IN RE: PROBATE COURT - OAKLAND COUNTY CHILD CARE FUND BUDGET 1996-1997 -
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance and Personnel Committee having reviewed Miscellaneous
Resolution #96191 reports as follows:
1. This Child Care Fund application covers the period October 1,
1996 through September 30, 1997, and is necessary for the County
to be eligible for Child Care Fund reimbursement from the State of
Michigan.
2. The figures provided are estimates based on current available
data and may not reflect the eventual adopted budget and/or
expenditures for the program.
3. The application reflects $18,421,090 in gross expenditures and
$3,490,750 in offsetting revenues, with the net expenditure
estimated to be $14,930,340,an increase of $769,711 or 5.4% over
the 1995-1996 net expenditure.
4. The State has indicated that the 1996-97 Child Care Fund
expenditure cap will be $8,046,911 of which the County receives
50%. This amount remains unchanged since the 1993-94 cap.
5. Should the application be approved by the State as submitted,
Oakland County will exceed the cap by $6,883,429, resulting in an
effective reimbursement rate of 26.9% down from 28.4% realized
for 1995-96.
G. Submission of this application will not affect the lawsuit
regarding the Child Care Fund Cap.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance and Personnel Committee, I move
acceptance of the foregoing report.

IN-HOME CARE CERTIFICATION
Fund Restrictions and Program Requirements

that are alternatives to out-of-home institutional or foster care. IHC funds may
not be used to duplicate services.
A. ELIGIBLE CLIENTS/STAFFING
1. Children under the jurisdiction of the court, as an alternative to removal
from the child's home, provided that:
a. such care is an alternative to detention or other out-of-home care
and:
* a written complaint has been received and accepted by the court,
* the expenditures are not for judicial cost,
* the caseload size or services are intensive,
* non-scheduled payments are not made to pay for basic family
needs otherwise available through public assistance programs,
* the parent(s) and the youth have agreed in writing to receive In-
Home Care services, or a temporary order has been entered
pending an adjudication hearing; or
b. such care is provided to children who at the dispositional hearing
are ordered into In-Home Care as an alternative to foster care or
other out-of-home care, and:
* the expenditures are not for judicial costs,
* the services are intensive, and
* non-scheduled 'payments are not made to pay for basic family
needs otherwise available through public assistance programs.
2. The In-Home Care early return option may be used to accelerate the
early return of a youth from family foster care, institutional care, or
other out-of-home care when the case plan identifies an early return
goal and the services are provided to members of the child's family.
The ease plan should identify the family strengths and deficiencies
which, if corrected, would permit the youth to be returned home early.
In-Home Care Services would typically be provided to the family during
the time that the youth is in out-of-home care and, if necessary, for a
period of time after the youth has returned to the family.
3. The County Department of Social Services may provide In-Home Care
services if the juvenile court orders care and supervision of a court
ward.

court for removal or prevent placement in voluntary foster care, and
* non-scheduled payments are not made to cover basic family needs
otherwise available through public assistance programs.
5. In-Home Care funds shall not be used to meet the court staff-to-youth
population ratio of 1 to 6,000 as specified in the Juvenile Court
Standards and Administrative Guidelines for the Care of Children.
6. Court staff hired after 4/30/85, who are responsible for case plan
development and monitoring, must meet the qualifications established in

8. County Department of Social Services staff and supervisory staff
providing direct In-Home Care services must be state civil servants
assigned to classifications and levels equivalent to staff and supervisors
in the state foster care program.
9. In-Home Care reimbursements for program and administrative office
space, county purchased supplies, salaries and wages for county
employees who provide direct services or .support for these services are
subject to the same restrictions as •reimbursements in county operated
institutions. •
B. USE OF THE IN-HOME CARE OPTION FOR NON-SCHEDULED PAYMENT
If all other In-Home Care requirements are met, budgeted non-scheduled pay-
ments for services available to youth in foster care may be provided to youth in
their own home. (Non-scheduled payments are defined in the Child Care Fund
Handbook).
C. CASE RECORD DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS
Individual case record documentation is required for all In-Home Care clients.
As a minimum, case records must include the following:
* family case assessment which identifies, by service component, the
problems and need for In-Home Care services,
* day of intake,
* type of complaint/allegation, supported as follows:
(1) delinquency -- a copy of the complaint or court order, when
applicable, placing the child in In-Home Care as part of a formal
disposition.
(2) abuse/neglect — allegation and substantiation entered on the DSS-133
in Department cases;
treatment plan which identifies the treatment, objectives and the action
steps which will be used to reach the objectives,
case plan changes as a result of supervisor/case worker or
contractee/contractor case reviews,
quarterly progress reports,
* dates, type and purpose of service contacts made with the client, note:
weekly face to face contact is required, . .
* legal status of youth and the family, and
• * the living arrangement of the youth at termination of In-Horne Care
services.
NOTE: Case record content for all foster care cases, under the supervision
of a county department of Social Services, should be maintained according to
Services Manual Item 722 (6a-9). It is suggested that all In-Home Care
material be kept in the first inside section of the foster care file.
In-Home Care services purchased from a private or public provider requires a
contract unless the service is supportive of a large component; (i.e., clothing
or dental work for a youth serviced through an established In-Horne Care
program as for example, intensive supervision). These non-scheduled
payments do not require contracts.
In-Home Care funds and services are subject to state review and audit and
noncompliance with the above restrictions and requirements may result in
withholding or repayment of state reimbursement.

II. Service and Cost Projections for New Fiscal Year:
A. Number of Youth Served
Recent years experience indicates that 200 youth per year is a realistic number for
our pre-residential population. We are projecting 20 youth to receive 90 days of
intensive aftercare services to reduce length of residential stay.
B. Number of Calendar Days of In -Home Care - 38,325
This is based on an average caseload of 15 for 7 workers times 365 days per year.
C. Total Component Cost
A service unit is defined as a caseload day
III. Program Description:
8. The length of stay of Children's Village residents has over time exceeded 300
days. We have agreed to work cooperatively with the Children's Village to shorten
length of stay through enhanced programming and intensive aftercare. We propose
to provide Intensive aftercare to a projected 20 youth. Our goal with the Children's
Village is to reduce length of stay for 75% of the residents to six months.
9. We are projecting 20 youth will receive 90 days of aftercare for a total savings
of 1,800 days of reduced residential treatment.
10. Youth will be identified through joint screening of Court and Children's Village
staff.

2. Electronic Surveillance
This option remains a favorite of ICU staff, both as a front end transition for
those entering ICU from temporary detention and as a consequence for short
of program failure. We anticipate an ongoing usage of ten units for ICU
youngsters with a possibility of another four for court ordered home detention
cases. As in years past, we retain the flexibility to increase capacity if
caseloads warrant. Increase is needed as Oakland County detention facility
has been at capacity for most of 1995. This has required an increase in
utilization of tether equipment. Amount requested is less than 1995
expenditure.
3. Client Motivation Fund
This has been a part of our programming since the Early Offender Program's
inception. The fund is designed to shape behavior by providing specific
rewards. Part of the money is also used to underwrite group reward and
enrichment activities.
It is recommended that cellular phones be expanded to all ICU caseworkers.
There use increases the efficiency and effectiveness of staff time. It allows
for quick response to the needs of this high risk population.

