Home Based Intensive Family Intervention
Lutheran Family Services of Colorado
LIFE Program
1. 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
which 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.
Lutheran Intensive Family Empowerment (LIFE) program is a program component of the LFS
Foster Care Program. LFS's Foster Care Program has been providing out of home care services
to this region since 1993 and specializes in establishing permanency for children experiencing
significant emotional and behavioral impairments. The LIFE program utilizes a comprehensive
team approach for families in need of family preservation services. The LFS treatment team will
consist of a Program Therapist and a Treatment Coordinator, The LIFE program is designed to
promote the safety and well being of children and their families. Services will build upon primary
family connections and to help parents improve their parenting abilities, identify parental
strengths and support their efforts to provide care for their children. The program will expedite
the return of children to their family and assist in creating a stable and nurturing family
environment in which children can grow and develop. If children are returning to their permanent
home from out of home care we intend to help them reintegrate and stabilize in the family
system as soon as possible. The goal is to improve both individual and family functioning We
will provide crisis intervention services throughout the duration of the families' involvement with
our agency.
LIFE program staff will attend formal training in the Family Based Decision Making model and
mediation. These intervention tools will be implemented throughout our programs, including the
LIFE program.
The LIFE program will utilize the Family Risk Assessment Scales to assess the family's nut of
home placement risk areas. This will enable the program to individualize services for each
family's specific needs.
II. TARGET/ELIGIBILITY POPULATIONS:
Families considered appropriate for these services are those in which family members are facing
problems that have affected their well-being, safety, psychosocial growth and development, and
family stability. Families mandated or referred by the courts will be considered for the LIFE
program contingent upon their willingness to participate in and ability to profit by participation in
such services. Primary caregivers must demonstrate a desire to maintain family relationships
and must possess the mental stability to utilize home based services. Eligible families will be
screened by the referring DSS worker to insure that they meet the eligibility criteria for Program
Areas 4, 5 or 6 target groups. Children will be at imminent risk of out of home placement or
have been removed from the home and imminent return is expected. Clients will not be eligible
if they can be successfully treated with less intensive service programs and those services have
not yet been tried. The provision of services will have a reasonable possibility of diminishing or
ameliorating the problematic behaviors/issues in the home. There must be a manageable level
of risk of harm to the child and/or among family members. The LIFE program is considered a
more intensive level of care than the LFS Intensive Family Therapy program.
The LIFE program has the ability to serve 8 families at any given time. If each family is served
for the estimated 3 months, we would be able to serve 32 families each year. (8 families x 4
quarters = 32). If family specific time extensions are granted, the overall number of families
served would be reduced. If we assume that half the families are two parent families and each
family has 2.5 children, we would serve 128 clients. (16 families x 2.5 children and 1 adult = 56
plus 16 families x 2.5 children and 2 adults = 72 for a total of 128). The LIFE program can serve
children and their families where children are ages 0-18 although our program's established
specialty has been with pre-adolescent children. We currently do not have any
bilingual/bicultural staff members, however, we will attempt to recruit a staff member with these
attributes if the need presented itself. We are unable to predict the number of individuals who
will receive services in South County as we do not know what the referral statistics are. We are
willing to travel to South County to provide services when financially feasible (we may need a
couple of families at any given time to help minimize the cost of travel). All clients will have
access to 24 hour crisis intervention services_ The monthly average capacity is 8 families as this
is the ongoing program capacity. The expected length of services is 12 weeks The LIFE
program is specifically designed to be short term and time limited in nature, with a length of
service of three months or less in order to focus on the priority issues which have placed the
2
family at risk of dissolution. DSS may purchase services for another 1-3 month period of time if
the need for services can be clinically justified.
III. TYPES OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
Intake Assessment
The LIFE program staff will be responsible for screening referrals to the program. There will be
an acknowledgment of the referral within 4-6 hours with a tentative judgment as to the
appropriateness of the family for services. If the initial information from the referring worker is
adequate to make initial assessment that the family is appropriate for services, then the family
will be contacted within a maximum of 48 hours to set up an appointment for the team to meet
with the family team (which will include the family, the LIFE treatment team, significant others in
the family's life, the DSS caseworker, etc.). The intent of this initial meeting will be to tentatively
evaluate risk factors (Family Risk Assessment Scales), to inform the family of the intervention
strategies which the program will implement and to gain beginning agreement to proceed with
the services offered.
