This proposal has been endorsed by the Placement Alternatives Commission and approved by the Weld County Board of County Commissioners. As we discussed by telephone several weeks ago, the proposed amendment is to purchase reserved space in a newly licensed local RCCF. The proposal is limited to one year only and the reserved space is on a quarterly reduced formula of 10 - 7 - 7 - 5. The projected date for implementing the amendment is October 1, 1985. Please advise it you require additional information. Sincerely, D IEL M. FO SOCIAL SERVICES AD NISTRATOR VI DMF:lch Enclosures AMENDMENT Program: Purchase of Reserved Space - Weld Mental Health Center RCCF. Statement of Need: This proposal will provide a local residential child care facility for adolescents who are unable to remain in their own homes or other less structured settings due to significant on-going emotional and/or behavioral dysfunctions. 1. Target Group A. Average number of children to be served per month - 10 B. Age - 12 through 18 Gender - Male/Female C. Admission Criteria: Non-developmentally disabled adolescents with emotional or behavioral problems too severe to manage at home or in a foster home setting but not so severe as to require hospitalization. D. How is this program an alternative to out-of-home placement? This facility will provide a local facility for those children who are unable to be maintained in their natural home, a regular foster home, or group home. This facility will provide an intensive program of behavioral modification with 24 hour structured routines and clinical care plan. As a result, behavior change will more likely result in a shorter period of time. 2. Program Description: This residential child care facility will provide 24 hour supervision. All clients will be in individual psychotherapy but the main focus will be group treatment. Structured living, group recreation and formal group therapy will be emphasized. Special education assistance, pre-vocational assessment, counseling, training and life skills education will be designed to fit the needs exhibited by each adolescent. Family therapy will be provided by clinical staff of the Weld Mental Health Center out-patient programs and will be fully coordinated with the Residential Child Care Facility treatment objectives. The maintenance of a structured therapeutic community will utilize peer support and confrontation as the primary source for group generated behavior change. The program staff will be interacters in that process and will be a major source for modeling and reinforcement. 2. Program Description continued SERVICE FREQUENCY STAFF OR PROVIDER COST ACTIVITIES OR DURATION CONTRACT RCCF Reserved monthly — 9 months Contract Weld Mental $122,400 Bed Space Health Ctr. TOTAL $122,400 PROGRAM COST PER CHILD $ 1,700 3.

Program Objectives: a. Process objectives Average number of children to be served per month — 10 Average length of time in program not to exceed 9 months. Average cost per month to serve child not to exceed — $1700. The treatment plan at discharge for at least 60% of the children served will call for a residence other than substitute care. b. Outcome objectives 60% of the adolescents who have intact family units capable of becoming a viable placement option will return to their families at the time of termination from the program. 80% of the adolescents without an intact family setting capable of meeting their needs and who could not be managed at a group or foster home at the time of their placement will be able to return to their group of foster home setting at the time of termination from the program. 85% of the adolescents leaving the program will move into less restrictive and costly placement settings than the RCCF. 80% of the adolescents in the program will show significant improvement in their levels of psychological and behavioral functioning by the time of termination from the program. 5. Program evaluation: A management information system (MIS) will be established to keep track of important descriptive information and data for each adolescent that enters the program. A history of prior placements, family status, educational history, and other key data will make it possible to assess the overall impact of the program. This basic information will also be needed to assess objectives related to placement into less restrictive settings and the percentages of adolescents who are able to be returned to home, foster home, or group home settings they resided in prior to placement in this program. Improvement in levels of psychological and behavior functioning will be assessed by means of the Colorado Client Assessment Record (CCAR) . The CCAR is currently used as an assessment instrument for all clients receiving services at community mental health centers and state psychiatric hospitals in Colorado. Ratings on adolescents functioning will be done at admission, monthly, and at termination. It is anticipated that there will be a significant degree of correlation between improvement or deterioration in levels of functioning scores and types of placements made for adolescents exiting this program. The date from the CCAR will be incorporated into the MIS in order to aid in evaluating the short and long term success of the program with the adolescents placed into the program. .
