FYC PROPOSAL
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Youth Passages has been an FYC provider for eight years. Throughout that time we have
provided high quality intensive treatment to youths experiencing significant emotional,
behavioral, psychiatric, educational, interpersonal, familial and chemical dependency
problems.
Treatment modalities that we specialize in include: milieu, individual, group,
experiential,behavioral and family therapy. Our family therapy program is one of the
strengths of our service delivery system.
Youth Passages staff has consistently demonstrated the ability to develop positive
relationships and facilitate growth with an unmotivated clientele. We feel this skill base
will be an asset in working with the type of families referred for Intensive Family
Therapy (IFT). Youth Passages will offer three alternatives for family intervention.
The Youth Passages IFT program for single families will consist of 2 to 4 hours
of direct service per week per family. The therapist assigned to these cases is
bilingual and experienced in the treatment of families with chemical dependency
and domestic violence issues. The treatment will be based on a brief therapy
solution oriented model with an average length of treatment of 8 to 10 weeks. In
home family therapy visits will be considered on a case by case basis.
The Youth Passages Network Intervention Program (based on the work of Specht
& Attaneave) will offer an opportunity for a child's extended circle of support
to meet and determine what changes need to be made in a child's world so
prosocial growth is accomplished. These day long sessions will be facilitated by
Georgia Rigg, L.C.S.W. who will utilize multiple group and family intervention
strategies to identify: 1) what specific behavior changes must be made by the
child; and 2)what the people in the support system must do to support agreed
upon changes.
The Youth Passages Multiple Impact Family Therapy program will
simultaneously treat 3 to 5 families over a period of 2 whole day sessions. Each
family, consisting of parents/guardians and children, will present relevant
treatment issues. Georgia Rigg, L.C.S.W.,will then divide participants into
various rotating and intermingling groups (e.g. children, parents, men, women,
nuclear families) to help facilitate each individual person and family group in
developing a cohesive and realistic plan for productive change.
Youth Passages IFT will serve clients under age 18 and their families. This program will
serve new clients in our system as well as being used as step down services for our partial
hospitalization program clients. It should be noted that clients and their families
1
can enter the Intensive Family Therapy program directly without having been a Youth
Passages Day Treatment client.
An individual treatment plan will be developed for each family to specify appropriate and
attainable goals. Input from referring agencies will be utilized in the formulation of these
plans. Youth Passages staff will communicate progress toward treatment goals via
biweekly phone reports to WCDSS caseworkers and a written discharge summary at the
end of treatment.
Families who successfully complete the Intensive Family Therapy Program are invited to
participate in North Colorado PsychCare's Family Continuing Care Group. This free of
charge service is offered on Thursdays from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the PsychCare/Family
Recovery Center building.

III. TYPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
A• Comprehensive diagnostic and treatment planning services will be delivered
using a modified case conference format. For the IFT program, the initial
therapy session will be comprised of filling out a psychsocial evaluation
detailing the client's presenting problem and history. WCDSS and other
involved parties will be invited to attend this initial meeting. If this is not
feasible, collateral information will be gathered via phone conferencing and
written records release. Biweekly phone calls to WCDSS caseworkers will
ensure accurate and timely communication of information between involved
parties. The Network Intervention and Multiple Impact Family Therapy
programs will utilize face to face meetings with caseworkers, phone calls and
review of case records to determine client history, presenting problem and
goals for the treatment intervention.
B• Youth Passages staff is committed to providing total care to all people in our
system. Referring agencies and other treating professionals have always
been welcome to see current clients in our setting or their office and this
practice will continue. Case conferences are an ideal tool to bring together all
interested parties to plan and coordinate treatment and assign tasks to specific
individuals.
c. Our IFT therapeutic services will be facilitated by a minimum of one
Master's level therapist specializing in child, adolescent and family therapy.
Youth Passages staff is open to co-facilitating sessions with other accredited
community providers. The Network Intervention and Multiple Impact Family
Therapy programs will be facilitated by a minimum of two Master's level
family therapists.
D• Our brief therapy solution oriented treatment approach will be focused,
concrete and goal directed. As dictated by the RFP-FYC-01008 our focus will
be on resolving conflict and disagreement within the family that contributes to
child maltreatment, running away and behavior constituting status offenses.
Treatment plans outlining the specific goals and the process of obtaining these
goals will be completed on a case by case basis. General issues which may be
dealt with include communication skills, conflict resolution, anger
management, parenting, behavior plans, substance abuse issues and stress
management.
