Lutheran Family Services of Colorado
Visitation Services
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Lutheran Family Services of Colorado is a community-based agency with an experienced staff
that offers a wide range of services to children, families and adults. It is a non-profit agency that
has provided human services to Colorado since 1948. Although the agency was established as
an affiliate of the Lutheran Church, it is an equal opportunity agency that provides services to all
individuals without consideration of religious beliefs, race, ethnicity, sex or economic status.
This project is intended to serve children in out-of-home care,who are the subjects of
dependency and neglect actions, and who have a court order which requires supervision of the
"parenting time"between the children and members of their families of origin, or who the county
Department determines to be in need of supervised visitation. In some cases, this parenting
time, whether with birth parents or other extended family members, could be safely provided in
the home of the birth parent/extended family or in another community location which would be
less formal, and more normalizing than alternatives in the County Department of Social Services
or other agency buildings. LFS has rented a home to be used as a visitation home. This is a fully
functioning home with a full kitchen and bath so that more normal family activities can occur
during parenting time.
The goal for this visitation program is to expedite reunification of a family, if appropriate, or to
provide the county Department with an assessment which will move the child(ren)toward an
alternate permanent plan. The visits may occur in the birth family home, in the Lutheran Family
Services'Visitation Home or in another community setting. After an initial assessment period of a
maximum of three visits, one of two levels of services will be determined appropriate by
consultation between the Supervisor with-assistance from
the Program Coordinator and Clinical Supervisor, as needed. The least restrictive service on the
continuum would be monitoring of the visitation for the physical health and welfare of the
child(ren). More intensive services would be provided through educational visitation where we
evaluate the visits for appropriateness of interactions, assess the parent-child relationship,
evaluate parenting capability and actively intervene, role model, support and educate the family
members during the visit.This level of supervision could also include time spent separately with
adult family members prior to, and/or following the visitation to discuss parent-child interaction
during the visit time. Transportation to and from the visitation site would be provided in both of
the above-described levels and the transportation hourly rate would be used.
II. TARGET/ELIGIBILITY POPULATIONS
The target population would include any children who are the subject of dependency and neglect
actions requiring supervised"parenting time" by the court or the county Department of Social
Services. Children who have met any of the conditions of Criterion#1 for out-of-home placement
could be appropriate service recipients, including infants or young children with teen parents also
in placement. We will serve children ages birth to 18 and their families.
A. Total number of clients served: 162
We have three service levels within the visitation program. Our Transportation program is
budgeted to provide services for 48 clients, our Monitored Visiting program is budgeted to provide
Lutheran Family Services Visitation Program
services to 17 clients and our Interactional Visiting program is budgeted to provide services to 37
clients. The clients receiving transportation services will be receiving services in one of the
visitation levels and is not counted for the purposes of this number. This number assumes 3
family members in each family. There are four staff members budgeted in this program and we
have a total of 16 direct service staff available and can serve more families if we have the
referrals.
B. Total individual clients and the children's ages: 162
We estimate that each family will have three family members. The Transportation clients are
counted in one of the visitation levels for the purpose of this number, as they will be receiving one
of the visitation services. The two visitation services are budgeted to provide services to 43
families. Children's ages can be from birth to 18.
C. Total family units: 54
The Transportation clients are counted in one of the visitation levels for the purpose of this
number as they will be receiving one of the visitation services. The two visitation services are
budgeted to provide services to 43 families.
D. Sub-total of individuals who will receive bicultural/bilingual services: 41
We have had two bilingual workers on staff since late last summer and we have not experienced
a significant increase in referrals of families who are monolingual and speak Spanish. This
number reflects one quarter of our budgeted clients.
E. Sub-total of individuals who will receive services in South Weld County: 41
We do not limit our services geographically. This number is reflective of an estimated one quarter
of the referrals being from South County.
F. The monthly maximum program capacity: 27 families
The maximum number of cases per month served through this program would be 27 families and
could include children from birth through eighteen (18), with family members of any ages. The
number of contact hours budgeted for our three services is 39-52 and each case is budgeted for
6 months (based on EPP time frames), so the average weekly direct service per client is 2 hours.
The actual number of client contact hours with the children will depend on the total number of
hours of visitation ordered by the court, or requested by the county Caseworker, e.g., one case
may require one hour per week of visitation with a child and another may require two hours,two
times per week. We can assign as many staff to this program as the referrals warrant, so our
maximum capacity can be much larger.
