I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Dream Team Life Skills Program will provide a multi-faceted approach to working
with parents and their children in an effort to reunite the family. The Project would be
available to parents referred by the Weld County Department of Social Services who
have had their child / children removed from the home and are in the process of
working toward reunification of their family. Services would be provided to families
that have at least one child who has been scheduled for supervised visits and are able
to transport themselves to visits in the Greeley - Evans community. The Project would
contract to serve up to 20 families with average length of stay in the program of 6
months. Four Family Facilitators will provide the Project services as well as be
available to provide court testimony on behalf of the participants. Two of the Family
Facilitators can provide bilingual services. All participants will be required to sign a
contract with the Dream Team, outlining the requirements for participation.
1. Supervised Visitation
A Family Facilitator will be assigned to each family within 24 hours of the
referral and commencement of direct services will be attempted within 5 days. In the
past, we have had difficulty contacting the referring Caseworker, one or both parents
and/or foster parents. We do not initiate service until we have received paperwork in
our office. Many times a caseworker contacts us by phone regarding a case, but does
not get paperwork to us for several days and in some cases up to a week. We have
also experienced a phone referral with no follow up paperwork. Our goal and
commitment is to arrange the time and location of the supervised visitation sessions
and provide the initial visit within 5 days of the receipt of the referral paperwork in our
office. Each visitation would last for a minimum of 1 hour followed by a short
conference time with the parent to discuss the visit. Visitations would be held at one of
our established sites: United Presbyterian Church, Dos Rios Headstart and United
Methodist Church. The location is determined based on the number of children
involved in the visitation as well as their ages. Two of our locations are held in
preschool rooms which provide a variety of materials and equipment that work well
with children ages 0 - 7. The Dos Rios Facility is equipped with furniture and materials
that adequately serve children ages 6 - 12. Visitations can be scheduled for day time
or early evening, Monday - Saturday, to facilitate working parents. Special
arrangements have been made for a Sunday visit. Transportation requests are dealt
on a case by case basis with the Caseworker and the Program Supervisor or with the
Family Facilitator directly.
2. Parent Education
The Dream Team refers clients to Child Advocacy Resource and Education
(c.a.r.e.) for their parenting classes. c.a.r.e. provides a range of classes and
schedules, providing parents with more choices to fit their needs.
The Family Facilitators do dedicate a minimum of 30 minutes per week to discuss
parenting and child development issues with the parents following one of their
visitation sessions. They also model / mentor appropriate interactions with children
during the visitation sessions. Our First and Foremost Video Series is also made
available to parents to view at their home or during the 30 minute period and then
discussed. We have developed and adopted a new LIFE SKILLS INVENTORY
ASSESSMENT - LSIA (copy in Attachments) to determine areas of strength and
deficit, allowing facilitators additional material such as budgets, menu planning,
personal hygiene and housing with which to work on strengthening responsible
parenting.
II. TARGET / ELIGIBILITY POPULATIONS
A. Total number of clients do he served in the 12 - month program
Our project can provide service for up to 20 family units as screened and
referred by Department of Social Services. These families will consist of one or two
parents and one or more children.
B. Total individual clients and the children's ages
At least 20 adults and 20 children under the age of 15 years
C. Total family units
The project will serve up to 20 family units as screened and referred by
Department of Social Services.
D. Sub-total of individuals who will receive bicultural / bilingual services
Our project can accommodate at least 10 families with bicultural and bilingual
services if necessary, as two of the Family Facilitators are bicultural and bilingual.
E. Sub-total of individuals who will receive services in South Weld
County.
Our project will only serve individuals who can transport themselves to the
Greeley / Evans community for their visits.
F. The monthly maximum program capacity
15 families, depending on the number of visits required per week
G. The lily average capacity
12 families
II. Average stay in the program (weeks'
24 weeks
I. Average I s per week in the program
3 hours
III. TYPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
A. Teaching. leling. demonstrating. and coaching as an interactive
process with the clients.
Each of the project components offer opportunities for teaching and modeling
with the parents. The weekly supervised visitation sessions will be designed to
incorporate modeling with the parent regarding developmentally appropriate activities
and interactions with their child. The Family Facilitator may model the use of different
toys or materials that the parent may use with the child during the visitation session.
These demonstrations help build the parents repertoire of things they can do with their
child that are fun and help build positive bonds between the parent and the child.