C. Contractual Services
Intern/Monitors
Each probation staff is paired with a paid, paraprofessional intern/monitor. This
team approach results in extra client coverage. The Intensive workers in the
southwest quadrant will be assigned two interns to assist in coverage of a large
geographic area. We have increased the hourly rate by .50 cents per hour.
8 interns X $6.37/hr. X 1040 hours = $53,080
Clinical Interns
The Clinical interns provide the specially designed group therapy for our project
youngsters, as well as diagnostic testing and consultation. This is an important part
of our intervention and we depend on their expertise and professionalism. Hourly
rate reflects a .25 cent per hour cost of living increase.
2 interns at an hourly rate of $8.25

C. Total Component Cost
Total Cost based on actual through April projected to end of fiscal year.
III. Impact Evaluation
B. Adjudications
*A total of 67 Oakland County Intensive Probationers had new adjudications in
1995.
Of the new adjudications, 27 were of criminal nature, 45 were "technical violations",
or adjudications resulting from failure to follow the terms of probation e.g. restitution,
counseling or other status offenses. Five youth were adjudicated in both
categories.
A total of 55 youth or 25% moved to a more restrictive disposition as a result of a
new adjudication. A 75% successful completion rate was achieved for the calendar
year 1995.
Our experience and research predict an 87% re-adjudication rate for this high risk
population if not for intensive services. Therefore, 187 new adjudications would be
expected. Each new adjudication costs $2,007 to process through the system from
signing of the petition through the entering of disposition.
87% of 223 youth served = 194 expected adjudications - 67
Actual adjudications = 127 fewer adjudications.
127 fewer adjudications X $2007 = $254,909 savings.
D. Days of Out of Home Detention
* 24 Intensive youth were placed on short-term detention in 1995.
A consequence of re-adjudication of this high risk population frequently results in
a temporary detention pending disposition. Our experience has been that 50% of
this population would be detained for an average of 42 days pending disposition if
not for the availability of intensive services.
127 (fewer adjudications) X 50% X 42 (detention days) = 2,667 days of care.
Intensive probation staff utilized 132 days of short term detention as a treatment
consequence for Intensive caseload youth. These must be subtracted from
detention days served.
2,667 days of care - 132 days in detention = 2535 days of care.
The current per diem for detention youth is $165. Savings = 2,535 days of care X
$155 = $418,275.
F. Days of Residential Treatment Care
Without Intensive services the expected rate of residential placement for this high
risk population is 75% or 161 youth. Our actual 1995 experience was that 55 youth
or 25% moved to a residential placement.
To compute savings in residential care we will utilize the Oakland County Children's
Village per diem of $165 and a length of stay of 300 days.
As a result of our efforts to impact length of stay at Children's Village through
enhanced aftercare efforts actual length of stay at Children's Village has been
reduced from the previous ten months to six and one half months for 1995. We had
projected 36 youth being provided aftercare by Intensive Probation. Our actual
service by Intensive workers totaled eight. Full impact was not realized as our joint
efforts with Children's Village did not reach full implementation until June of 1995.
Thirty-seven youth were released from Children's Village from July 1 to December
31, 1995 as a result of our agreement to provide an enhanced aftercare program
and reduce the length of residential stay. The average length of stay was reduced
from the pervious 300 days to 194 for a savings of 106 days. This reduced length
of stay and applies to all youth served by Children's Village not just those who
received service from the Intensive workers. This represents a potential savings of
37 early release X 106 days = 3,922 days of care.
161 (youth expected) - 55 actual = 106 savings
106 X 300 days = 31,800 days of care.
31,800 (days of care) X $165 = $5,247,000
3.922 (days of care) X $165 = $ 647.130
Total 35,722 X $165 = $5,894,130
IV. Program Assessment/Evaluation
13. The calendar year 1995, was utilized for statistical reporting as this coincides
with Probate Court statistical reporting period. Full impact of reduced length of stay
for youth placed in Children's Village has not been fully felt. As changes did not
become fully operational until June of 1995. The impact of Intensive workers
providing aftercare to a select group of youth in aftercare is impacting all Children's
Village youths length of stay.

III. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Address the following items which apply in short narrative paragrapns.
FOR NEW OR REVISED COMPONENT:
8. Problem statement - What caused the need for this request and what were the determining factors leading to the request.
The goal of the parent education program is to assist parents of adjudicated
youth to learn acceptable parenting methods, and to provide parents with a
support network to reduce their feelings of helplessness. The program is
named C.H.O.I.C.E. OR Court Help on Improving Control and Effectiveness..
FOR NEW OR REVISED COMPONENT:
9. Explain items 3,4 & 5 from the reverse side.
This program is based on research which shows that youth are more likely to
recidivate when their families are identified as highly dysfunctional. In
order to reduce repeat adjudications and avoid out-of-home placements for
youths, parents' management skills are strengthened through training and
role play. We expect a group size of 9-10 parents each, for a total of
170 parents receiving service annually. This represents approximately
100 youth, who are under intensive probation for an average of 175 days per
youth. Total In-Home Care Days = 100 youth x 175 care days = 17,500
days.
FOR NEW OR REVISED COMPONENT:
10. Describe how the project will be administered, the services to be provided and by whom. Include the relationship be-
tween the court and DSS, and the Contractor if services are purchased.
The part-time psychologist will report to the Manager of Clinical Services,
with clinical supervision provided by a Clinic Senior Psychologist. The
psychologist will also participate in casework staff meetings to discuss
issues in parent and family functioning. The therapist, especially
recruited for expertise in parent-guidance counseling, will provide both
direct and indirect services (i.e. maintaining case records, providing
written progress reports, etc.).
FOR REVISED COMPONENT:
11. Changes - Describe changes that are planned in existing programs for the coming year, i.e. target population, type of
service, method of delivery number of staff, increase or decrease in costs, etc.
Based upon a review of professional literature concerning parenting assessment,
and a survey of a variety of education instruments, we have piloted the use
of a new scale, the "Parenting Scale", to assess improvements in parenting
abilities. We will collect data during 1997 to determine the utility of this
scale as a measurement tool for treatment progress in our program.