G. The monthly average capacity: 27 families
This number is based on our budgeted capacity.
H. Average stay in the program(weeks): 6 months
The average stay in the program, as well as the average hours per week,would be dependent
upon the conditions of the court order and/or the request of the county Department of Social
Services. The budget is based on two hours of direct service per family for six months.
I. Average hours per week in the program: 2
III. TYPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
Visitation services will be offered by LFS at two different levels (excluding Travel). Initial referrals
will all be made for Level B. After an initial assessment period of no more than three visitations,
Life Skills—Visitation 2
Weld County
Off System Bid 02-03 RFP-FYC 03005
Lutheran Family Services Visitation Program
the ongoing level of services will be decided by consultation with the county caseworker and the
Visitation Supervisor,with supervisory input from either agency,as needed.Transportation for
both levels may be provided, if needed, and the transportation time will be billed at a lower rate
than the cost for either of the two visitation levels. The total cases receiving services may be
divided between the two visitation levels.
The two levels are:
Level A: Monitored Visitation—In some situations, children in out-of-home care need only
transportation to visitations with birth family members, a reasonable and safe visitation location
and a supervisor to assure that the family members are providing for the safety of the child(ren)
during the visit. In these situations,the visit supervisor would be expected to arrange for and
document the location, time and attendance of participants of the visit, and provide a brief written
observation of the appropriateness;timeliness and interaction of visit participants. The supervisor
would not be expected to stay within hearing distance of the child(ren)and other visit participants
in order to monitor the content of conversations. Transportation for the children in care to and
from the site may be provided by the contracting agency.
Level B: Interactional Visitation—The focus of this visitation level is to actively monitor,
assess and assist in the overall adult/child interaction with the intent to improve the quality of the
relationship. This visitation level would require.that the supervisor monitor not only the physical
behavior and activities of the visit, but remain within a distance reasonable to monitor
communication with the children during the visit. The purpose of the interactional visit would be
to assess the level of future intervention needed for continuing visitation, to provide information to
the court and the Department regarding the interaction of the children and other visit participants,
and to provide protection, physically and emotionally, for children in out-of-home placement
during birth family visitation. To accomplish this, intervention and role modeling by the visitation
supervisor will occur to ensure appropriate communication and/or safe activities for the well-being
of the child(ren). Education, role modeling and coaching, if appropriate, will be included at this
level of visitation. Tools such as videos of child development and parent/child interaction, books
regarding specific parenting or child development tasks, structured activities during visitation and
assignments for ongoing visit preparation may be used. (Specific parenting educational needs,
such as bonding and attachment.work or adolescent anger management may be identified and
requested by the caseworker.) In order to accomplish parenting instruction without lowering the
self-esteem of the parent in front of their children, some of the education may occur at a time
outside of the scheduled visitation, usually just prior to,or immediately following, a visit. If
possible,and with the approval of the caseworker, this level of visitation could occur within the
family home. Whether in the family home, in the Lutheran Family Services'Visitation Home or in
the community, arrangements for the visit location will be made by LFS,with the caseworker's
approval,and transportation of the child(ren)to and from the site may be provided by LFS.
Cost Containment(step down services)
This program is not based on the provision of introspective therapy services,which are typically
provided for a longer duration of time with more complex goals. This program provides more
'applied'or'hands on'services. Families are taught concrete skills through education, modeling
and practice. Skill building includes development of the skills necessary to access community
resources.
IV. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES
1. Children will be safe, physically and emotionally, during visitation with birth family
members. This outcome will be measured by tracking the number of incidents of
suspected child abuse that is reported due to behavior at a visit.
Life Skills— Visitation 3
Weld County
Off System Bid 02-03 RFP-FYC 03005
Lutheran Family Services Visitation Program
2. Visits ordered or requested for children will occur in compliance with the time frame and
duration required. This outcome will be measured through review of monthly reports by
LFS.
3. Assessment of child/adult interactions at visits will help move the children toward either
reunification with birth family or other permanency plans. This outcome will be measured
through review of monthly reports by LFS.
4. Parenting support and education by visitation supervisors will move the children toward
visitations in their family homes,with the goal of eventual unsupervised visitation and
then reunification. This outcome will be measured through review of monthly reports by
LFS.
