community environment (home, school and peer Domains) in an effort to assist youth in the successful transition back
into the community from a residential placement and/or keep them stable in their home environment. Also, this service

5. Admission Process: Describe the specific referral, screening, admission process (including timeline), the staff
responsible for making decisions about admissions and reasons why a referral may not be accepted.
For the Home Based Family Counseling (HBFC) Program Component, at the onset of a youth transitioning from a
residential placement or identified to be at risk of an out of home placement due to delinquent behavior, a DPS Court
Counselor completes a referral to the HBFC program for the youth/family that are identified as appropriate for the
service. Upon receipt of the referral, the Licensed Clinical Therapist contacts the youth's parent/guardian within 48
hours to schedule an appointment and provides reminder calls 24 hours prior to appointments. All referrals are
accepted; however, a referral may not result in an admission if the youth/family is already receiving behavioral health
services, or a higher level of treatment is deemed more clinically appropriate and/or the parent/guardian chooses to
have the services requested provided by a private provider of their choice. The HBFC Program Component will
address the identified needs of the youth and family by providing individualized evidence based family counseling
services via Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF -CBT). Agency clinicians providing treatment will
receive ten hours of online TF -CBT specific training from the Medical University of South Carolina and twelve hours of
TF -CBT specific training from a TF -CBT certified trainer. The TF -CBT model includes informed consent from client
guardians, explanation of the treatment model and expected number of sessions, pre & post test measurements

Workbook. All youth have an individualized service plan developed that outlines goals specific to the youth and their
family and includes specified service interventions and frequency of service specific to the individualized needs of the
youth and family. Guardian input is mandatory in the development of all service plans. DPS Court Counselors are kept

How is the referring agency involved with the termination process?
The referring agency is heavily involved with the clinician and family throughout the treatment process. Prior to the
client's termination all pertinent communication has been relayed regarding the status of the client's ongoing progress
as well as the court counselor attending treatment team meetings and provided 30 day progress reports. During the
termination process the HBFC therapist develops a treatment termination summary; including an individualized after-

clinician and the court counselor in the form of consultation, treatment team meetings, weekly staffing's, and 30 day
progress reports. During the termination process the HBFC therapist develops an individualized after-care plan based
on interactions and consultation with the juvenile, guardian and the DPS Court Counselor. This plan includes a

of the youth.
8. Intervention/Treatment: Describe specifically what the component will do to redirect inappropriate youth behavior

The TF -CBT model includes informed consent from client guardians, explanation of the treatment model and expected
number of sessions, pre & post test measurements (Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist, Youth Self Report, and Beck
Youth Depression, Anxiety and Self Concept Inventories) and use of a TF -CBT fidelity instrument (TF -CBT Brief
Practice Checklist). Treatment is administered in a standardized manner using the TF -CBT PRACTICE clinical
treatment model and includes structured curriculum utilized via the TF -CBT Workbook. All youth have an individualized
service plan that outlines goals specific to the youth and their family and includes specified service interventions and
frequency of service specific to the individualized needs of the youth and family. Guardian input is mandatory in the

towards achieving the identified goals on the service plan. The client is terminated noncompliant if the youth and family
refuses to comply with therapy sessions. All termination information including DPS identified measurable objectives are
entered into the NC ALLIES web based tracking system for monitoring purposes. HBFC is provided by a licensed
clinician (LCSW) with experience providing outpatient therapy to at risk youth and their families. All families are offered
County funded case management services to help link them with any other identified needs that could help improve
family functioning and self sufficiency.
9. Best Practice Model: Describe what model or evidence-supported/best practice the program is based upon.
For the Home Based Family Counseling Component, the evidence-based/best practice model that clinical staff utilizes
is Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF -CBT). TF -CBT is rated as an effective evidence based
intervention by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Model Programs Guide. TF—CBT is a
treatment intervention that integrates cognitive and behavioral interventions with traditional child trauma therapies. Its
focus is to help children talk directly about their traumatic experiences in a supportive environment. The program
operates through the use of a parental treatment component and several child—parent sessions. The parent
component teaches parents parenting skills to provide optimal support for their children. The parent—child sessions
encourage the child to discuss the traumatic events directly with the parent and both the parent and child to
communicate questions, concerns, and feelings more openly. Typically, TF—CBT is implemented as a relatively brief
intervention, usually lasting from 12 to 18 weekly sessions. These aim to provide the parents and children with the
skills to better manage and resolve distressing thoughts, emotions, and reactions related to traumatic life events;
improve the safety, comfort, trust, and growth in the child; and develop parenting skills and family communication.