When appropriate, parents are provided with developmental charts explaining the
physical, emotional, and social expectations for each of their children.
Teaching and modeling opportunities are also a main focus of the parent
education time that is spent with the Family Facilitator each week. The Facilitators
provide and discuss information regarding child development and appropriate
parenting techniques. They also provide information on life skills issues such as
cleanliness, health and nutrition.
II. Training in household management. including budgeting. cleaning.
maintenance. purchasing. menu planning. food preparat'
Training in household information will be facilitated with all parents through
conversation during the 30 minute parent time that will be incorporated in the
supervised visitation schedule. The Family Facilitator will be able to assess through
our LIFE SKILLS INVENTORY ASSESSMENT the parents abilities as the supervision
is initiated. This ASSESSMENT will be reviewed every 3 months with the families
who are in our program. As skills are acquired, families will be offered information on
additional areas of concern. Facilitators will share information regarding household
management and assign tasks such as developing a budget or planning a nutritious
meal to the parent and then review it with them the next week. The Family Facilitator
spends a number of hours with each family, optimizing the observing of management
behaviors such as nutritious snacks provided during visits or the appropriateness of
gifts with in the parents budget. The Family Facilitator may also schedule a separate
meeting with a a parent, as approved by the caseworker and outlined in the treatment
plan, to discuss a particular household management issue that has come to her
attention. She may additionally refer the parent to another community agency that
deals exclusively with these issues.
C. Teaching child rearing and discipline; parenting.
The parent education time and the debriefing time with the parents following
visitations, is used to discuss child rearing and discipline techniques. The Family
Facilitators document appropriate and inappropriate interactions between the parent
and child and discuss these issues with the parents following the visitation. They also
model and mentor appropriate discipline techniques with the parents during their
visitation sessions. Using physical force or threats of force as a form of discipline are
not tolerated during visitation sessions. The Family Facilitators intervene immediately
if the parent engages in this type of activity and suggest or demonstrate alternative
forms of discipline. Where this behavior continues, the visit is terminated and the
caseworker is contacted immediately.
D. Teaching how to establish community linkages / advocacy and
making use of services.
The Family Facilitators will serve as the primary person responsible for assisting
the participants with establishing community linkages and utilizing community
services. The Facilitator will make appropriate referrals and follow up with the
participants regarding their visits. All of the participating families will be assigned a
Family Facilitator to work with for the duration of the program.
E. De strafing tiring / esteem role- leling
Each of the Family Facilitators are very nurturing individuals that exhibit high
self esteem within themselves. Their positive self-concepts are modeled in each
interaction with families, in an effort to boost the self esteem and confidence of the
parents and children.
IV. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES
A. Improvement of I ehold management competency as measured by
pre and post assessment instruments.
Our source to evaluate household management competency is through the
initial interview, observations of the Family Facilitator and our LIFE SKILLS
INVENTORY ASSESSMENT (LSIA) tool. The LSIA is designed through self reporting,
to assess daily living skills at intake, again at an established mid-point and finally at
the exit. Upon completion of facilitation with each family, each Facilitator will provide a
summary of concerns, work accomplished and recommendations for future
interventions when appropriate. A simple rating scale will be utilized by the Family
Facilitator to document the progress the parent has made all areas. The Family
Facilitator will be making weekly observations and document concerns and
accomplishments to be kept on file to utilize in monthly progress reports. The LSIA will
be available to the caseworker for treatment planning and monitoring.
B. Improvement of parental competency as measured by pre post
assessment instruments.
The Life Skills Project will continue to use the Adult -Adolescent Parenting
Inventory / AAPI by Stephen J. Bavolek as a pre and post instrument for parental
competency. The inventory is designed to assess the parenting and childrearing
attitudes of adults. The pretest would be administered to parents when they begin the
group and the post-test would be administered at the end of the six month period or
whenever the parent exits the program. The Family Facilitator will also use her
observations during the visitation sessions to monitor the progress parents are making
in assimilating what they are learning during the visitations and designated parent
education time. Observations and other pertinent information will be documented in
the family file.
/'. Parents can independently work with other sources in the c • y
and within the local, state. and federal governments.
Family Facilitators will use an agency developed pre and post survey to
evaluate knowledge that families have gained concerning access and utilization of
resources. The survey is a simple listing of agencies and organizations that parents
may utilize. The parent checks the organizations that they are familiar with as well as
if they have utilized the service. The survey is administered when a parent is admitted
to the program and when they exit the program. The post -test survey will be
administered when a family exits the program to determine the knowledge gained
regarding local resources. In addition to the survey, the Family Facilitator documents
referrals made to the parents as well as the follow-through on the part of the parent.