youth served by this component.
In 1995 the C.H.O.I.C.E. program had 166 referrals and delivered 583 units of service
to parents throughout the year. These parents represented 86 youths involved with the
Juvenile Court. This shows a 9% increase in referrals and a decrease of %8 in the
number of youth represented. Attendance and completion of the C.H.O.I.C.E. program
roe, with 77% of parents attending six out of eight classes required for a certificate.
In past years, attempts were made to diversify the C.H.O.I.C.E. program, offering
parent support groups, as well as groups that focused on children with Attention
Deficit Disorder. The attendance to those groups was poor, and they were
eventually discontinued. The lackluster turnout is not surprising/ given that 95%
of the parents who attend C.H.O.I.C.E. are court ordered. In 1995, after considering
the resistance of the target population/ focus was put on strengthening the core
C.H.O.I.C.E. program, with emphasis on improving the real—life application of the
information given to the parents. Contacts with caseworkers were aggressively
pursued, and meetings with therapists at Camp Oakland were held, all to increase
the visibility of the pgoram. An article appeared in the News and Reviews Probate
Court Newsletter as well as the TElegraph/ highlighting the C.H.O.I.C.E. program and
its impact on families. A presentation was made to the court referees regarding the
program content to raise awareness and increase referrals. Attendance to staff
trainings that apply to parenting are attended, to utilize up—to—date information
and pass that along to parents. The training also provides an opportunity to network
to increase referrals from caseworkers, who, in the past, have been the best source.
There continues to be outside interest in the C.H.O.I.C.E. program from diverse
backgrounds such as schools, churches lawyers; we respond to these requests by sending
information and answering questions by phone.

III. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Address the following items which apply in short narrative paradrapns.
•
FOR NEW OR REVISED COMPONENT:
8. Problem statement — What caused the need for this request and what were the determining factors leading to the request.
Increasingly, youth with serious emotional disturbance are referred to the court for formal
intervention as a result of delinquent conduct which is secondary to having a psychiatric dis-
order. These youngsters are typically identified in early childhood as having multiple adjust
ment problems, including poor school attendance and conduct, poor social relationships, family
dysfunction, substance abuse, and others. They receive services from a variety of agencies, ,
often without coordination. Through a partnership with FIA, schools, local community mental
health, and other service organizations, some of these youth can be maintained in their own ;
homes. However, traditional office-based services and categorical definitions of problems do i
not apply. We need an ability to provide °flexible" highly individualized services, in a
wraparound" approach.
- FOR NEW OR REVISED COMPONENT:
_9 Explain items 3, 4 & 5 from the reverse side. Youth in this special, high-risk population have significant rates of repeat offending if un-
treated. (Cur research suggests 87% of these youngsters will re-offend.) Through appropriate
interventions, we anticipate reducing the number of new adjudications and maintaining these 10
selected youth in the community, with no new criminal offenses (a total of nine fewer adjudi-
cations). By maintaining these youth in their homes. rather than in residential placement, we
achieve a cost savings of : (10 x $165 x 180 days) = $297,000-$41,600
= $255,400 annually
FOR NEW OR REVISED COMPONENT:
10. Describe how the project will be administered, the services to be provided and by whom. Include the relationship be-
tween the court and DSS, and the Contractor if services are purchased.
The program will be jointly administered by the court, in its capacity as a member of the
coamunity team composed of FM Probate Court, school districts. and 0.4-1. The ten selected
youth funded by the court will be identified and referred by the Court Casework Unit. Case
management services up to one hour per week will be provided by court staff. in coordination
with staff of other agencies. Professional services will be purchased from local providers on
a fee-for-service basis, to include psychotherapy. recreational respite care, mentoring, and
other individualized services.
FOR REVISED COMPONENT:
11. Changes — Describe changes that are planned in existing programs for the coming year, i.e. target population, type of
service, method of delivery number of staff, increase or decrease in costs, etc.

'OAKLAND COUNTY CHILDREN'S VILLAGE
••
A division of the County Executive's Department of Human Services, Children's Village is the
County of Oakland's residential facility for children and youths who have been referred by the
Oakland County Probate Court - Juvenile Division, District Court, Circuit Court, Office of the
Prosecuting Attorney, various juvenile courts throughout Michigan, as well as the Family
Independence Agency. The facility presents a unique tri-dimensional approach to residential care
and treatment for youngsters awaiting the adjudication and/or dispositional phases of the court
process, as well as those committed by dispositional orders for the purpose of residential
treatment. The Village maintains 211 beds in multiple living units located on a campus setting
adjacent to the County Service Center. The Children's Village School, accredited by the North
Central Association of High Schools and Colleges, completes the self-contained/one location
feature of the facility, allowing for regular and special education programs for grades K-12.
The care providing/service delivery functions of the facility are organizationally structured to reflect
the short-term aspects of secure detention and shelter care (Intake Treatment Services) and the
long-term nature of rehabilitation (Residential Treatment Services).
The Village operates under the provisions of three licenses issued and regulated by the State of
Michigan:
1. Secure detention, (as an alternative to jail) for boys and girls who have been
identified as being a risk to the community or themselves.
2. Shelter Care for youngsters who have had to be temporarily removed from
their own homes for reasons of parental neglect and/or abuse; or those who have
presented problematic behaviors in their own homes.
a Residential treatment and rehabilitative services for youngsters who have
been committed by court order to the facility; such services being rendered in open
(i.e., non-secure) cottage-type buildings, as well as a closed (i.e., secure) unit.
The key feature of this comprehensive approach to residential care is that it provides the
opportunity for residents of Oakland County (who are deemed to be in need of out-of-home care)
to receive such services within Oakland County and, thus, close to home. This feature, therefore,
allows for the parents or guardians of those children placed in the Village to be able to travel to
the facility with relative convenience in terms of time and distance. The close proximity enhances
and facilitates the care and treatment of the resident-clients, as parental involvement is
considered a desirable and integral component of such care and treatment.
The presence of the Children's Village School on the campus completes the self-contained/one
location feature of the facility, thus allowing for an on-site educational program ranging from
kindergarten through 12th grade.
Children and youths who enter the facility receive a vast array of services including: individual and
family counseling, psychological and psychiatric treatment, dental and medical treatment,
academic and educational services, employment training and work experiences, and a structured
approach to daily living.
OAKLAND COUNTY CHILDREN'S VILLAGE
MISSION STATEMENT
We believe in the inherent abilities and rights of individuals to effect positive
changes in their life-styles and value systems that would result in a more
successful adaptation to community living. We believe that by providing a
continuum of care in a treatment-oriented milieu, utilizing the least
restrictive setting necessary; that these aforementioned changes will be
facilitated and reinforced. We further believe that the focus of such
treatment services is with the client and the client's family and that service
delivery is aimed at achieving the earliest and most reasonable return of the
client to the community; while, at the same time, keeping in mind the safety
and welfare of the community.
PROGRAM STATEMENT
Children's Village presents a unique and comprehensive tri-dimensional
approach to residential care and treatment. Pre-adjudicated and/or pre-
dispositional children and youths receive initial treatment services under the
auspices of either the Shelter Care Program, for children who have been
temporarily assigned to the facility for reasons of neglect or abuse; or, in
the Secure Detention Program, for youths who have been identified as
posing a risk to the community or themselves.
Youths who are placed at the facility by dispositional order receive long-
term treatment and rehabilitative services through the Residential Treatment
Program.
The presence of the on-campus Children's Village School, accredited by the
North Central Association of Schools and Colleges, completes the self-
contained/comprehensive approach to residential care and provides an
'educational program spanning the grade levels of Kindergarten through
12th Grade. Consequently, residents are provided with an educational
program tailored to meet their needs; and to receive grades and credits
which are transferable to their community schools.