service and/or restitution obligation by providing the youth opportunities to engage in civic, community and social
responsibilities through a service learning model to reduce recidivism and delinquent behaviors while also offering
vocational exposure and service opportunities focused on development of soft skills necessary to enter the labor
force. The soft skill development and vocational training is provided through a partnership with Cape Fear Community
College (CFCC) under a recently implemented MOU allowing for increased CSR youth utilization of CFCC resources
and expertise.

responsible for making decisions about admissions and reasons why a referral may not be accepted.
Referral Process: The referring DPS Court Counselor completes a written referral form and submits it to the CSR
Coordinator requesting services for youth. Youth are typically seen for intake into the program on the same day as
their disposition has been rendered in court and community service hours are ordered or at the time a diversion
contract has been signed. If the family is unable to complete intake on the day community service hours are court
ordered, the coordinator contacts the youth's parent/guardian routinely within 1-2 business days to schedule an intake
appointment. Referrals from Wilmington Police Department are faxed to the CSR coordinator who then contacts
youth's parent/guardian within 1-2 business days. Teen Court (TC) referrals are received from the TC Coordinator
prior to the night TC is held and CSR staff conduct intake orientation meetings following completion of the TC
proceedings.
Screening Process: All youth are screened during the intake visit and accepted for services unless during the intake
visit with the program, the youth is deemed not appropriate to participate.
Admission Process: During intake orientation, services are explained to youth and parent, signatures are obtained on
relevant paperwork and a pre ethics questionnaire is administered to the youth. If an intake orientation cannot be
conducted in person, an intake orientation will be conducted through teleservices and the use of Adobe pro for
signatures on intake paperwork. Some of the factors specific to the youth that are taken into consideration and used to
develop an individualized plan of care and individual service plan during the intake process include: school schedule,
parent/guardian work schedule, location of youth's home in relation to appropriate worksites, specific interests/skills the
youth may have, developmental needs expressed by parents/guardians and the youths particular charge and risk level.
All families are offered county funded case management services, free of charge, to address any unmet needs
identified by the parent or guardian pertaining to the youth or other family members. At the end of the Intake, youth are
assigned to a mandatory orientation/training, which includes an introduction to the resources available to access
vocational opportunities within the community and Job skill/safety training. Youth are also scheduled for a mandatory
tour of the NHC Library, which Includes a tour of the job lab, overview of college assistance programs, free tutoring, a
brief history of NHC and instructions for obtaining a library card. Upon completion of orientation, youth are assigned to
a community worksite based on Information gathered regarding safety issues, youth's likes/dislikes, transportation
issues, etc.
Staff responsible for making decisions: The CSR Coordinator
Why a referral may not be accepted: Age of youth or other limitations that would possibly endanger the youth to work
at a community service worksite.