The goal would be to introduce parents to a minimum of two new community resources
that they could utilize.
D. Families receiving life skills services will remain intact six uu►nlhs
after discharge of the services.
Our goal is that a minimum of 80% of the families remain intact six months after
discharge. The Family Facilitators have provided transition services to families for up
to 60 days after the family has been reunited. This has consisted of weekly visits to the
home to monitor the progress of the family. This service has been implemented upon
the request of the Caseworker. The outcome is also dependent on the Caseworker's
treatment plan and families compliance with visitation guidelines.
E. F 'lies / participants who complete the Life Skills Services will have
improved competency level or reduced risk on standardized assessment
such as the risk assessment t I.
We implement a mid-point evaluation with the parents and the Family Facilitator
to assess if the services provided are meeting the needs of the parents. A final written
(oral if the parent is unable to write) assessment to highlight the skills that the parent
has mastered over the course of the Project will be completed at the exit interview.
V. SERVICE OBJECTIVES
A. Improve Household 3Ianagement competency - capacity of parents to
provide safe household enviromnent for their children through
competent household cleaning and maintenance, budgeting and
purchasing.
We administer the LIFE SKILLS INVENTORY ASSESSMENT (LSIA) at the
initial intake, at a predetermined mid - point, and again at the exit interview.
Facilitators provide assessment and training of these services through a multifaceted
approach that includes supervised visitation sessions and individual parent time.
Each of these components will teach and foster new household management
techniques in the areas of emergency and safety skills, money management and
consumer awareness, personal appearance and hygiene, health issues,
housekeeping and maintenance, food management, housing concerns, transportation.
Progress will be monitored through the pre and post assessments as well as through
monthly progress reports that will be sent to the Caseworker. All participants will be
involved in this service area.
II. Improve Parental Competency - capacity of parents to nu►intain
sound relationships with their children and provide care. nutrit'
hygiene. discipline, protection, instruct' s and superv'.''
The individual parent time as well as visitation sessions with the Family
Facilitator will be utilized to enhance parenting skills and foster positive parent / child
interactions. Progress will be monitored through the pre and post test data on the
LSIA as well as during weekly visitation sessions when the Family Facilitator will
observe and document the extent that the parent is utilizing the parenting information
they learn in sessions. All project participants will be required to participate in
parenting activities that will improve their parental competency.
C. Improve Ability to Access Resources - services shall assist parents to
work with other sources in the c 'ay and the local. state and
federal governments.
The Family Facilitators will assist the families in gaining knowledge concerning
community resources and how to access the resources. Information about community
resources will be conveyed to the participants in the individual parent time as well as
in visitation sessions with the Family Facilitator. Progress will be monitored again on
the LSIA and by the Family Facilitator utilizing the pre and post assessment and
weekly visits with the parents concerning the awareness and usage of community
resources.

Re: RFP 99005 Lifeskills
Dear Mr. Aldridge:
The following information is in response to the recommendations listed in your letter of
May 14, 1999 concerning the above bid.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.) Consider developing a transportation program for children.
In reviewing the additional information submitted to you last year, Ms. Ruth stated that we
could provide limited transportation to parents in the Greeley/Evans area for parenting
groups. However, in the past year there has been only one occasion where transportation
was needed to transport a parent. She also stated that transportation needs would be dealt
with on a case by case basis with the Caseworker; so far we have not had any.
Developing a transportation program for children is an excellent recommendation. Since
transportation issues create many barriers in accessing services, the Greeley Dream Team
would very much like to explore this recommendation. However, we would need to allow
sufficient time to follow up on costs,liabilities,collaboration, and board approval. At this
time we are unable to accept your worthwhile recommendation. But because of your
recommendation we will begin to look at possible options in order to address this in the
future.
2.) Review the community resources list. Refer to WIRS Directory.
Having referred to the WIRS Directory we compiled the list of community resources in
Attachment D of our bid. We are attempting to secure our own copy of the WIRS
Directory and will add some additional resources, including transportation resources.
Perhaps a brief description of the agencies listed on our resource list might also be helpful
to the customer. We will follow up on that.
Again, thank you for the recommendation. If you need further clarification, please call my
office, 351-6410.