5. If children cannot be returned home, visitation supervision and efforts to assist parents
will result in information for the county Department and courts that will allow for
alternative permanency plans to be considered. This outcome will be measured through
review of monthly reports by LFS.
6. The county Caseworker will receive written documentation pursuant to whichever level of
visitation supervision is being required. This outcome will be measured through review of
monthly reports by LFS.
7. LFS visitation supervisors will be available for court testimony, if subpoenaed. This
outcome will be measured through review of monthly reports by LFS.
8. Department of Social Services monthly verification, reimbursement requests and program
project reports will be submitted as required. This outcome will be monitored through
tracking of billing by the Weld County intemal accounts receivable department.
V. SERVICE OBJECTIVES
Level A: Monitored Visitation—At this level the objective is safe transportation of the children
to and from a visit site, physical safety of the children during the visitation and a positive visitation
experience for the children in care with birth family members. "Birth family members"could
include only siblings who are also in out-of-home care in another placement location. A visitation
case does not necessitate the involvement of adults in the birth family. The visit supervisor will
provide a monthly summary to the county caseworker detailing the date,time and duration of the
visitation, the participants in the visitation,a brief summary of activities, notice of any critical
incidents(including early termination of visit for any reason), and children's attitudes or comments
during the visit and during the transportation to and from the visit. The length of service would be
dependent upon court order or county caseworker request, until permanency plans for the
children in out-of-care are accomplished.
Level B: Interactional Visitation—Initially, this level of visitation would require information
sharing, managed by the visitation supervisor, between the children and visiting family members
concerning the purpose of the visits, possible visit locations and the safety arrangements. In
addition to the children's physical safety at the visitation, this level of supervision would require a
physical proximity to visit participants allowing for monitoring of verbal communication with the
children. The supervisor would be prepared to intervene for either the emotional or physical
safety of the children,would terminate the visit if the children were at risk emotionally or
physically and will provide parent coaching, support, education and assistance with setting goals
aimed at independent parenting of their child(ren). A monthly summary of conversations,
activities and interactions would be provided to the caseworker, and/or the court, in order to
assess the effect of the visits on the children and the possible need for adjustment, either limiting
or extending visitation arrangements. The objective of these visits would be to protect the
children,to help the family work toward unsupervised visitation and/or reunification or to provide
Life Skills—Visitation 4
Weld County
Off System Bid 02-03 RFP-FYC 03005
Lutheran Family Services Visitation Program
information regarding parent/child interaction to allow for other permanency planning
arrangements. The visit supervisor would be both qualified and available to testify in court, if
subpoenaed.
VI. WORKLOAD STANDARDS
A. Number of hours per day,week,or month: 232 per month
We have budgeted 232 hours of direct service per month for this program.
B. Number of individuals providing the services: 5
We have budgeted four full time staff members in this program. We have 16 direct service staff
available throughout our entire program. More staff can provide services in this program if
needed.
C. Maximum caseload per worker: 8
In our structure, a full time professional staff person can provide 16 hours per week of direct
service so the caseload will be dependent on the number of weekly direct service hours needed
for each case. This number is predicated on the provision of 2 hours of direct service per case.
D. Modality of Treatment:
The modality of treatment varies,the priority at both levels is provision for the health and well-
being of the child(ren)client. In our Interaction Visitation program,the focus is on child/adult
interaction, bonding, reciprocity in relationship and development of overall parenting skills. We
will use assessment, education, modeling and assistance with application of the skills learned.
E. Total number of hours per day/week/month: 232
F. Total number of individuals providing these services: 5
We have budgeted four full time staff members in this program. We have 16 direct service staff
available throughout our entire program. More staff can provide services in this program if
needed.
G. The maximum caseload per supervisor: 1:7 ratio
H. Insurance
Our proof of insurance, naming Weld County Department of Social Services as co-insured, is
attached.
LFS will provide transportation to and from the visit site for the children in out-of home care,
visitation supervision at one of the two levels previously described, clinical supervision within the
contracting agency for the visitation supervisors, documentation as requested by the County for
verification and billing purposes and documentation and assessment as needed by the
caseworker for case planning and court presentation.
Our Visitation Supervisors work flexible hours,typically between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday. Weekends are taken into consideration if the family is unable to meet
during the week. The total number of hours provided would be dependent upon the court or
Department's request(e.g., a unit might be a single two hour visit per week or it might be a one
hour visit, three times per week).