Home Based Therapy
The clinical philosophy that drives our practice is that we will provide services in the families
environment whenever possible and appropriate. We believe that this treatment approach
reduces the stress on the family by reducing the need for the family to adjust to our environment.
We believe that we can provide more appropriate treatment in the family's 'natural environment',
their home, their church, their school, etc. The second primary philosophy that directs our
practice is that we will build on the strengths of the family and will utilize a strength based model
of treatment and intervention.
In home therapy will be provided by the LFS treatment team (a Program Therapist and a
Treatment Coordinator). The treatment team will provide a minimum of 4 hours of direct service
to the family per week. Weekly family sessions will be directed at resolving the issues identified
in the Family Risk Assessment Scales through utilization of the Family Group Decision Making
Model; mediation services; family, individual and conjoint therapy; and support groups.
Concrete Services
The clinical team will assist the family in identifying and utilizing stress management techniques
and will provide individualized instruction in parenting skills with particular attention given to
managing any problematic child behaviors. LFS also has a parent education program available
which may be accessed by families when appropriate.
z
Collateral Services
The clinical team will assist the family and their support network in accessing and utilizing
community resources to deal with particular risk areas identified (ex: access to health care,
housing, employment). The family's effective use of community resources is an imperative goal
within this program as accessing resources is generally a core issue for families who have
achieved a level of stress intensive enough to warrant a referral for family preservation services.
Concrete problems frequently lead to stress which concomitantly interferes with resource
management and most frequently leads to neglectful or abusive coping behaviors in parenting.
Crisis Intervention Services
The LIFE program staff will be available on a 24 hour basis. All clinical staff carries pagers and
can respond to a crisis within 30 minutes.
All families served in the LIFE program will receive services from all four service areas listed
above. We believe that the circumstances that are serious enough to warrant referral to family
preservation services are multi-faceted and require comprehensive interventions.
IV MEASURABLE OUTCOMES
(Based in part on county defined objectives)
The LIFE program will utilize the Family Risk Scales in measuring the efficacy of the program.
The Family Risk Scales were designed as a standardized measure of a child's risk of entering
foster care The risk variables measured by the scales are those believed to contribute to or
precipitate the need for out of home placement. Changes in a family's risk status may be
determined by rating the scales two or more times (pre and post tests). The overall outcome
objective of the program is to reduce the risk of the need for out of home placement. The
measurement of the achievement of this objective will be obtained through completion of the
Family Risk Scales. There are 26 risk factors included in the Family Risk Scales, the scales are:
1. Habitability of Family Residence
2. Suitability of Living Conditions
3. Financial Problems
4. Adult Relationships in Household
5. Family's Social Support
6. Parent's Physical•Health
7. Parent's Mental Health
8. Knowledge of Child Care and Development
9. Parent's Substance Abuse
10. Parent's Motivation for Problem Solving
11. Parent's Attitude to Preventing Placement
12. Client's Cooperation with Agency
13. Preparation for Parenthood
14. Supervision of Child Under Age 10
15. Parenting of Child Age 10 and Over
16. Physical Punishment of Child
17. Verbal Discipline of Child
18. Emotional Care and Stimulation of Infant (Under 2 Years)
19. Emotional Care and Stimulation of child Age 2 and Older
20. Physical Needs of Child
21. Sexual Abuse of Child
22. Child's Physical Health and Disabilities
23. Child's Mental Health
24. Child's School Adjustment
25. Child's Delinquent Behavior
26. Child's Home-Related Behavior.
The Family Risk Assessment Scales will be used with the family at the onset of treatment to
pinpoint the family's specific intervention needs. The tool may be used throughout the course of
treatment to measure the family's movement toward amelioration of the highest risk concerns.
The Family Risk Assessment Scales will be completed immediately prior to program completion
in order to measure the change in the family's functioning and/or circumstances.
The child's living arrangements will be documented at the time the case is closed. (Is the child
still in the home?) The LIFE program staff will develop a follow up contact sheet which will
include the objectives listed by the department, i.e.: Is the child still in the home? Has there
been substantiated abuse/neglect in this family? An aftercare plan for each family will be
developed which includes referral to a less intensive family counseling program and/or the use of
informal and community resources, such as family self help groups or networks for those who
wish such a connection. A system of follow-up at specified points after case closing will also be
developed. This system will check that the recommended supports and services which were
wanted by the families are in place During the course of the follow up contact, the follow up
contact sheet will be used to document the status of the objectives defined by the department
V. SERVICE OBJECTIVES
The four minimum service objectives that the department would like to have assessed are
inherent in the Family Risk Assessment Scales. The Family Risk Assessment Scales provides
5
•
more detailed assessment of the family's risk areas and will satisfy this criteria. The risk factors
are listed in the section immediately prior to this one.
