PROJECT DESCRIPTION In August 1995, Weld County School District Six (District 6), the University of Northern Colorado (UNC), and North Range Behavioral Health (NRBH)jointly opened the Carson Children's Center(CCC). In August 1999, with the clinical and administrative partnership of the Namaqua Center, the CCC became the Kathleen Painter Littler Center. Littler is a year around day treatment program for children ages five through 13 years. It has capacity of 20 students. Day treatment is a comprehensive, highly structured alternative to the out-of-home placement or the more intensive placement of a child already in placement that provides mental health care and education to its student clients. Treatment services for each client's family are an integral part of the program. The Littler Center provides highly integrated and coordinated educational and treatment services to its students. The affective needs of each child are responded to not only by the treatment staff, but by the educational and supportive services staff as well. Similarly, the students' education is not solely the responsibility of the teaching staff but is shared by all on-site personnel. Because all Littler students are staffed as special needs children, additional services called for in each child's individualized education plans (IEP) such as occupational therapy, speech/language services, and physical therapy are provided on-site. The Littler day begins with a welcoming group to greet the children and to help them make the transition from life at home to a day in school and in treatment. Information from each student's parents, guardians, or foster parents is obtained directly or via notebooks sent home with and brought back each day by the students to keep the staff and parents/guardians up-to-date and to encourage open communication. Each child's goals and progress toward them are updated daily before the children move to other aspects of the day. Educational and affective curricula are simultaneously in place as much as is feasible in the various daily activities. The students progress through a series of treatment and educational offerings each day. While some children are in the classroom for group or individual instruction, others are seen in individual therapy while others are in a treatment group. There are ongoing, scheduled therapeutic groups that address new themes as well as themes from earlier sessions. The daily schedule is similar from day to day promoting the consistent milieu essential to the children's success. Recess, lunch, and other activities are similarly integrated. The day ends back in the room where welcomes occurred. Now, the focus is to review the day with the children and prepare them for the transition back to their homes. Goals and successes of the day are the foci of this activity. Children may remain for a family therapy session. Family therapy typically is planned for the end of the day to allow for parents' work schedules. The schedule is sufficiently flexible to allow for such sessions during the school day as well. Individual and family therapy continues to occur during school breaks. Psychiatric services are integrated in the program. Each child receives a psychiatric evaluated including a determination of need for psychotropic medications. Follow-up psychiatric services are provided throughout each student's stay and, when appropriate, in the care that follows treatment at Littler. Students with special treatment needs have available to them the full array of services of NRBH in addition to those available at Littler. Students can be seen in groups designed to help them deal with sexual abuse and other trauma they have endured, to learn new ways to manage their anger, and to develop and refine their social skills. II. TARGET/ELIGIBILITY POPULATIONS It is intended that the Littler Center serve up to 20 children ages five through 12 years and their families at any given time in the 6 to 18 month day treatment program. Of these, it is anticipated that up to ten could have the financial aspect of their care covered under the services proposed herein. Up to 18 children and their families will be served annually of whom 12 will possibly be eligible for FYC-funded services. It is anticipated that approximately 25% of all the students and/or their families will receive some level of bilingual bicultural services on-site. Based on current utilization rates, it is estimated that up to 25% of the Littler students will be from southern Weld County. For the purposes of this grant, the monthly maximum program capacity is defined as 10 children with a monthly average program capacity of eight. The average length of stay in the program is estimated to be in the range of 36 to 52 weeks. Students spend a minimum of 29.5 hours weekly in the total program. In order for a child to be considered as a potential student of the Littler Center, she or he must be staffed into special education services in her or his home school district and must have demonstrated the capacity to return to her or his home school upon successful completion of the Littler program. Children referred to the project will have met, or be at high risk to meet, the out-of-home placement criteria detailed in the request for proposal. As mentioned above, each will also have met or be believed to qualify for special education services. III. TYPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED . Site-based services to the students of the Littler Center and their families will be held each day District 6 schools are regularly in session plus through the summer. An academic year will consist of 46 total weeks with an average of not less than 29.5 hours of programming weekly, 5.9 average daily hours. The planning and implementation of the Littler Center has been a collaborative and cooperative effort from its inception. The Weld County Department of Social Services (WCDSS), involved early on in the planning process, agreed to utilize the services of this day treatment program for those of its clients demonstrating the need for it and for whom they believe they have financial responsibility. The Littler Center's admission director works to ensure that FYC resources do not supplant other community resources and WCDSS caseworkers are involved prior to the screening process for all WCDSS children. The collaborative role of Weld County School District 6 has been exemplary from the planning stage