PURPOSE:
To provide a safe and secure environment and essential services to boys and girls

appropriate living unit as well as the implementation of initial and/or interim treatment.
GOALS:
The primary goal of the Intake Team focuses on meeting the immediate needs of the
resident-clientele while keeping in mind the welfare of the community. In so doing, team
members consider the input of the referring agency or person (e.g., police department,
Protective Services, parents or court staff) as well as the nature of the offense and the
emotional and physical state of the client at the time of admission.
ADDITIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
To orient the youth and family to the facility, to assist them toward understanding the court
process and, if necessary, to prepare the youth for future out-of-home placement.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE DELIVERY
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SERVICES
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM: Provides correctional/
rehabilitative services to adjudicated youths, ages 12 to 18 years, who have
been placed by dispositional orders of the Juvenile Court or by referral from
the Family Independence Agency. Youths reside in either open (i.e., non-
secure) living units or a secure (i.e., maximum security) setting depending
upon the severity of their delinquency and dysfunctional behavior.
The Residential Treatment Program is behaviorally-based, utilizing a
therapeutic-milieu approach to daily living. Standard services include
individual counseling and group therapy with individualized service plans,
including aftercare. Specialized services include individual psychotherapy,
psychiatric care, family therapy and employment training. Length of stay is
open-ended, based upon individualized needs and the progress made by
youth and family toward achieving those objectives.
The Residential Treatment Program serves as a lower-cost alternative to
youths having to be committed to the state system of care.
PURPOSE:
To provide comprehensive treatment services in a residential setting to youths who have
been identified as being in need of out-of-home placement. Essential to this service
delivery is the partnership involvement of parents and guardians and the Juvenile Court
with the facility staff in the ongoing treatment process. Additionally, protection for the
community is addressed via the continuum of security levels.
GOALS:
To provide a structured treatment milieu for dysfunctional youngsters that will facilitate and
promote psychological growth via means of internalizing emotional controls, the
enhancement of self-esteem, an increased sense of responsibility and a heightened
awareness of the rights of others. Recognizing that ultimate achievement of this goal is
a continuous process that will extend beyond the client's stay in the Village, the main
objective is to provide the degree and intensity of services for the resident and family that
would enable the youth to move from the facility to a less-restrictive setting in the least
amount of time necessary to achieve the identified treatment goals.

