This program eliminates existing service gaps in the continuum of care, while diversifying family centered treatment. The model requires caseloads to remain on average 3 families with ten hours of treatment per week completed by one professional. Services are rendered in the home for 4-6 weeks.

Statement of the Problem: In concise terminology, describe how the program will address continuum need(s) in the county. What are the Intensive Intervention needs the program intends to address? How will the program effectively serve juveniles at different levels of involvement with juvenile justice? Describe the gap in continuum of services for the population you will serve. Currently, in New Hanover and Pender County there are minimal evidence -based family counseling programs that are able to meet the network needs. New Hanover and Pender County's continuum of care for youth has gaps that keep youth and families from being safeguarded in their home communities. These gaps cause many Juvenile Justice involved families to be underserved or have behaviors that escalate until higher levels of care become needed. Many of these youth are disqualified from other enhanced levels of care for a myriad of reasons. The existing array of services is insufficient to meet the community-based family service needs of youth that do not qualify for mental services because they have not engaged in lower levels of care despite current high-risk behaviors or do not qualify based on sub -clinical mental health needs. Other gaps are families that need shorter periods of treatment. Most models of community-based services last for three to six months and employ models not supported by the Office of Juvenile Justice. A third, and critically impacted portion, are privately insured families. These families find themselves in a vulnerable position because their insurance companies do not cover the needed care or have deductibles that are too high for families to financially support their child's care. This leaves families being unable to comply with legal requirements because they are unable to meet their child's legal, behavioral, and mental health needs. This program has been able to meet youth on Post -Release and start engaging with the family prior to discharge. 2. Target Population: Describe the target population, including age, and the steps taken to insure that the target population is served. This program will serve youth from six to seventeen years old. The service will be open to male and female clients. The following clients will be appropriate for services: 1.Juvenile court referred youth, between the ages of 10 and 17, or older youth remaining under juvenile court jurisdiction, who have received a Level II disposition or Level III disposition, 2.Juvenile court referred youth that are high risk Level I adjudicated juveniles, with a Medium Risk or Medium/High Needs Score; 3.Juvenile court referred Level III youth re-entering the community on community placement or Post Release Supervision (PRS); 4.Juvenile court referred Level II youth who are most at -risk of a commitment to a YDC; 5. Juvenile court referred Level III or Level II youth re-entering the community from a residential or out of home placement. 3. Program Goal(s): Provide a brief statement to describe the overall purpose and effect of the program. The overarching goal of the program is to form an enhanced network of services to decrease delinquent and criminal behaviors, reduce unnecessary out -of -home placements, and offer concrete supports to families during time of needs. Coastal Horizons Center's mission is to promote choices for healthier lives and safer communities. This program will advance the mission of our organization by helping to ensure that some of the most marginalized juveniles have their mental health and behavioral health needs met. The developers of this model describe the goals as followed: HOMEBUILDERS® provides intensive, in-home crisis Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: AEDAAFF4-B8C4-418A-AC8A-7E933704F7E1 SECTION III: COMPONENT SUMMARY NAME OF COMPONENT: Homebuilder's Family Preservation intervention, counseling, and life -skills education for families who have children at imminent risk of placement in state - funded care.

These elevated risks can be addressed through the funding of the Homebuilder's model for this county. Programming will address risk and needs though Protective Factors such as concrete support in times of need, children's social and emotional competence, knowledge of parenting and child development, social connections and parent resiliency. The program focuses on stabilizing the crisis which put the family at risk. With a focus on making small but significant changes the ATC / Intensive Intervention Specialist uses the NCFAS assessment to address needs in the environment, parental capabilities, family interactions, family safety, child well-being, social/community life, and trauma. These factors affect risk related behaviors such as gang membership, alcohol and drug use, anger management and aggression. Specific strategies/intervention used are assessments, intensive family/individual counseling, client advocacy, case management, development/enhancement of parenting skills, referrals to other services and concrete services. This program will allow Court Counselors to have greater access to evidence -based treatment, with proven supports. Additionally, this program will give Court Counselors more access to an organization that they have an established partnership, and that has a wealth of resources housed in one agency.