forward as it furnished the past site, recruited and hired professional and paraprofessional staff, and provided administrative guidance. Similarly, NRBH, with the strong support of its Board of Directors and management team, offered administrative assistance in planning and implementing the treatment program. The U.N.C. has provided initial and ongoing technical assistance through Teresa Bunsen, PhD from its Special Education Department. The U.N.C. has also provides doctoral level students as part time staff for the program, assisting primarily in the final and transitional phase of the program when children are reintegrated into their home schools. The Namaqua Center is the newest partner in this program. They add over 23 years of clinical and administrative experience in providing day treatment serves to children and their families. Extensive effort has been invested into planning the milieu and overall program of the Littler Center so that educational, therapeutic, behavioral, and recreational components are closely integrated. By design, each of these four components contains aspects of the other three. Concerted efforts helped to achieve and now serve to maintain this high level of integration. The educational component is primarily the responsibility of the District 6 teaching staff plus other instructional staff as may be required. The therapeutic component is primarily the responsibility of the NRBH on-site staff. The behavioral component of the Littler Center is present across all activities of the program and is the responsibility of all on-site personnel. Each student has an individualized education plan and a mental health services plan that spell out educational, behavioral, and emotional concerns and detail how those concerns will be addressed in the daily activities of the student. Similarly, the recreational component of the Littler Center includes educational, therapeutic, and behavioral programming to meet each student's needs. All components of the program are typically carried out on-site. Exceptions to this occur primarily during times when a student is in a transitional stage in returning to her or his home school and when off-site services, such as involvement in a particular therapy group not offered on-site, are indicated. Beginning at intake and throughout the program, parents, guardians, and other caretakers are actively encouraged to engage in their children's education and treatment. Family therapy sessions are held at least weekly for each student. In most instances, parental or guardian involvement is mandatory. This stems from a core belief that not just the child, but also his or her family must actively involve themselves in the treatment/education process for it to be effective and for the positive results to be longstanding. The mental health services plan dictates the specific nature of the family work that is required for each child. The teachers at the Littler Center are certified special education teacher for significantly identifiable emotionally disturbed children. They are assisted by three full-time, specially trained para- professionals in carrying out each student's individualized educational plan. Due to age of the Littler students, there has been no need for vocational or independent living assessment or training to date. Each student receives an initial mental health assessment. The treatment leader, parents/guardians, caseworker, if appropriate, and psychiatrist work to establish a behaviorally specific service plan that details individual therapy, family therapy, psychiatric needs, and case management needs. The service plan identifies the specific outcomes necessary for the child to be successful at a lower level of care. It is the tool by which progress is measured. Typically, each student weekly receives up to two sessions of individual therapy, five sessions of therapeutic group activities, and one session of family therapy. This can very based on the needs of the specific child and their family. More frequent services may be provided during the initial stages of treatment or during a time of crisis. Fewer services maybe provided during the latter stages of treatment when a child is transitioning back to their home school. Those students with psychotropic medication needs are the responsibility of the Littler staff psychiatrist, Wallace LaBaw, MD. There is simultaneous development or updating of the individualized education plan when a child is staffed into the Littler Center. The physical health needs of Littler students including, but not limited to nutrition, medical, and dental, are primarily the responsibility of District 6 nursing staff. These are shared as appropriate by the staff of the Littler Center. Proactive planning for reintegrating a student into her or his home school begins during the initial screening of the child for consideration of admission to Littler. The capacity to return to one's home school, i.e., the school referring the child or the school the child will depend upon promotion to her or his next higher grade, must be established before a child will be accepted into the Littler program as must be the referring school's willingness to have the student return there. Similarly, the graduation requirements for students admitted to the Littler Center are formulated in a preliminary manner during the screening and planning sessions held with each child and her or his family, the staff of the referring school, and social services caseworkers when appropriate. The requirements are largely expressed in terms of outcomes the child will achieve. The program is constructed to emphasize the positive outcomes and gains each student will make. Whenever possible, the strengths of the child will be used as the primary tools for progress. Follow-up mental health care for students graduating from the Littler will be arranged by the Littler Center's mental health staff with NRBH, other mental health centers, or a private practitioner of the graduate's family's or guardian's choosing. The transition plan that guides the student's return to her or his own school also provides for a stepped, systematic introduction to the new therapist or reintroduction to a previous therapist to ensure continuity from day treatment to more traditional outpatient services. IV. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES At the time of admission to the Littler Center, each student will be evaluated using, in part, the Colorado Clinical Assessment Report (CCAR) developed by the Colorado Office of Mental Health Services. Every six months thereafter and at discharge from the Littler Center the CCAR will again be administered. The three-page form covers a wide range of variables and assessments. The Littler Center Admission and Termination Evaluation Forms are to be used as evaluation tools as well. These look specifically at the effects of the littler program. Copies of these forms are attached at the end of this proposal. It is anticipated that 90% of the children successfully completing the Littler program will reside in their own homes, or remain in placement at a similar level of care as they were at the time of their referral, for the first six months after their discharge. The criteria for success will be that each child returns to or remains in her or his home or foster home and is able to safely and constructively do so for at least the first six months they are no longer attending the Littler Center. This information will be gathered by three and six month follow-ups with the child's family and their WCDSS caseworker, if appropriate. Additionally, all successful graduates will enter, remain in, and make satisfactory progress in public school after their discharge from the Littler Center. More specifically, each graduate of Littler will maintain or enhance the progress she or he made academically, socially, behaviorally, and emotionally during her or his time in the program. This will be monitored by three and six month follow ups with the child's family, their WCDSS caseworker, if appropriate, and by the school/community facilitator(or the equivalent) from her or his home school. The criteria for success will be maintenance of or improvement upon her or his levels of functioning in the four areas mentioned above as stated in their individualized educational plan and their mental health services plan. The families of 90% of the children successfully completing the Littler program will report a more relaxed, nurturing, and competent relationship with their children than existed prior to enrollment. Families will be surveyed at discharge, three months and at six months after discharge. Ninety percent of the children completing the Littler program will report and demonstrate an improved sense of self worth, self-confidence, and decreased high-risk behaviors. Appropriate improvements will be revealed when pre-C.C.C. CCAR ratings are compared with similar ratings done at the time of completed transition back to the home school. V. SERVICE OBJECTIVES The primary goal of the Littler Center is to successfully intervene in the lives of its students and their families to minimize the future need for similar intensive services, to enhance each child's ability to be educated and to benefit from that education in her or his home school, to enhance each child's ability and capacity to respond appropriately and healthfully to her or his family, and to improve each child's family's abilities to adequately and appropriately respond to and provide for the child's needs in a competent, safe, nurturing, and growth enhancing manner. In working with families to achieve the goal of improving their abilities to manage family conflict in a safe, constructive manner, the Litter Center staff works toward the objective of resolving conflicts between parents and children so that no maltreatment of the children occurs, no domestic violence occurs, no children run away from home, and no children commit status or legal offenses. Success is measured by family, caseworker, and therapist reports that the objective was met. Each family will also be asked to report on its subjective improvements in this area. To meet the Littler Center goal of improving overall parental competency, an objective of increasing the parents' abilities to develop and maintain sound, caring, effective relationships with each other and with their children is established. An additional objective is to enhance the abilities of the parents to provide, with as much proficiency as possible, for their family's care, nutrition, hygiene, discipline, protection, education, and supervision. All parents are encouraged to develop appropriate support systems designed to last beyond their child's involvement with the Littler Center. Again, the parents and children will be polled concerning their subjective opinions about the improvements they have made, as will the therapist and caseworker. The Littler Center works with each client family to achieve the goal of improving its household management competency. The objective is to enhance the capacity of the parents to provide a safe household environment for the children through competently managing the home to include cleaning, repairing, and maintaining the home, as well as via effective budgeting and purchasing. The family, therapist, and caseworker will document the improvements made in this area. The Littler Center works to improve each family's ability to find and use appropriate resources. Treatment and case management services assist each family to learn more effective means to obtain needed help from other sources in the community and from local, state, and federal governments. This is modeled in each of the families' relationships with the Littler staff. The families will report, and their caseworker and therapist will confirm, all gains made in this area. VI. WORKLOAD STANDARDS The Littler Center will provide day treatment services to 20 children aged five through 13 years, up to 12 of who will meet the FYC funding criteria. A year round academic/treatment schedule is in place. It is anticipated that up to 18 children will be enrolled in the course of a year. The average length of stay in the program will range from 36 to 52 school weeks. Littler students will attend an average of at least 5.9 hours of programming daily on all days the school is in session. The total staff of the Littler Center numbers more than 17 individuals, comprising slightly more than the equivalent of 13 full-time employees. This staffing level exceeds all Colorado licensing rules. Said rules specify a student to total staff ratio of not more than eight to one which is far less than the three to one ratio employed at Littler. If there is a time when only one staff member is present, a second staff member is on call and immediately available to be summoned to an emergency.