OAKLAND COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL AND HUMAN SERVICES
CHILDREN'S VILLAGE DIVISION
OVERVIEW:
Children's Village is the County of Oakland's residential child and youth
facility. Licensed by the State of Michigan under Act 116 of the Public
Act of 1973 (Licensing Rules For Child-Caring Facilities), the Village
maintains 213 beds for youngsters between the ages of 0 to 18 years, who
are referred to the facility by the local juvenile court (Oakland County
Probate Court) as well as various other juvenile courts, the district and
circuit courts and the Department of Social Services throughout Michigan.
The facility consists of 9 buildings on a single campus located adjacent
to the main Oakland County Service Center.
Children's Village offers a unique tri-dimensional approach to residential
care, allowing for:
(1) Secure detention (as an alternative to jail) for boys and girls who
have been identified as being a risk to the community or themselves.
(2) Shelter Care for youngsters who have had to be temporarily removed
from their own homes for reasons of parental neglect and/or abuse; or
those who have presented problematical behaviors in their own homes.
(3) Residential treatment and rehabilitative services for youngsters who
have been committed by court order to the facility; such services being
rendered in open (i.e., non-secure) cottage-type buildings.
The key feature of this comprehensive approach to residential care is that
it provides the opportunity for residents of Oakland County (who are
deemed to be in need of out-of-home care) to receive such services within
Oakland County and, thus, close to home. This feature, therefore, allows
for the parents or guardians of those children placed in the Village to be
able to travel to the facility with relative convenience in terms of time
and distance. The close proximity enhances and facilitates the care and
treatment of the resident-clients, as parental involvement is considered a
desirable and integral component of such care and treatment.
The presence of the Children's Village School on the campus completes the
self-contained/one-location feature of the facility; thus allowing for an
on-site educational program ranging from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Consequently, while youngsters of school age are in residence at Children's
Children's Village Division
Overview - Page Two
Village, they have the opportunity to continue with their
education in a school program which is tailored to meet their
needs; and to receive grades and credits which are then
transferrable back to the clients' community schools.
Professional and para-professional practitioners at Children's
Village include:
(1) CHILD-CARE STAFF (Children's Supervisors) who are trained
in the multitude of residential child-caring practices needed
to become effective practitioners. The Village adheres to a
ratio of no less than 1 child care worker for each 10
youngsters during the awake hours of the day, thus enhancing
the capability for individualized attention. The child-care
staff assist residents in their adjustment to group living in a
residential setting as well as daily living skills and
socialization/interpersonal skills. Utilizing the
programmatical structure, the child-care staff establish fair
and consistent behavioral limits and provide external controls
for the residents and reinforce positive efforts on the part of
residents; thus, playing a key role in the overall treatment
process.
(2) CHILD-CARE STAFF SUPERVISORS The overall management of
each resident site is under the direction of the assigned
Program Supervisors. These individuals are responsible for the
day-to-day operations in their assigned buildings and involve
such duties as 'ensuring sufficient staffing of child-care staff
on a 24-hour basis; immed-iate supervision of on-duty child-care
staff; coordination of service delivery and ensuring that the
desired quality-of-life for residents is maintained. Assisting
the Program Supervisors are the dhildren's Supervisors - Level
III, who provide immediate supervision of child-care staff
and quality assurance during the evening and midnight hours and
on weekends.
(3) COUNSELING STAFF (Child Welfare workers) who assist the
residents and their families in a variety of ways, including
functioning as the liaison person for residents, the court, the
family and the facility; establishing treatment goals and
service plans; and providing individual and group counseling
services for residents and parents. Each resident building in
the facility-has an assigned, fulltime counselor and,
therefore, each resident has the availability of an on-site
counselor.
Children's Village Division
Overview - Page Three
(4) CLINICAL STAFF-PSYCHOLOGICAL (Social Workers, Psychologists
and Psychiatrists) - Each residential building in the facility
also has an assigned fulltime therapist. These clinicians aid
in the development of individualized treatment plans; provide
crisis-prevention and intervention services; group therapy;
individual psychotherapy via referral process; family therapy;
and assessment and diagnostic services aimed at facilitating
the most ideal course of treatment within the facility. The
clinical staff team plays a major role in identifying high-risk
youth upon admission to the facility and assisting staff at all
levels in how to best manage these youngsters.
Children's Village also has two contracted consulting
psychiatrists and a -psychiatric liaison worker on staff. These
individuals receive referrals from the counseling-clinical
staff in order to further assess and treat youngsters who are
deemed to be in need of psychiatric interventions.
(5) CLINICAL STAFF-MEDICAL (Nurses, Pediatricians, Dentists,
Dental Hygienists) - The Village has a cadre of fulltime
registered nurses who are stationed in the medical Unit portion
of the complex. The nursing staff become involved with all
residents upon admission to the facility. They perform
"follow-up" admission tasks related to obtaining significant
medical information and histories and identify priority cases
for the pediatrics and dental staff. The nursing staff
services residents who are referred directly to the Medical
Unit and, in addition, make routine rounds into each of the
residential buildings. This is viewed as a most important
concept within the Village operation as it enables the nursing
staff to see children in the milieu and to consult directly
with the child care workers.
Children's Village enjoys the services of three pediatricians
who are under contract to the agency. All residents receive
physical examinations within one week . of the time of admission
and follow-up care as needed. These services are performed at
the village, thus enabling the physicians to see the children
in the residential environment and allowing the opportunity for
dialogue with staff members. This concept also serves. to
minimize disruptions for the residents and reduces the anxiety
often associated with the patient having to travel to the
doctor's office..
The Oakland County Health Division provides dental services for
Village residents. Dental patients are seen in the Village's
Children's Village Division
Overview - Page Four
Medical Unit, in most cases, and at the Health DivistCn's
Dental Clinic in some instances. A dental hygienist is
available to administer cleanings and preliminary dental
examinations. Following that process, the Health Division
dentists then administer necessary treatment.
An expanded service available through the Health Division is
that of providing x-rays for residents who would be in need of
same. These services are rendered at the Oakland County
Medical Care Facility which is located in the main County
complex.
(6) EDUCATIONAL STAFF - Children's . Village School, located on
the Village campus, is part of the Waterford Township School
District. There is a full complement of teachers with an
average class size of 11 students. Waterford Township Schools
provides the services of a shared-time school psychologist and
school social worker who aid the faculty in assessments and the
development of individualized educational plans. There is a
significant array of special education and remedial services as
well as vocational testing resources in the school program.
Children's Village School is accredited by the North Central
Association of High Schools and Colleges.
(7) FOOD SERVICES STAFF - A central kitchen building on the
Village campus provides for the dietary and nutritional needs
of the Village residents. The food services staff are trained
and certified in food management and food service sanitation
programs as well as other related dietary and nutritional
concepts. The staff are also assisted by certified dietitians
from the Oakland County Health Division. The food program is
monitored by the Department of Agriculture and the Michigan
Department of Education.
(8) RECREATION SPECIALIST - This individual assists each
building's supervisory and child-care staff in the area of
recreational programming development: Each residential unit is
responsible for planning and implementing a written-weekly
activities schedule which integrates with the specific
clientele and mileau of each building. The residents and
child-care staff work together in developing these schedules.
The Recreation Specialist coordinates this effort and assists
each building.l.s staff team in the area of logistics and
instruction. As an extension of this role, the Recreation
Specialist facilitates special events and recruits and trains
recreational interns and volunteers.
Children's village Division
Overview - Page Five
SPECIAL SERVICES
(1)PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING-CONTINUITY OF CARE - It is not
uncommon for youths who enter Children's Village to have
previously received the services of other agencies,
institutions and practitioners. The Children's Village
professional staff, in order to design and deliver the most
comprehensive and meaningful treatment services possible,
strives to obtain all pertinent and relevant information from
such sources. If warranted and practicable, non-Village
practitioners are invited to work in concert with Children's
Village counselors and clinicians in order to co-deliver
therapeutic counseling services, or to assist in the
development of treatment planning via consultation. Identified
needs for ongoing and supportive treatment services are
translated into referrals by Children's Village staff to
community-based agencies prior to a youngster's discharge from
the Village. Thus,' continuity of care is addressed by means of
professional networking, consultation and referrals.
(2) SUBSTANCE ABUSE THERAPY - Via arrangement with the Oakland
County Health Division's Office of Substance Abuse, a substance
abuse therapist is based at the Village. This clinician
services youngsters who are referred by the Village counselors
for reasons of suspected or known chemical abuse. In
conjunction with Children's Village treatment personnel, the
therapist provides didactic programs, assessment services,
group, individual and family counseling.
(3) AFTERCARE - Prior to anticipated discharge from the
residential treatment program, aftercare planning is formulated
via the pre-discharge staffing. This staffing (involving the
treatment team, the referring agency's caseworker, parents and
youth) focuses on achieving the successful transition of the
youth from the residential phase of the treatment program.
Needed support services are identified and, if needed,
appropriate referrals are made. A decision is made as to the
feasibility of the youth returning to his/her home school post-
discharge, or attending Children's Village School as an
outstudent. Treatment issues thus identified, the plan is
formalized in a recommendation to the referring court, and the
youth may then be placed on an aftercare temporary release for
a period of up to 60 days, during which time the treatment team
continues its efforts with youth and family. With the
successful completion of aftercare, the youth would move either
to a probationary order or be dismissed from the jurisdiction
of the referring court.
(4) PARENT-EDUCATION (Step-Teen) - Parent Education is a direct
service provided by the Children's Village counselors and
clinicians to the parents of residents. The program that is
presented is the Systematic Training for Effective Parenting of
Children's Village Division
Overview - Page Six
Teens (Step-Teen). The meetings are scheduled on a weekly
basis for seven weeks. The program is designed to assist
parents in the development of stronger parenting skills. The
7 specific areas that the program focuses on are family
communications, understanding emotions, listening Skills,
personality dynamics, adolescent self-esteem, appropriate
limit-setting and discipline, as well as individualized problem
solving.
(5) CLERGY STAFF/CHAPLAINS - All residents admitted to
Children's Village are able to participate in religious
services. Residents and parents can, upon request, have their
local minister visit and counsel with the youth. In addition,
we are fortunate to have a fulltime chaplain in our detention
units as well as Saturday and Sunday services provided in our
Rehabilitation Programs and Shelter Care. To ensure a
coordinated, effective program, a Religious Service
Interdenominational Council has been implemented at Children's
Village that meets on a quarterly basis.
(6) YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM - Residents who are in need of
employability training can take advantage of a number of jobs
that are located either on campus or on the Oakland County
Service Complex. Youth are able to increase their
employability skills by learning how to fill out job
applications, how to be interviewed and the importance of
maintaining a job. In addition, youth are able to increase
their job skills through on-the-job training in such areas as
stock work, receptionist, clerical and food services. Funding
is made available through several federally funded programs.
(7) HEALTH EDUCATION Residents can take advantage of the many
health education training workshops provided by the Oakland
County Health Division. Firsthand knowledge about, and
prevention of, communicable diseases, sexually transmitted
diseases, as well as dietary/nutritional issues are provided by
highly trained professional Public Health nurses. The Public
Health nurses also provide confidential counseling on the
above.
(8) FOSTER GRANDPARENT PROGRAM - Residents have a special
opportunity to relate in a personal, caring way to one of our
many foster greendparents. The Foster Grandparent Program adds
a very important addition to our programs. Foster
grandparents provide an extra bit of nurturance and empathy
that might otherwise be absent without them. The smell of
Children's Village Division
Overview - Page Seven
freshly baked cookies and the insight gained through their.
accumulated experiential years encourages an atmosphere of
openness and wisdom. Catholic Social Services Foster
Grandparent Program has become a valuable addition to our many
spectrums of services provided to our residents.
(9) INTERNS Children's Village capitalizes on the
opportunities that students can bring into our facility.
Students from local universities as well as universities
outside of the metropolitan area provide their complement of
assisting residents in their related field of social work,
psychology, criminal justice, human services and recreation
therapy. Both graduate and undergraduate field training is
provided in counseling, administration, social work,
recreation, psychology and child care work.
(10) STAFF TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS - All staff
at Children's Village increase and fine tune their skills
through training seminars provided by such acclaimed
organizations as Michigan Judicial Institute, Michigan Juvenile
Detention Association and the Michigan Alliance of Children's
Agencies. In addition, a number of our staff are trainers
utilized by training organizations as guest Speakers.
Children's Village staff also are field instructors in Social
Work, Psychology, Guidance and Counseling and Criminal Justice.
Our staff are also affiliated with a variety of professional
associations such as the National Association of Social Work.
American Correctional Association, Children's Charter of
Michigan and The American Psychological Association.
Children's Village is an agency member of The Michigan Juvenile
Detention Association, American Correctional Association,
National and Michigan Recreation and Parks and Michigan
Alliance of Children's Agencies.
(11) CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COUNCIL - The community, i.e., Oakland
County, is most supportive of programs for youth. This is
reflected in the many civic organizations, individual and group
donors and volunteers who lend their financial support and.
personal time, energy and talents to the residents of
Children's Village. An outstanding example of this community
support is found in the form of the Oakland County Children's
Village Advisory Council.
Children's Village Division
Overview - Page Eight
The "CVAC" is comprised of citizens who have expressed and
demonstrated an active and vested interest in the welfare of
the youth who reside in the facility. The council's by-laws
7 focus on mobilizing community skills, interests and forces on
behalf of children and provides an advisory service, wbich may
be used by the staff of the Village, towards the development of
improved services. The main objectives of the "CVAC" are: (1)
to maintain a cooperative relationship with agencies and groups
geared towards meeting the needs of youth and their families
within the residential child care facility; and (2) to guide
children toward a more healthy life and becoming responsible,
contributing members of society.
The Advisory Council functions as a public relations arm of the
Village, as a vehicle for sustaining continuing community
support and awareness, as well as expanding these areas. This
advocacy role is a most appreciated and welcomed effort and has
served to move the facility beyond that of an abstract and/or
obscure agency in the eyes of the public.