8. Intervention/Treatment: Describe specifically what the component will do to redirect inappropriate youth behavior
or how the component will address the identified needs of the youth and family. What interventions will typically be
utilized in this component and how will parents/guardians be involved?
The CSR Program Component utilizes the following as Interventions to facilitate the youth learning civic, community
and social responsibilities along with age appropriate Job skill development: youth and parent participate in a one-hour
Intake conducted by CSR staff where a plan of care is developed and discussed and on the job expectations are
explained. All families are offered County funded case management services to address unmet needs identified by
parent or guardian. Youth attend trainings that include on site demonstrations of proper work techniques and basic Job
skills provided by agency staff and/or worksite supervisor. Youth are given an explanation of safety regulations/child
labor laws and answer a pre ethics questionnaire. Utilization of small work groups allows CSR staff to place an
emphasis on mentoring youth regarding meaningful, prosocial community involvement and useful skill development.
CSR staff utilize Microsoft TEAMS to deliver a virtual classroom experience to youth who are unable to attend in
person classes. These classes consist of Job skills, WHY TRY life skills, virtual NHC Library tours and a CSR training.
Staff also have frequent contact with parents/guardians via reminder calls, providing updates regarding the activity
calendar, following up with unexcused absences/behavioral issues, and mailing out of compliance letters when
needed. In special circumstances regarding youth who have specific needs, such as, significant behavioral health
issues or unique geographical situations, a specific worksite may be developed to help meet the youth's individual
needs. Inappropriate behaviors that are displayed by youth are typically handled via individual mentoring, redirection
into a new activity or project. and collaboration with parents/guardians and court counselors regarding positive
strategies that can be utilized to defuse negative behaviors. Upon completion of their CSR requirements, youth
complete a post ethics questionnaire and satisfaction survey.
CSR Program effectiveness is tracked in part via NC ALLIES data collected on all youth and includes the completion
rate of court ordered community service hours, rate of successful completion and percentage of referrals successfully
admitted. Recidivism data is collected at least every 6 months with assistance from DPS Juvenile Justice Staff to
access data via NC JOIN in order to determine if new complaints or adjudications have occurred during service
delivery or post one year successfully/satisfactorily completing the program. All data related to the evaluation of
program effectiveness is maintained either online via NC ALLIES or in the case of recidivism data, a hard copy of the
relevant information is kept. All information related to program effectiveness is communicated to the NC Department of
Public Safety according to stated reporting requirements. A comprehensive description of CSR Program interventions
are contained in the CSR Program Manual.
9. Best Practice Model: Describe what model or evidence-supported/best practice the program is based upon.
While the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Model Programs Guide does not contain a
Community Service and Restitution (CSR) model program, the CSR Program Component is based on the evidenced-
supported/best practice model the "balanced approach" to juvenile probation that was introduced by Dennis Maloney,
Dennis Romig, and Troy Armstrong. Beginning with recognition of three goals of juvenile corrections, this approach
requires that probation services incorporate a balance among: 1. Protecting public safety by effectively monitoring the
behavior of juvenile offenders; 2. Holding offenders accountable for their offenses and to their victims; and 3.
Facilitating the youth's competency development via rehabilitative and skill building services. Because of its emphasis
on atonement, restitution is often an important part of restorative justice models. Community service, like restitution,
involves the offender giving something back to the community at large rather than directly to the victim. Both restitution
and community service have potential to promote offender accountability to the community or to victims. The best of

these activities have desirable competency development benefits to the offenders by poviding meaningful, prosocial
community involvement and useful skill development. A review of research suggests that restitution can reduce
recidivism to some extent (Lipsey; Schneider). 'But restitution and community service should not be judged solely in
terms of recidivism reduction - their value may lie more in their restorative and accountability enhancing functions." The
New Hanover County CSR Program incorporates best practices according to cited research to facilitate the youth
completing their court ordered and/or diverted obligations successfully and in a timely manner while teaching, modeling
and encouraging civic, community and social responsibilities all the while incorporating a service learning model to the
youth we serve.