VI. WORKLOAD STANDARDS
The LIFE program uses a team approach to the provision of intensive home based services. We
will assign two professional staff members to each family. Each staff member has a maximum
caseload of eight families. The treatment team will provide a total of four hours of direct
services to the family each week, for a total of seventeen hours of direct services per month (4 x
4.3 = 17). We are prepared to offer services to a maximum of eight families at a time. We are
willing to expand this program so that we can serve more families if the department presents the
need. We currently have ten staff members who are qualified to provide these services. As
mentioned earlier, the LIFE program is a program component of the LFS foster care program so
the staff may carry foster care cases as well as family preservation cases. Our supervision
standard is one FTE supervisor for every six FTE professional staff members.
VII. STAFF QUALIFICATIONS
Direct service providers assigned to this program are qualified by one of the following:
• a master's degree in social work or a master's degree in another human service field and at
least two years of pre- or post-master's experience in family and children's services; and/or
• a bachelor's degree in social work or a bachelor's degree in another human service field and
at least three years' post-degree experience in family and children's services
If we are awarded a contract with the department we will secure new caseworker training and the
state Home Based Intensive Family Services training. The staff will be trained in the use of the
risk assessment scale used by the county department of social services as well as the Family
Risk Assessment Scales. We currently have the following staff available to provide direct
services in this program:
Pam Inberg, BSW Joe Madrid, LCSW
Marilyn Welburn, BSW Julie Courtney, LCSW
Wynnie Wahlfeldt, MA Kathy McLeod, LCSW
Mary Klopfenstein, BSW Randy Mergler, MS
Kathy Lees, MSW Candidate Kathy Lerch, MS
We also believe that we will be hiring 2-6 new staff members over the next year They MI meet
the minimum staff qualifications listed above.

Intensive Family Therapy
Lutheran Family Services of Colorado
Intensive Family Therapy
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
which 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.
Lutheran Family Services' Intensive Family Therapy (IFT) program is a program component of
the LFS Foster Care Program. LFS's Foster Care Program has been providing out of home care
services to this region since 1993 and specializes is establishing permanency for children
experiencing significant emotional and behavioral impairments. The IFT program is designed to
promote the safety and well being of children and their family members. Services will build upon
primary family connections and to help parents improve their parenting abilities, identify parental
strengths and support their efforts to provide care for their children. The program will expedite
the return of children to their family and assist in creating a stable and nurturing family
environment in which children can grow and develop. If children are returning to their permanent
home from out of home care we intend to help them reintegrate and stabilize in the family
system as soon as possible. The program goal is to improve both individual and family
functioning. We will provide crisis intervention services throughout the duration of the families'
involvement with our agency.
IFT staff will attend formal training in the Family Based Decision Making model and mediation.
These intervention tools will be implemented throughout our programs, including the IFT
program.
The IFT program will utilize the Family Risk Assessment Scales to assess the family's out of
home placement risk areas, this will enable the program to individualize services for each
family's specific needs. Additionally, we will be using the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklists,
when appropriate, to assess problematic behaviors, if any, presented by the children in the
family. We have the ability to administer the SASSI (substance abuse screening) when
warranted.
II. TARGET/ELIGIBILITY POPULATIONS:
Families considered appropriate for these services are those in which family members are facing
problems that have affected their well-being, safety, psychosocial growth and development, and
family stability. Families mandated or referred by the courts will be considered for the IFT
program contingent upon their willingness to participate in and ability to profit by participation in
such services. Primary caregivers must demonstrate a desire to maintain family relationships
and must possess the mental stability to utilize home based services. Eligible families will be
screened by the referring DSS worker to insure that they meet the eligibility criteria for Program
Areas 4, 5 or 6 target groups. Children will be at imminent risk of out of home placement or
have been removed from the home and imminent return is expected. Clients will not be eligible
if they can be successfully treated with less intensive service programs and those services have
not yet been tried. Families appropriate for this program should be able to benefit from services
that are primarily therapeutic in nature (vs. concrete and collateral). The provision of services
will have a reasonable possibility of diminishing or ameliorating the problematic behaviors/issues
in the home. There must be a manageable level of risk of harm to the child and/or among family
members. The IFT program is considered a less intensive program than Lutheran's LIFE
program.
