Project Description Home-Based Parent Education was developed with the primary purpose of strengthening and preserving families while protecting children from(re) abuse or neglect; thereby, preventing out- of-home placement or expediting the return to the home from children living in foster care. Home-Based services are an integral part of an intervention plan for families struggling with issues of abuse or neglect. Families who mistreat their children, although in dire need of services, have trouble remaining in treatment because of their own difficulties in establishing relationships. By providing services in the home, families can be more comfortable which increases their ability to make necessary behavioral changes. When parents are able to learn skills and practice them in the environment they live in, they increase their ability to maintain new skills through the coaching of the parent educator. Home-based services help to decrease the isolation prevalent in child maltreatment. Developing a relationship with the parent educator can increase the family member's ability to transfer that comfort level to other entities such as schools, neighbors, medical personnel and friends. Finally, because of the parent educator's frequent visits to the home, they are in a position to become aware of any increased instances of further abuse or neglect. Each family that meets the Family Preservation criteria that is referred into the program would be provided up to 55 hours of Parenting and Life Skills Training which would enhance and strengthen the parents' ability to create and maintain stable and nurturing home environments. Services are designed to promote healthy child development, assist children and families to resolve crisis, connect with appropriate and necessary services, and remain safely together in their homes, avoiding unnecessary out-of-home placement of children and helping children already in out-of-home care to be returned to and maintained with their families. Home-Based Parent Education is also offered to families that are in need of supervised visitation. The purpose of the supervised visit is twofold: 1)to allow children to preserve relationships with people who are important to them, and 2) parent skills training as part of a treatment plan. During visits,the parent educator will teach childcare and demonstrate ways of setting and enforcing limits. During the supervised visit, parents have an opportunity to test and improve the skills they may be learning either with the parent educator or in other settings such as parenting classes or counseling sessions. The visits can occur either at the family home or at another agreed upon location. c.a.r.e. is prepared to make appropriate arrangements as needed to provide supervised visits at other locations in Weld County, particularly the South Weld County area. The Home- Based supervised visits are not the same as the supervised visits at our c.a.r.e.House facility in Evans. II. Target/Eligibility Populations A. Total number of clients to be served: This depends on the amount of referrals into the program; however, as stated below,the program has the capacity to serve approximately 29-35 families per year.

Therefore, not every family utilizes the program for a uniform amount of hours. The program has the capacity to expand as needed. HI. Type of Service to Be Provided Each of the following services could be provided to any family enrolled in the program;however all families do not need all services. Services provided would be determined by the c.a.r.e. Program Coordinator,c.a.r.e. Parent educator and DSS caseworker. A. Mentoring 1.

Relationship skills as they pertain to community are also worked on as families access needed resources. 4. Teach Household Management including prioritizing, finances,cleaning,and leisure activities. Intensive home-based training in household management, especially as it pertains to safe and nurturing child rearing. When it is identified that the family needs to increase their skills in this area,the parent educator will problem solve and coach the family in keeping a home environment adequate to the safety of family members. The parent educator will also work with the family on prioritizing other elements of family life especially as they pertain to leisure and family budgeting. 5. Actively help to establish community connections and resources Provide information, training and role modeling in accessing community resources, as well as follow through in using resources. The parent educator would accompany the family on appointments to community resources, schools, medical offices and other locations when necessary and appropriate. 6. Encourage goal-setting and pro-social values The parent educator will educate the family about setting short and long term goals and a plan to attain them. They will work toward goals that would be within a socially acceptable value system and examine barriers to achieving healthy goals. The supervised visitation service provided through this program includes all of the above activities when appropriate to the goals for the family. The parent educator will meet with the family separately from the supervised visit time to debrief address concerns and work on issues that will aid them during future visit times. This will include parental support and guidance, help with the use of community resources and ongoing communication and feedback about parenting progress and goals. Quantitative Measures: Each service can be offered to each family enrolled in the program, depending on need. Therefore,there is a potential for up to 35 families per year. These figures are estimates, based on the previous year. The program can be expanded when needed, Child Advocacy Resource and Education,inc.

Project Description The Supervised Visitation and Exchange Program through c.a.r.e. was developed with the primary purpose of protecting children from(re) abuse and neglect while allowing children to preserve relationships with people who are important to them. Supervised visits reassure children that they have not been abandoned by a parent who for many reasons might not be able to have unsupervised contact with their child(ren). The visit occurs on-site at the careHouse facility. Services are designed to promote assist children and families maintain a relationship during this time of crisis. Depending on the needs of the family and the original referral from the caseworker, two levels of intensity will be offered: 1. Low Intensity Supervised Visits or exchanges, under the control of a Visit Supervisor are designed to monitor a visit for safety and supervision with no directive intervention from the staff person(Only limited intervention as necessary for the safety and supervision of children). Supervised exchanges insure safe transport of a child between parents where there is the propensity for conflict and/or family violence. Monitoring of exchanges between parties is limited to the exchange time with the remainder of the parent/child contact occurring unsupervised. In both cases, the visit supervisor will monitor the interactions between family members and provide written documentation. 2. High Intensity Supervised Visits involves a more directive approach with a parent educator providing skills training to parents with goal of improved positive relationships between parents and children. The parent Educator will meet with the family during the actual visit as well as other times as deemed necessary to work on the related parenting and life skills issues. Families enrolled in either program are required to adhere to specific guidelines for visitation at the careHouse facility, which helps to maintain the safety and security of the environment for clients and staff. Transportation has been added to provide transportation for the children to the visit. II. Target/Eligibility Populations The figures below are approximate. Each family in the program has an individual service plan depending on the needs of the family and recommendation of the caseworker. Therefore, not every family utilizes the program for a uniform amount of hours. The program has the capacity to expand as needed. Quantities also depend on the depends on the amount of referrals into the program. Child Advocacy Resource and Education,Inc. 1 Core Services Visitation-03/14/03 1 A. Total number of clients to be served: Low Intensity: 25 families High Intensity: 15 families Transportation: 30 families B. Total individual clients and the children's ages: Low Intensity: 60 High Intensity: 40 Transportation: 45 Total capacity depends on referrals, this includes parents and children aged birth to teens.

Low Intensity: Supervised exchanges insure safe transport of a child between parents where there is the propensity for conflict and/or family violence. Monitoring of exchanges between parties is limited to the exchange time, the remainder of the parent/child contact occurs unsupervised. One parent or caregiver will drop the children off at the careHouse facility and leave. The children will then be in the care of a staff person for 15 minutes. During that time, the children may be occupied in various activities with the staff person, all helping to provide the child with a neutral time to prepare for their time with the other parent or caregiver. Supervised Visitation Visiting parents would attend an initial 1-hr. orientation. At this time, program staff will review and help the parent fill out program paperwork, review program guidelines, and address parental concerns. Children will be brought to visit by caregiver who would leave the premises. Visiting parent would then arrive and visit with children. Upon leaving, the caregiver would return to pick up children. C.a.r.e. can provide family with parenting information and resources as it pertains to their visit. 2. High Intensity Supervised Visitation Parent skills training as part of a treatment plan. A.