RESIDENTIAL SERVICES: ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
The unique array of residential programs at Children's Village
. allows for youngsters to be housed and cared for in specific
programs which are designed to deliver services that Coincide
with their individual needs. Those in need of short-term
secure detention or shelter care are located in either the
boys' or girls' detention units or the Shelter Care Unit.
Post-dispositional residential treatment is available .in the
separate set of buildings known as the rehabilitation-treatment
units.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE DELIVERY
OAKLAND COUNTY CHILDREN'S VILLAGE
INTAKE TEAM
PURPOSE:
To provide a safe and secure environment and essential services
to boys and girls between the ages of 0 and 18 who are in need
of temporary shelter, secure detention or transitional care.
These services relate to the formal admittance of new residents
to the facility; and to the assessment of needs and subsequent
assignment to an appropriate living unit as well as the
implementation of initial and/or interim treatment.
GOALS:
The primary goal of the Intake Team focuses on meeting the
immediate needs of the resident-clientele while keeping in mind
the welfare of the community. In so doing, team members
consider the input of the referring agency or person (e.g.,
police department, Protective Services, parents or court staff)
as well as the nature of the offense and the emotional and
physical state of the client at the time of admission. This
assessment then leads to the decision as to where to first
house the child within Children's Village and to the initial
resident-management techniques that will be necessary for staff
to properly care for the youngster. The primary objective of
this goal is to place the youth in the least restrictive
setting necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the
resident as well as other youngsters, staff and the public.
This initial assessment of needs continues beyond the point of
admittance to the facility. Follow-up tasks involve
determining needs related to physical health services and
initiating same. Assisting the resident and the family in
adjusting to the environment of group living in an
institutional setting and dealing with the fear of the unknown,
involves an ongoing effort by team members. Mental health
issues may surface and are then dealt with via appropriate
interventions.
Additional goals and objectives of the Intake Team are:
1) Assessing the needs for the resident to make desired
behavioral changes, identifying same for the resident and then
guiding and monitoring the resident in terms of achieving
behavioral changes.
2) Providing feedback to the referring agency as to the
resident's adjustment, progress and unmet needs as they relate
to further casework/treatment planning.
INTAKE TEAM
Page Two
3) Providing input to the Department of Institutional and
Human Services Screening Committee regarding case dynamics,
course of treatment and suitability for placement.
4) Providing interim/transitional services for those youths
who are:
(a) pending initial placement in an open residential
treatment setting within the Village.
(h) pending placement in a facility other than Children's
Village (e.g., Foster Home, State Department facility
or private placement).
(c) in need of crisis intervention/intensive treatment
services prior to being returned to a less
restrictive setting within the Village. This
service is co-delivered by staff from the Intake
Team and the Program Team.
TYPES OF YOUTHS ADMITTED INTO CARE:
1) Ages 0 to 18; male and female
2) Those who are temporarily detained by a juvenile court or
the Department of Social Services as being in need of either
shelter care or secure custody pending further court or
placement action, as provided for in the Michigan Juvenile
Code, specifically:
(a) those whose home conditions make immediate removal
necessary
(b) those who have run away from home or who are evading
authority having legal custody
(c) those whose offenses are so serious that release
would endanger public safety
(d) those who have a record of unexcused failures to appear
at juvenile court proceedings
(e) those who have failed to remain in a detention or non-
secure facility or placement in violation of a court'
order
3) Those awaiting further placement--i.e., having the need
for interim/transitional services.
METHODOLOGY - DELIVERY OF SERVICES - ROLES OF STAFF:
A description of the delivery of services is best obtained by
chronicling the events that occur for the resident from the
time of admission to the facility to the time of departure from
an intake building. Admissions may occur at any hour of any
day of the week.
INTAKE TEAM
Page Three
INTAKE PROCESS:
1) Youth is brought to facility by parent, police or referral
source staff.
2) Intake person obtains from conveyor the legal documentation
(i.e., court order, police complaint, Protective Services
complaint) necessary to enable the facility to admit the child
into care, as well as authorization to provide medical/dental
care and treatment.
3) Intake person interviews parties present in order to obtain
significant information relating to needs for proper care and
treatment of child.
(a) admission form
(b) medical data sheet
(c) intake observation checklist
(d) release of confidential information forms
(e) accounts for and receipts personal property of youth
(f) secures contraband, if any; documents same and
provides for safekeeping of same.
4) Intake person compiles information and makes first-line
assessment as to:
(a) alerts (medical, psychological, behavioral and legal)
to receiving staff members
(b) identifies where child will be placed (e.g., secure
detention or shelter care) based on assessment
(c) identifies strategies/techniques necessary for child-
care staff to most effectively care for and manage the
youngster
(d) contacts parents, guardian or custodian (if not
present) in order to provide notification of child's
admission/provides information related to visiting,
name of counselor and condition of youngster.
If circumstances exist that suggest further assessment by
other team personnel (e.g., psychologist), the intake person
contacts that individual in order to gain further input as to
immediate placement and management of the resident.
S) All intake information is then entered into the facility's
• computer system in order to ensure record retention and quick
access by agency staff responsible for caring for the
youngster.
INTAKE TEAM
Page Four
6) Youngster is then assigned to a child-care staff person who
provides for:
(a) bathing/showering of resident
(b) issuing of clean clothing and storage of personal
clothing
(c) briefing the youngster as to rights and
responsibilities
(d) introducing resident to other staff members and.
youths
(e) assigning the newly-admitted resident to the
designated building location, room, bed and
personal storage area
(f) in general, providing an orientation and briefing
the new resident as to how to effectively cope
with behavioral expectations, rules and the
specifics of the resident-management system
and program structure as it applies to the youth.
7) Nursing staff then interview youth and complete a medical
history. Youngster is examined in order to determine any
apparent injury, illness or significant medical or dental
problems. Provided there are no obvious emergency medical
needs, the youth is then scheduled to see the pediatrician for
a physical examination. This occurs within 3 to 7 days post-
admission.
Dental needs are tended to on a priority-referral basis.
However, even if the child has no dental treatment needs of an
emergent nature, he/she will be seen by the dental hygienist
within 30 days post-admission and scheduled for follow-up
dental treatment , if indicated.
8) The assigned counselor interviews the youngster within 48
hours post-admission in order to establish the need for care
beyond 48 hours. The counselor must establish that the
facility is an appropriate placement for the youngster to
remain beyond 48 hours. The counselor, with any necessary
assistance from other team members (e.g., medical staff,
psychological staff or Chief: Intake Team) will determine if
there are any physical, emotional or legal reasons why the
child could not continue residing in the facility. If
conditions exist that would contraindicate continued care
beyond 48 hours, the referring agency shall be formally
notified as to the need to relocate the child.
Within 7 days post-admission, the counselor will develop the
Preliminary Service Plan for each resident. This plan will
INTAKE TEAM
Page Five
include a written assessment of the resident's immediate and
specific needs and the specific services that will be provided
by the Intake Team. A copy of this plan will be forwarded to
the referring agency.
If the youngster remains in the facility for 30 days after
admission, a written Resident Assessment will be completed by
the counselor. This document will include the reasons for
continued care; the plans for other placement and barriers to
other placement, as well as plans to eliminate those barriers.
This assessment shall also be forwarded to the referring
agency. For every 15 days in residence thereafter, an updated
assessment will be completed.
9) The newly admitted resident's educational needs get
attention beginning the next school day after admittance to the
facility. The younster is enrolled in the Children's Village
School and undergoes testing that determines functional grade
levels in reading and arithmetic. The resident then receives
classroom work that coincides with his/her current functional
level.
10) During the entire stay, the resident is involved in a well-
structured daily agenda of school, work details, structured
recreation, free-time recreation and other related activities
that are age-appropriate. In addition, there is a well-defined
system of rules for daily living and feedback from staff to the
resident as to how he/she is conforming to these expectations.
In the secure detention units, for example, the residents take
part in a token economy (point system) that provides them with
hourly feedback and reinforcement for positive effort.
Negative sanctions and consequences are explained and are based
on the youth's individual capabilities and needs. Child-care
staff maintain an individual log for each resident and record
their observations as to behavior, adjustment and real or
potential areas of difficulty that the resident may experience.
Supervisory personnel, counselors and clinical staff review the
logs frequently in order to refine or redefine the most
appropriate staff techniques in managing the youth and to
assist the resident in coping with the institutional
environment.
Residents are also involved with teamstaff in periodic group
meetings throughout the week, focusing on social skills
development, resolving peer conflicts and information sharing.
11) Intake team staff meet weekly in order to review the
adjustmen: and progress of each resident. Those residents that
INTAKE TEAM
Page Six
are identified as experiencing significant adjustment
difficulties may be referred for additional support services;
including psychological evaluations, psychiatric assessments
and/or individual psychotherapy or crisis counseling.
If the resident is ordered to remain at Children's Village for
longer-term residential treatment, the Intake Team staff (with
the counselor as the spokesperson) also assists the Department
of Institutional and Human Services Screening Committee in
identifying treatment needs and the most suitable placement.
Finally, when the youngster is discharged (i.e., released) from
an intake site, the counselor prepares a written Discharge Plan
which documents the reason for discharge; the new location of
the child; brief summary of medical and dental services
provided; and the name and official title of the person to whom
the child was released.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE DELIVERY
OAKLAND COUNTY CHILDREN'S VILLAGE
PROGRAM TEAM
PURPOSE:
To provide comprehensive treatment services in a residential
setting to youths who have been identified as being in need of
out-of-home placement.
GOALS:
To provide a structured treatment milieu for dysfunctional
youngsters that will facilitate and promote psychological
growth via means of internalizing emotional controls, the
enhancement of self-esteem, an increased sense of
responsibl.lity and a heightened awareness of the rights of
others. Recognizing that ultimate achievement of this goal is
a continuous process that will extend beyond the client's
stay in the Village, the main objective of the Program Team is
to provide the degree and intensity of services for the
resident and family that would enable the youth to move from
the facility to a less restrictive setting in the least amount
of time necessary to achieve the identified treatment goals.
TYPES OF YOUTHS ADMITTED INTO CARE: oniner . ...meone—••••••-•-• arwr
The "typical" client admitted into treatment is a boy or girl,
age 12 through 17 years, who has been deemed unable to return
to the community at the time of placement; because there is
sufficient reason to believe that the youth will continue to
exhibit anti-social conduct without the intervention of out-of-
home care and treatment. Nevertheless, the client who is
placed in one of the treatment buildings does have a reasonable
prognosis for being able to function in a non-secure (i.e.,
unlocked) but structured setting. In short, the youngster's
delinquent behaviors have not been so severe as to suggest the
need for long-term treatment in a secure (i.e., locked)
setting. Likewise, the client is not emotionally disturbed or
impaired to such a degree that would require psychiatric
hospitalization. Furthermore, the client is not physically or
developmentally disabled to a degree that he/she would require
special nursing care and placement in a barrier-free facility.
Finally, the referring agency and the facility staff are in
agreement that placement in the Village treatment program is a
necessary and realistic intervention that will provide the
youngster the opportunity to return to the community after
having derived positive benefits as a result of the
intervention.
The treatment candidate's history typically reveals that prior
attempts to maintain him/her at home have failed despite such
interventions as individual and family counseling, diversion
programs and probation.