The IFT program has the ability to serve 8 families at any given time. If each family is served
for the estimated 3 months, we would be able to serve 32 families each year. (8 families x 4
quarters = 32). If family specific time extensions are granted, the overall number of families
served would be reduced. If we assume that half the families are two parent families and each
family has 2.5 children, we would serve 128 clients. (16 families x 2.5 children and 1 adult = 56
plus 16 families x 2.5 children and 2 adults = 72 for a total of 128). The IFT program can serve
children and their families where children are ages 0-18 although our program's established
specialty has been with pre-adolescent children. We currently do not have any
bilingual/bicultural staff members, however, we will attempt to recruit a staff member with these
attributes if the need presented itself. We are unable to predict the number of individuals who
will receive services in South County as we do not know what the referral statistics are. We are
willing to travel to South County to provide services when financially feasible (we may need a
couple of families at any given time to help minimize the cost of travel). All clients will have
access to 24 hour crisis intervention services. The monthly average capacity is 8 families as this
is the ongoing program capacity. The expected length of services is 12 weeks. The IFT
program is specifically designed to be short term and time limited in nature, with a length of
service of three months or less in order to focus on the priority issues which have placed the
2
family at risk of dissolution. DSS may purchase services for another 1-3 month period of time if
the need for services can be clinically justified.
III. TYPES OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
Intake Assessment
The IFT program staff will be responsible for screening referrals to the program. There will be an
acknowledgment of the referral within 4-6 hours with a tentative judgment as to the
appropriateness of the family for services. If the initial information from the referring worker is
adequate to make initial assessment that the family is appropriate for services, then the family
will be contacted within a maximum of 48 hours to set up an appointment for the therapist to
meet with the family team (which will include the family, the IFT therapist, significant others in
the family's life, the DSS caseworker, etc.). The intent of this initial meeting will be to tentatively
evaluate risk factors (Family Risk Assessment Scales), to inform the family of the intervention
strategies which the program will implement and to gain beginning agreement to proceed with
the services offered.
Home Based Therapy
The clinical philosophy that drives our practice is that we will provide services in the families
environment whenever possible and appropriate. We believe that this treatment approach
reduces the stress on the family by reducing the need for the family to adjust to our environment.
We believe that we can provide more appropriate treatment in the family's 'natural environment',
their home, their church, their school, etc. The second primary philosophy that directs our
practice is that we will build on the strengths of the family and will utilize a strength based model
of treatment and intervention.
In home therapy will be provided by a Program Therapist. The Program Therapist will provide a
minimum of 2 hours of direct service to the family per week. Weekly family therapy sessions will
be designed to provide comprehensive, diagnostic and treatment planning with the family and
other service providers. Therapeutic interventions will be flexible enough to bring in other
service providers, if needed. The preponderance of services provided in this program will fall
into this category. Therapy will be designed to resolve conflicts and disagreements within the
family and to enhance parenting skills and overall family functioning.
3
Concrete Services
The Program Therapist will assist the family in identifying and utilizing stress management
techniques and will provide individualized instruction in parenting skills with particular attention
given to managing any problematic child behaviors. LFS also has a parent education program
available which may be accessed by families when appropriate.
Collateral Services
The Program Therapist will assist the family and their support network in accessing and utilizing
community resources to deal with particular risk areas identified (ex: access to health care,
housing, employment). The family's effective use of community resources is an imperative goal
within this program as accessing resources is generally a core issue for families who have
achieved a level of stress intensive enough to warrant a referral for family preservation services.
Concrete problems frequently lead to stress which concomitantly interferes with resource
management and most frequently leads to neglectful or abusive coping behaviors in parenting.
Crisis Intervention Services
The IFT program staff will be available on a 24 hour basis. All clinical staff carries pagers and
can respond to a crisis within 1 hour.
All families served in the IFT program will receive therapy services and crisis intervention
services. As time permits, support and facilitation of concrete and collateral services will be
offered.
IV MEASURABLE OUTCOMES
(Based in part on county defined objectives)
The IFT program will utilize the Family Risk Scales and the Achenbach Child Behavioral Check
Lists in measuring the efficacy of the program. The Achenbach Child Behavioral Check Lists
measures the caregiver's, teacher's and child's assessment of the child's problematic behaviors.
