per week. If this program is successful in
engaging families at the on -set of a child welfare case, we may be able to prove savings in
out of home expenditures. If so, we would like to include a request for the position in the
2014 County Budget process. We have been utilizing current staff to engage families in
the Family Engagement Program while trying to make significant changes in the Child
Welfare Practice Model. It is overwhelming to current staff.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at extension 6510.

NEW County Design Proposal for FY2012-I3
CORE SERVICES COUNTY DESIGNED SERVICE
Service Name: Family Engagement Program (Family Facilitator)
Optional services approved as a part of the county's Core Services Plan are approved on
an annual basis. For a County Designed Service to be extended beyond one year, this
portion of the plan must be submitted and approved annually by the State Department.
Given that County Designed programs are not standardized across counties, it is
important to provide detailed information as outlined below. This information can be used
to justify continued funding of the program with the legislature. The information listed
below is to be completed for each County Designed Service to be included in the
County(ies)' Core Services Program Plan.
1. Describe the service and components of the service; define the goals of the program.
The Family Engagement Program (Family Facilitator) will:
Focus on family strengths, rather than weaknesses, by directing
intensive services that support and fortify the family as whole, while
also protecting the child(ren);
Prevent out -of -home placement of the child(ren);
- Return child(ren) to the family home or unite the child(ren) with their
permanent family.
The service components of this program will include:
Facilitation of the continuum of meetings in line with the Family to
Family Model. Such meetings will include Ice Breakers, Team Decision
Making (TDM) meetings, and treatment planning meetings;
- Promotion of family engagement through a family -centered, strength -
based approach;
- Tracking and monitoring of outcomes;
- Consultation with the diligent search worker;
Coordination with the 19th Judicial District staff, community -based
mental health staff, and other community stakeholders to ensure
appropriate services for children and families;
Integration of established evidence -based practice models including
Family to Family and Family Engagement.

NEW County Design Proposal for FY2012-13
2. Indicate if a new Trails service detail is necessary for this County Designed Program or
that the service detail is already an option in Trials.
The service detail already exists in Trails ("Family Empowerment"). Weld will
need to be added as a provider.
3. Define the eligible population to be served.
The eligible population for these services will include:
- Families with an open Child Welfare or Youth in Conflict (YIC) case
with Weld County.
- Children (and their families) identified as eligible for Core Services
based on their imminent risk of out -of -home placement due to one or
more factors as defined in Volume VII.
- Collaterals within the community for the purpose of developing
effective treatment and prevention plans for children and/or families.
4. Define the time frame of the service.
- Agency participation in family engagement strategies and associated
educational opportunities will be ongoing.
- Individual participation of families will vary based on the referred
family's level of involvement with Weld County, and their specific
needs. Potential timeframes may range from four (4) to twelve (12)
months.
5. Define the workload standard for the program.
The position will initially be part-time (max of 32 hours per week) and will
support two staff who are conducting meetings at this time. Position will
assist with scheduling and facilitation of meetings, as well as treatment
planning.

6. Define the staff qualifications for the service, e.g., minimum caseworker III or
equivalent, see 7.303.17 for guidelines.
The position will meet the qualifications of a Caseworker III or equivalent.
7. Define the performance indicators that will be achieved by the service, see
7.303.18.
Families in the Weld County Family Engagement Program will demonstrate
improvement in one or more of the following areas based upon their
individual Family Services Plan:
Locating and accessing community and other resources.
- Family Conflict Management.
- Parental Skills Management.
- Household Skills Management.
Personal and Individual Management.
Academic, Behavioral and Emotional Skill Management.
Additionally, the Weld County Family Engagement Program will demonstrate:
Shortened timeframes for out -of -home placement.
Improved scoring on the Child Welfare Scorecard Report.
Participation in Family Engagement will result in fewer children in out -
of -home placement and shorter case timeframes.
8 Identify the service provider.
The Weld County Department of Human Services will employ one provider for
the position of Family Facilitator.
9. Define the rate of payment (e.g., $250.00 per month).
The position will be a Caseworker Ill, at a base salary of $23.85/hour or