NAME OF COMPONENT: I Juvenile Psychological Counseling
The Juvenile Psychological Counseling Program Component addresses identified needs of youth and families by
providing individualized evidence based family counseling services via Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(TF -CBT). Agency clinicians providing treatment receive ten hours of online TF -CBT specific training from the Medical
University of South Carolina and twelve hours TF -CBT specific training from a TF -CBT certified trainer. The
implementation of the TF -CBT model includes informed consent from client guardians, explanation of the treatment
model and expected number of sessions, pre & post test measurements (Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist and
Beck Youth Depression, Anxiety and Self Concept Inventories) and use of a TF -CBT fidelity instrument (TF -CBT Brief
Practice Checklist). Treatment is administered in a standardized manner using the TF -CBT PRACTICE clinical
treatment model and includes structured curriculum utilized via the TF -CBT Workbook. All youth have an individualized
service plan that outlines goals specific to youth and their family and specified service interventions and frequency of
service specific to the individualized needs of the youth and family. Guardian input is mandatory in developing of all
service plans and their participation in treatment is required. DPS Court Counselors are kept abreast of the client's
progress via 30 day progress reports, as well as ongoing verbal/written communication between the clinician and court
counselor at least weekly in the form of consultation/treatment team meetings, weekly staffing, phone calls, etc.
Specifically, inappropriate youth behaviors are redirected by utilizing TF -CBT coping skills, relaxation exercises,
diversion to another therapeutic tool or utilization of youth's crisis plan when necessary. Outpatient substance use
counseling provided via contracted service with a licensed clinical addiction specialist (LCAS). Outpatient sex offense
specific treatment is provided utilizing Timothy J. Kahn's Pathways/Roadmaps to Recovery treatment models,
depending on age and cognitive functioning level of the particular youth. The treatment models utilized take a cognitive
behavioral approach and cover common treatment targets, including: responsibility taking, cognitive distortions and
thinking errors, victim empathy, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, sex education, relationship skills, healthy
boundaries, arousal control, trauma resolution and improved family functioning. Treatment is individualized and guided
by a comprehensive evaluation. Service plans are individualized and guardian participation is mandatory. All families
are offered County funded case management services to help link them with any other identified needs that could help
improve family functioning and self-sufficiency. Counseling may be provided in a face to face setting, via telehealth, or
a combination of the two, depending on client preference, unique circumstances, and pandemic related factors.
9. Best Practice Model: Describe what model or evidence-supported/best practice the program is based upon.
For the Juvenile Psychological Counseling Component, the evidence-based/best practice model that clinical staff
utilizes is Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF -CBT). TF -CBT is rated as an effective evidence based
intervention by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Model Programs Guide. Agency clinicians
providing treatment will receive ten hours of online TF -CBT specific training from the Medical University of South
Carolina and twelve hours TF -CBT specific training from a TF -CBT certified trainer.TF—CBT is a treatment intervention
that integrates cognitive and behavioral interventions with traditional child -abuse therapies. Its focus is to help children
talk directly about their traumatic experiences in a supportive environment. The program operates through the use of a
parental treatment component and several child—parent sessions. The parent component teaches parents parenting
skills to provide optimal support for their children. The parent—child sessions encourage the child to discuss the
traumatic events directly with the parent and both the parent and child to communicate questions, concerns, and
feelings more openly. Typically, TF—CBT is implemented as a relatively brief intervention, usually lasting from 12 to 18
weekly sessions. These aim to provide the parents and children with the skills to better manage and resolve
distressing thoughts, emotions, and reactions related to traumatic life events; improve the safety, comfort, trust, and
growth in the child; and develop parenting skills and family communication. For juvenile sex offender specific treatment
the evidence supported model utilized is Timothy J. Kahn's Pathways/Roadmaps to Recovery treatment model,
depending on the age and cognitive functioning level of the particular youth. The treatment model utilized takes a

audit, combined with the audit of financial accounts, shall be deemed to be the single audit described by the, "Federal
Single Audit Act of 1984".