The Family Risk Scales were designed as a standardized measure of a child's risk of entering
foster care. The risk variables measured by the scales are those believed to contribute to or
precipitate the need for out of home placement. Changes in a family's risk status may be
determined by rating the scales two or more times (pre and post tests). Changes in the child's
functioning may be determined by using the Achenbach two or more times (pre and post tests)
The overall outcome objective of the program is to reduce the risk of the need for out of home
placement. The measurement of the achievement of this objective will be obtained through
completion of the Family Risk Scales. There are 26 risk factors included in the Family Risk
Scales, the scales are:
4
1. Habitability of Family Residence
2. Suitability of Living Conditions
3. Financial Problems
4. Adult Relationships in Household
5. Family's Social Support
6. Parent's Physical Health
7. Parent's Mental Health
8. Knowledge of Child Care and Development
9. Parent's Substance Abuse
10. Parent's Motivation for Problem Solving
11. Parent's Attitude to Preventing Placement
12. Client's Cooperation with Agency
13. Preparation for Parenthood
14. Supervision of Child Under Age 10
15. Parenting of Child Age 10 and Over
16. Physical Punishment of Child
17. Verbal Discipline of Child
18. Emotional Care and Stimulation of Infant (Under 2 Years)
19. Emotional Care and Stimulation of child Age 2 and Older
20. Physical Needs of Child
21. Sexual Abuse of Child
22. Child's Physical Health and Disabilities
23. Child's Mental Health
24. Child's School Adjustment
25. Child's Delinquent Behavior
26. Child's Home-Related Behavior.
The Family Risk Assessment Scales and the Achenbach Checklists will be used with the family
at the onset of treatment to pinpoint the family's specific intervention needs. The tools may be
used throughout the course of treatment to measure the family's movement toward amelioration
of the highest risk concerns. The Family Risk Assessment Scales and the Achenbach Checklists
will be completed immediately prior to program completion in order to measure the expected
improvement in the family and child's functioning.
The child's living arrangements will be documented at the time the case is closed. (Is the child
still in the home?) The IFT program staff will develop a follow up contact sheet which will
include the objectives listed by the department, i.e.: is the child still in the home? Has there
5
been substantiated abuse/neglect in this family? An aftercare plan for each family will be
developed which includes referral to a less intensive family counseling program and/or the use of
informal and community resources, such as family self help groups or networks for those who
wish such a connection. A system of follow-up at specified points after case closing will also be
developed. This system will check that the recommended supports and services which were
wanted by the families are in place. During the course of the follow up contact, the follow up
contact sheet will be used to document the status of the objectives defined by the department.
V. SERVICE OBJECTIVES
The three minimum service objectives that the department would like to have assessed are
inherent in the Family Risk Assessment Scales. The Family Risk Assessment Scales provides
more detailed assessment of the family's risk areas and will satisfy this criteria. The risk factors
are listed in the section immediately prior to this one.
VI. WORKLOAD STANDARDS
A Program Therapist will be assigned to each family accepted into the program. We are
prepared to offer services to a maximum of eight families at a time. We currently have six staff
members who are qualified to provide these services. As mentioned earlier, the IFT program is
a program component of the LFS foster care program so the staff may carry foster care cases as
well as family preservation cases. Our supervision standard is one FTE supervisor for every six
FTE professional staff members.
VII. STAFF QUALIFICATIONS
Direct service providers assigned to this program are qualified by one of the following:
• a master's degree in social work or a master's degree in another human service field and at
least two years of pre- or post-master's experience in family and children's services; and/or
• a bachelor's degree in social work or a bachelor's degree in another human service field and
at least six years' post-degree experience in family and children's services.
All staff has expertise in family therapy as demonstrated by specialized training and/or
experience. All staff in this program will be required to secure a minimum of eight hours per
year of continuing education training. All staff will receive weekly supervision from a supervisor
experienced in Intensive Family Therapy. The clinical supervisor will be required to secure a
minimum of ten hours per year of continuing education training.
We currently have the following staff available to provide direct services in this program:
Randy Mergler, MS Joe Madrid, LCSW
Marilyn Welburn, BSW Julie Courtney, LCSW
Kathy McLeod, LCSW Kathy Lorch, MS
6
We also believe that we will be hiring 2-6 new staff members over the next year. They will meet
the minimum staff qualifications listed above.
