PROGRAM #1 THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE
1. Describe Services to be Provided.
Children accepted into the Therapeutic Foster Care (T.F.C) Program will
be served by a team of professionals including the caseworker,
therapist, therapeutic foster parent, and school personnel. The T.F.C.
foster parents receive special training conducted by the caseworkers
and other outside professionals. This training consists of initial
didactic teaching and the reading of literature on attachment and
bonding. They are also shown how to chart behaviors and given
parenting handbooks and notebooks. There is ongoing training
consisting of meeting two times per month for two hours. Each foster
parent is required to attend these meetings.
Each child has one of two therapeutic foster care caseworkers as
his/her caseworker. The caseworker has case management
responsibilities. The caseworker works with the child, foster parents
and the family of origin. The therapist meets with the child on a
weekly or as needed basis and with the parents and child when that is
indicated. The foster parents who receive an additional stipend,
provide constant therapeutic intervention.
A quarterly staffing is held on each child in the program. The
staffing is coordinated by a professional other than a member of the
treatment team to lend objectivity. The treatment team consists of the
caseworker, therapeutic foster parent, therapist and the school
personnel working with the child at school. In so far as possible the
staffings allow for a uniform approach to the treatment of the child,
as well as keeping each team member appraised of the progress in other
areas.
The money designated for psychological services is used for
psychologicals for the children. It is also used for consultation on
specific cases as well as for purchased training on specific areas of
concern for specific children. The chairperson for the staffings is
paid with these funds.
2. List Objectives:
A permanency plan will be made for each child in Therapeutic Foster
Care in excess of 180 days in 100% of the cases. This will be either
1) filing for termination of parental right or 2) plans for custody to
a relative or alternate care provider or 3) plans to return the child
to his parents.
The parents will be able to improve in parenting skills and emotional
development so they are capable of raising their own children in 50% of
the cases.
2
930154
PROGRAM #1 THERAPEUTIC FOSTER CARE (Cont'd)
To improve social, emotional and behavioral components of the child's
life in 75% of the cases.
3. PAC Eligible Population:
Require Residential Child Care Facility (RCCF) intensity of care but
may be maintained at a least restrictive level of care with PAC
services. The cost of the PAC and placement care shall not exceed the
maximum RCCF rate.
4. Describe other Characteristics:
Therapeutic Foster Care serves emotionally disturbed children between
the ages of two and twelve. These children come from very
dysfunctional families. Some of the behaviors they exhibit include
sexual acting out, self-mutilation, encopresis, enuresis, feces
smearing and a wide range of attachment problems. Their behaviors are
too severe to be maintained in a traditional foster home. Twenty-two
children can be served each month. The average stay in T.F.C. is 24
months.
5. Maximum number of children to be served per month 22
6. Average number of families to be served each month is

PROPOSED CLIENT SERVICES PROGRAMS
PROGRAM 412 PARTNERS PLUS
1. Describe Services to be Provided.
Partners Plus serves Weld County youth, who are experiencing
significant problems of adjustment in their parental homes. Youth who
are determined by Social Services to meet the criteria for Placement
Alternative Programs are referred to Partners Plus. The youth are
assessed by the caseworker and Partner's staff as needing more than the
standard Partners program of three hours per week of one-to-one
contact, but still may be served without being moved into a more
restrictive placement. The caseworker has case management
responsibilities.
The senior partner receives a stipend for spending time with his junior
partner. The maximum rate is $300 per month for spending 40 hours
together during the month. The rate is prorated if fewer hours are
spent together. Partnerships stay in bi-weekly contact with the
Partners Plus counselor, and take part in many of the recreational,
educational, and therapeutic activities offered by Partners.
Partnerships spend a great deal of their time sharing their lives on a
one-on-one basis. The emphasis is on quality role-modeling,
friendship, and advocacy for the Junior Partner. The Partners program
provides the Partnership with ongoing life-skill training, crisis
counseling intervention, self-esteem building courses, and social
activities that promote positive alternatives. In addition, Partners
offers the services of a volunteer Health Corps, a team of physicians
and other medical personnel from the community, to provide low cost/no
cost medical assistance to the Junior Partner.
2. List Objectives:
The overall goal of the project is to prevent foster care placements
(or allow for less restrictive placements) by carefully matching
committed adults with the youth. Specific objectives for youth
involved in the project include:
1) 60% of all children served will remain in own home at conclusion
of PAC program;
2) 70% of all children involved will not be charged with a
delinquent offense while in the Partners Plus program;
3) 70% of all children served will maintain a relationship with
their Senior Partner after financial compensation has ended.
Each Partnership also develops specifically tailored goals and
objectives in order to assist with the child's development and coping
skills, and to help avoid placement.
3. PAC Eligible Population:
The children are in their own homes and meet the out-of-home placement
criteria.