The pathology may range from mildly neurotic to the more severe
character or conduct disorders, but the common characteristic
will be that of a pattern of dysfunctional behavior that has
the likelihood of continuing.
RESIDENTS' PROFILE:
Residents of the treatment programs possess the following
characteristics in varying degrees of severity and are planned
for accordingly:
1) Learning disabled, academic and/or behavioral; has
experienced few academic successes. Actual I.Q. ranges from
dull normal to above average.
2) Inadequate development of internal controls; needs
external structure.
3) Little self-confidence or self-esteem; feels inadequate.
4) Inadequate development of social, recreational and daily
living skills; lacks discipline, empathy, manners and sometimes
even physical coordination.
5) Inadequate conscience development; displays antisocial
behaviors.
6) Inadequate relationship skills; has authority problems,
displays attention-seeking behaviors, experiences peer problems
or has difficulty trusting others.
7) Inadequate familial support structure; comes from
dysfunctional family that evidences poor parental skills or
neglect/abuse or sometimes even criminality.
METHODOLOGY:
The treatment program focuses upon maximizing the social,
psychological, physical, educational and moral growth of each
resident. This groWth is measured in terms of goal attainment
or steps necessary to achieve progressively more advanced
levels. The treatment program counselor is provided with a
report from the Human Services Comprehensive Screening
Committee that identifies the basic treatment goals for each
resident, prior to the latter's entry into the targeted
program.
•
PROGRAM TEAM