for profit organizations shall file with DPS and the County a copy of that Sponsoring Agency's policy addressing
conflicts of interest that may arise involving the Sponsoring Agency's management employees and the members of its
board of directors or other governing body. The policy shall address situations in which any of these individuals may
directly or indirectly benefit, except as the Sponsoring Agency's employees or members of its board or other
governing body, from the Sponsoring Agency's disbursing of State funds and shall include actions to be taken by the
Sponsoring Agency or the individual, or both to avoid conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety. The
policy shall be filed before the County or DPS may disburse any funds. The Sponsoring Agency shall also complete

authorized representatives of DPS, the County Government, JCPC and Sponsoring Agency.
Severability: In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds that a provision or requirement of this Program
Agreement violates any applicable law, each such provision or requirement shall continue to be enforced to the extent
it is not in violation of law or is not otherwise unenforceable and all other provisions and requirements of this Program
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Termination for Cause: If, through any cause, the Sponsoring Agency shall fail to fulfill its obligations under this
Program Agreement in a timely and proper manner, DPS shall have the right to terminate this Program Agreement by
giving written notice to the Sponsoring Agency and specifying the effective date thereof. In that event, all finished or
unfinished deliverable items prepared by the Sponsoring Agency under this Program Agreement shall, at the option of
DPS, become its property and the Sponsoring Agency shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for
any satisfactory work completed on such materials, minus any payment or compensation previously made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, the Sponsoring Agency shall not be relieved of liability to DPS for damages
sustained by DPS by virtue of the Sponsoring Agency's breach of this agreement, and DPS may withhold any
payment due the Sponsoring Agency for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due
DPS from such breach can be determined. The filing of a petition for bankruptcy by the Sponsoring Agency shall be
an act of default under this Program Agreement.
Termination without Cause: DPS, the County Government, or the Sponsoring Agency may terminate this
Agreement at any time and without cause by giving at least thirty (30) days advance written notice to the other. If this

rata basis for services satisfactorily provided to DPS under this Program Agreement prior to Program Agreement

civil insurrection, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, or other catastrophic natural event, pandemic, or act of God.
Survival of Promises: All promises, requirements, terms, conditions, provisions, representations, guarantees, and
warranties contained herein shall survive the Program Agreement expiration or termination date unless specifically

CONSUMER DISCLOSURE
From time to time, NC Dept of Public Safety (we, us or Company) may be required by law to
provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and
conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the
DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign) electronic signing system. Please read the information below
carefully and thoroughly, and if you can access this information electronically to your
satisfaction and agree to these terms and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking
the a€ -I agreea€TM button at the bottom of this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after signing session and, if you
elect to create a DocuSign signer account, you may access them for a limited period of time
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a
$0.00 per -page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the
procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign a€ -Withdraw Consenta€TM form on the signing page
of a DocuSign envelope instead of signing it. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn
your consent to receive required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no
longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically
from us or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
How to contact NC Dept of Public Safety:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically,
to request paper copies of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to
receive notices and disclosures electronically as follows:
To contact us by email send messages to: david.pozun@ncdps.gov
To advise NC Dept of Public Safety of your new e-mail address
To let us know of a change in your e-mail address where we should send notices and disclosures
electronically to you, you must send an email message to us at david.pozun@ncdps.gov and in
the body of such request you must state: your previous e-mail address, your new e-mail address.
We do not require any other information from you to change your email address..
In addition, you must notify DocuSign, Inc. to arrange for your new email address to be reflected
in your DocuSign account by following the process for changing e-mail in the DocuSign system.
To request paper copies from NC Dept of Public Safety
To request delivery from us of paper copies of the notices and disclosures previously provided
by us to you electronically, you must send us an e-mail to david.pozun@ncdps.gov and in the
body of such request you must state your e-mail address, full name, US Postal address, and
telephone number. We will bill you for any fees at that time, if any.
To withdraw your consent with NC Dept of Public Safety
To inform us that you no longer want to receive future notices and disclosures in electronic
format you may:
i. decline to sign a document from within your DocuSign session, and on the subsequent
page, select the check -box indicating you wish to withdraw your consent, or you may;
ii. send us an e-mail to david.pozun@ncdps.gov and in the body of such request you must
state your e-mail, full name, US Postal Address, and telephone number. We do not need
any other information from you to withdraw consent.. The consequences of your