PROGRAM #2 PARTNERS PLUS (Cont'd)
4. Describe Other Characteristics:
Youth ages 8 to 18 who are experiencing significant problems of
adjustment in their parental home are referred to Partners Plus. The
majority are experiencing school related problems and many have had
contact with the legal system. Most of the youth do not trust the
adult population and do not have positive adult role models. (Their
families are very dysfunctional and are extremely limited in providing
for the emotional needs of an acting out youth) . These youth are in
danger of being placed outside their home.

PROGRAM #3 PARENT ADVOCATE
1. Describe Services to be Provided.
The Parent Advocate Program matches a family Advocate with a family
referred by the Department of Social Services Child Protection Unit.
(Approximately 10 advocates are matched with 10 families. The advocate
spends up to 40 hours/month working with her family in the family home.
The Advocate works with the parents on parenting skills, reparenting
the parents, intrafamilial communication skills, as well as advocating
for the family in the community, when indicated. The Advocate is a
trained paid employee of Child Abuse Resource and Education.
The Advocate uses the Nurturing Parent Program by Dr. Stephen Bavoleh
as the spring board for the family/advocate interaction. The Advocate
spends time with the parent alone, the children alone, and the parent
and children together. The program places a heavy emphasis on the
positive growth of self and the strengthening of the family
relationships. The advocate works closely with the Department of
Social Services child protection caseworker to ensure that everyone is
working toward the goals of the treatment plan. The caseworker has
case management responsibilities.
2. List Objectives:
1) 75% of the parents served will demonstrate an increased ability
to display appropriate parent-child interaction as assessed by
the caseworker's and advocate's observation.

PROGRAM #3 PARENT ADVOCATE (Cont'd)
4. Describe other Characteristics:
The Parent Advocate Program serves families with from 1-5 children and
who are ages birth to 12. The target population for this program are
those children who have been identified by the Weld County Department
of Social Services as having an open child protective case and as being
at risk for out-of-home placement because of physical, emotional or
sexual abuse or neglect; or his or her continued presence in the home
is likely to result in physical or emotional injury if there is no
intervention. It also includes those children already in placement,
where intervention would enable the child to be returned home within 6
months. These dysfunctional families were originally referred to

PROGRAM 114 DAY TREATMENT
1. Describe Services to be Provided.
Day Treatment was designed to meet the needs of children who are too
disturbed to be educated in the public school system. Even with the
assistance of a full complement of special education service, they can not
be educated in the public schools. Although these children usually come
from highly dysfunctional families, it is believed that some of these
families, can be helped to enable the child to remain in their home.
Those who cannot remain at home are placed in a residential child care
facility (RCCF) with an on-ground school. The Day Treatment Program
provides a highly structured program designed to integrate the child's
experiences at home, school and in the community. Upon entry to the
program, the child's behavior patterns in all environments is assessed.
A team effort involving therapist, family and school personnel develops
and implements an individualized treatment and education program for the
child. Individual and group therapies provided by the counseling staff
are utilized as an integral part of the regular school program. Family
therapy and parenting instructions provided by the psychologist,
counselors, and consulting staff, are scheduled on a regular basis.
The families must be actively involved in the treatment of the child.
Therapy is provided on an ongoing basis for the child during the school
day. The family meets with the therapeutic staff at least once a week.
In order for the program to be beneficial, the parents, child and
treatment facility must work as a team to remediate the child's behavior
and emotional problems.
2. List Objectives:
1) 75% of the children served by the Day Treatment will demonstrate an
improved ability in his behavior and emotional growth.
2) 75% of the children discharged will return to regular classrooms at
their own schools.
3) The families will attend 75% of the family sessions.
3. PAC Eligible Population:
The child requires Residential Child Care Facility (RCCF) intensity of
care but may be maintained at a least restrictive level of care with PAC
services.

4. Describe other Characteristics:
Admission to Day Treatment is based upon the child whose behavior
indicates that an RCCF placement is likely. Children with severe
emotional problems and disturbed family relationships are appropriate
candidates for admission. Also children who have been physically or
sexually abused or neglected to the extent that they cannot function in a
conventional school setting are candidates for Day Treatment. School age
children 5-18 years of age who are also in need of specialized educational
settings are considered for admission.