LEVEL I: ORIENTATION AND ASSESSMENT
Orientation staffing is held with parents or guardians and
resident as soon after admission as possible. At this 'staffing,
program mechanics, services, rules, standardized goals, parent
and resident expectretions, policies and visitations are
explained. Within the first week the resident is provided with
an Assigned Staff, who will aid the resident in defining and
working toward treatment objectives, intervene during crisis
situations and advocate for the resident during treatment team
meetings. Also, within the first week, the resident is
assigned a senior resident from Level IV as an aide in
adjusting to the program.
Immediately upon entry, the resident is assigned to one of two
therapy groups, which meet on a weekly basis and are co-led by
the program clinician and program counselor. Child care staff
provide daily living milieu therapy and make daily log entries
on each resident, detailing strengths, weaknesses and
significant behaviors. These log entries, along with input
from other treatment team members (counselor, clinician,
program supervisor and any support service providers) will
serve as the basis for the development of individualized
treatment objectives for the resident.
Within a few days of entry, achievement tests are administered,
and an Individualized Educational Plan is developed for the
resident. A recreational specialist plans activities aimed
toward social and physical development of each resident.
Toward the close of 30 days, the program counselor holds an
Initial Service Plan Conference for the purpose of specifying
resident and family problems and corresponding treatment
objectives within the program's standardized goals, time frames
for achieving treatment objectives, indicators of this
achievement and persons responsible for aiding in this
achievement.
Persons involved in this meeting are: the resident, the
parent or guardian, the program counselor, the program
clinician, the referral source caseworker and the assigned
staff (whenever possible). By the close of this period, a
referral has been made to the program clinician on behalf of
the resident, if there is the need for individual and/or family
therapy. The counselor may also defermine that there is the
.L

need for substance abuse counseling, which is available on-
grounds through a supportive services provider, both group and
individual. when the Treatment Team determines that the
resident has attained his individualized treatment objectives,
he may graduate to the next level.
LEVEL II: PLANNING A$0 GUIDANCE
During this level, the resident and his family work toward
achieving the initial set of treatment objectives. The parent
or guardian is encouraged to participate in on-grounds Parent
Education sessions. The Treatment Team considers the
advisability of home visits, their frequency, and any necessary
restrictions. Usually, home visits are infrequent and closely
monitored during this level. Of course, all aforementioned
core services are in place, and the resident's involvement is
expected to intensify.
If 90 days have passed during this level, the program counselor
holds an Updated Service Plan Conference, which is aimed toward
identifying progress toward the achievement of treatment
objectives, specifying any modifications in the Initial Service
Plan and delineating indicators and time frames for
achievement.
Present at this meeting are all aforementioned persons who
were included in the Initial Service Plan Conference. When the
Treatment Team determines that the resident has attained his
individualized treatment objectives, he may graduate to the
next level.
LEVEL III: POSITIVE PRACTICE
During this level, treatment objectives are updated and become
more difficult, thus reflecting the resident's growth within
the program. The resident and his family work toward achieving
this updated set of treatment objectives, and the resident is
placed in more trust situations. If the family situation
allows, home visitations are more frequent during this level.
All aforementioned core services are in place, and the
resident's commitment to self-growth, via the achievement of
his individualized treatment objectives, is expected to be in
place.
When the Treatment Team determines that the resident has
attained his updated individualized treatment objectives, he
may graduate to the next level.
PROGRAM TEAM
,Page Five-
LEVEL Iv: INTERNALIZATION
A second Updated Service Plan Conference is held at the start
of this level, and all persons from the previous staffings are
included. During this level, treatment objectives are updated
and become increasinAly more difficult, thus reflecting the
resident's growth within the program and his increasing ability
to handle trust situations and to serve as a positive role
model for other less senior residents. The resident and his
family work toward achieving this updated set of treatment
objectives; and emphasis is placed upon preparing the resident
for return to his family or to a 'less restrictive placement,
if this is not possible.
All aforementioned core services are in place, and an
assessment is made as to the possible need for home community-
based individual and/or family therapy services. If so needed,
the family and resident are expected to begin participation in
these therapy services during the course of this level.
When the Treatment Team determines that the resident has
attained his updated individualized treatment objectives, he
may graduate from the residential part of the program into the
next level..
LEVEL V: AFTERCARE
This level begins with a Discharge Service Plan Conference
which involves all significant parties. Issues discussed at
this conference are: any remaining treatment objectives that
the resident and his family need to work on, the specifics of
the actual discharge plan, the rules and conditions of
aftercare, any necessary referrals for community-based support
services and arrangements for a community-based educational
plan.
At the close of this conference, the discharge date is
finalized. Upon discharge the resident and his family receive
the bulk of supportive counseling services from a community-
based provider, although resident/family progress is monitored
by the treatment program counselor for a limited time period,
not to exceed sixty days.
The referring agency's caseworker is an integral part of the
aftercare monitoring system as well. The treatment program
counselor and the court caseworker work cooperatively in
resolving any difficulties that may arise during the monitoring
I

period. If these efforts do not promote a positive change in
behavior, the referring court is notified by the treatment
program counselor. If the court finds the resident in
noncompliance with the court order, he may be placed in the
Children's Village for assessment and planning.
If the Aftercare levl is successfully completed, then the
responsibility for the resident is returned to the court of
origin. The court will then consider such options as:
dismissal of the case or probation for the youth.