PROPOSED CLIENT SERVICES PROGRAMS
PROGRAM #5 INTENSIVE SERVICES
1. Describe Services to be Provided.
Following the Homebuilders model, the Intensive Services Team will employ
two full-time staff of the Children and Family Services Program of the
Weld Mental Health Center to provide in-home treatment, case management,
educational, and related services to Weld County families who are in
imminent risk of having a child removed to an out-of-home placement and to
families who have already had a child placed out of the family home.
These families are in need of mental health services to achieve sufficient
stability to permit the child to be returned when such a return is in the
child's best interests. The risk of placement will arise from a crisis in
the family which severely threatens the family's ability to remain intact.
Through immediate, brief, and intensive services focussing on problem
identification, problem solving, and goal setting involving as many
members of the family as possible, and through linking the client families
with appropriate community resources, families will learn new and
effective coping strategies to enable the establishment of new levels of
stability, security and safety. In addition to remaining intact, families
completing the project will report and demonstrate improved communication
patterns and skills, marked reductions in the use of aggression and
violence within and outside the family, and increased levels of reliance
upon the family itself as a positive source of nurturance and support.
Two mental health therapists will be assigned to the program. They will
work with no more than two families per therapist at a time. Crisis
services will be available 24 hours per day, seven days per week to
provide screening, evaluation and assessment, intervention, and follow-up
planning to clients between the ages of birth to 18 years and their
families. Crisis services will be offered on a short-term basis,
focussing on those issues and problems precipitating the crisis and on
using the crisis to mobilize the youth and his or her family to develop
new ways to cope and prevent further crisis. It is expected that the
average period of involvement will be four to six weeks. Services will be
delivered in clients' homes, at the Weld County Shelter Home, at the Weld
County juvenile Detention Center, at the North Colorado Medical Center (to
include it's psychiatric inpatient unit, PsychCare) , in foster and group
homes, in the schools, or wherever necessary to optimize results.
2. List Objectives:
1) 85% of the families will remain in tact at the completion of service.
2) 90% of the families will report and demonstrate a marked reduction in
the use of violence and aggression within and outside the family.
3) 75% of the families will remain intact 12 months after services are
terminated.
4) 90% of discharged children will not enter another PAC Program after
discharge.
5) 90% of children served will be in a less costly placement at discharge
and 85% six months after discharge.

PROGRAM #6 YOUTH PASSAGES
1. Describe Services to be Provided.
Youth Passages Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program has been
designed to address the multifaceted needs of adolescents experiencing
significant emotional, behavioral, educational, interpersonal, and
familial problems. As such, it serves adolescents suffering from a wide
range of psychiatric disorders.
Each client will receive individual, milieu, group, experiential and
family therapy, as well as state certified education (via our BOCES school
program) . Routine psychological evaluation, provided to all clients in
the initial stage of treatment, includes a brief screening/assessment for
psychopathology via standardized psychological tests such as the Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality Inventory or the Millon Adolescent Personality
Inventory. Further psychological testing/evaluation and psychotropic
medications will be administered on an as needed basis. In addition,
psycho-educational classes covering a wide variety of issues and skills
(ie: assertiveness training, drug and alcohol use, problem solving,
relaxation training, etc. ) are offered. All clients are case managed by
a Master's or Doctoral Level mental health professional and are seen
routinely by a psychiatrist. The therapeutic community is strengthened by
a daily community meetings and a behavior modification system. By
addressing client's individual and family needs with this intensive multi-
modal approach, it is believed that those clients at risk for out-of-home
placement can be prevented.
Youth Passages utilizes a medical model approach with a multidisciplinary
staff. Currently, Youth Passages is staffed with a board certified
child/adolescent psychiatrist, a Doctoral level psychologist (Program
Coordinator) , a Master's level affective needs teacher, a Master's level
mental health therapist, a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist,
and a Psychiatric Team Assistant. Program hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. Monday through Friday with family therapy scheduled on an individual
basis. A case management system is utilized. The Program Coordinator
will be responsible for all client tracking and reporting requirements.
Clinical and educational staffings are held at least once every two weeks
to coordinate treatment and discharge planning. All agencies involved in
the adolescent's care are invited to attend and participate in these
staffings. There is no risk of duplication of services, given that Youth
Passages is the sole county provider of adolescent partial hospitalization
programming.
2. List Objectives:
1) By the time of discharge 75% of clients will not be dangerous to
themselves or others thereby enabling them to function within the
community at large.
2) 75% of clients families will consistently and actively engage in
treatment planning, family therapy and program activities.
3) 75% of clients will continue education in a state approved school
after discharge.