Location: List physical address(es) and describe where program services are delivered. The program is a community based program, and will primarily be delivered in the juvenile's home. Other acceptable service delivery places would include services delivered to meet the holistic needs of the child and/or family such as school, mental health facility, court, Division of Juvenile Justice facility, detention center, and other relevant collaborative services. The corporations physical address is 615 Shipyard Blvd, Wilmington, NC 28412. 2. Operation: Describe the daily/weekly schedule of program operation. The ATC / Intensive Intervention worker and their supervisor will adhere to the fidelity of the Homebuilders Model while providing routine and crisis care available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year. Each family will always receive minimally forty hours of face-to-face contact and have no less than on average three visits per week. The family will develop a service plan with their Child and Family team. The service plan will serve as the guiding mechanism for how their services will be tailored. Scheduled hours will be flexible to meet the needs of youth and families, and this will include night and weekend hours. For this reason, the worker will only carry two cases at a time per the fidelity of the model. 3. Staff Positions: Describe paid or volunteer position qualifications, (certifications, degrees, work experience) and position(s) responsibilities relative to this component. This time-limited service ultimately strives to help parents to have the skills to maintain their child in the home, and to develop the necessary skills to keep all parties safe. Our professionals are trained in ten hours of trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, thirteen initial hours of North Carolina's System of Care Model, Motivational Interviewing, eleven hour of crisis intervention including eight hours of NCI, twelve hours of Person Centered Thinking, and multiple other related trainings for behavioral healthcare specialists. These trainings are intended to be the starting point of investment in the youth and families that we serve. The staff will attend training in the Homebuilder's model provided by Homebuilder's State Consultant. The funding will pay for 1 FTE time, dedicated ATC / Intensive Intervention Specialist and another .25 FTE for the ATC / Intensive Intervention Program Manager in order to maintain the current number of clients being served in the community. These staff members will have a Bachelors, and preferably a Master's degree in a social services field and at least one year of relevant work or internship experience. The program will receive oversight by the Homebuilder's State Consultant that is also trained in the model. The Homebuilder's State Consultant will also have a minimally a Bachelors degree, preferably a Master's degree along with three years experience working in the social service field. This position will not be fully funded through this funding stream. The responsibilities will be to assist the ATC / Intensive Intervention Program Manager and Specialist with on- call crisis situations, training needs, and supervision related to services, progress, issues, updates, and expectations of the program.

Service Type SPEP: Describe implementation to include: Primary Service: Family Counseling; Secondary Service: None Evidence -Based Program Name: Homebuilder's Intensive Family Preservation Services Target Weeks: 4; Target Hours: 40 Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: AEDAAFF4-B8C4-418A-AC8A-7E933704F7E1 SECTION IV: COMPONENT NARRATIVE (attach for each component) NAME OF COMPONENT: Homebuilder's Family Preservation 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. Please describe: a) The specific referral, screening, and admission process, including at a minimum, the staff involved with the decision process. b) Interaction with Juvenile Court Counselors, other juvenile justice staff, and youth development centers, if applicable, including frequency, ongoing meetings, and other means of communication. Coastal Horizons Center values a collaborative process with referring youth that stresses the importance of timely admission, and to the correct level of care. Based on the Homebuilder's model, youth must be accepted into services and have their first appointment with a staff member within forty-eight hours of referral. If the program does not have any available positions then the referring Court Counselor will learn immediately that there are no available spaces, and when the next projected opening will occur. If a youth is being referred from Youth Development Center then the Specialist will attend the meeting and these youth will receive priority with spaces on the Specialist's caseload. Referrals are are given to the ATC/ Intensive Intervention Program Manager. The referral will consist of the NCDPS Juvenile Justice/JCPC Universal Referral Form, Family Data Sheet, YASI, and any assessments available that have been completed in the last 12 months. The screening process will ensure that the client is a level 2 or level 3 disposition and are within the ages of 12 to 18. ATC/ Intensive Intervention Program Manager will review referrals with Homebuilder's State Consultant as received. Reasoning for why a referral is not accepted is if the youth in question is a level 1 or diversion contract, or under the age of 12 or over the age of 18. Coastal Horizons Center has been an active participant in local JJSAMHP committees as well as Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils. These meeting serve as a vehicle to continue communication with vested stakeholders, and understand the perception of services being offered. Our program intends to follow the expectations generally held by most JJSAMHP partnerships such as notifying the referring Court Counselor at time of referral, communication once an intake has been scheduled, providing any assessments or screens completed at intake within five days of intake, a pre -closure meeting is held one week from discharge, and termination and aftercare paperwork is shared within one week of discharge. 6. Termination Process: Describe the termination process, to include: a) The staff responsible for making decisions. b) The process for making the decision to terminate. c)The criteria for a successful termination, satisfactory termination, unsuccessful completion, and non-compliant termination. The Homebuilder's model requires a pre -closure meeting to occur on the week of the twenty-first day of service. This is the time when a determination to extend to six weeks typically occurs. At this time, the service plan will be updated to reflect progress made and aftercare recommendations. A discharge summary will be made available one week from the discharge date or sooner as requested. The specialist will maintain open communication with the court counselor regarding the family's progress with the service. During the Pre -Closure meeting, open conversation will be had with all parties involved regarding termination. Successful termination requires the minimum number of hours have been completed (40), progress has been made towards all goals developed at the start of services, and no new complaints have been received. Satisfactory termination will be considered when the minimum of hours have been completed (40), progress has been made in only one goal of multiple goals developed at the start of services, and there are no new complaints have been Form structure last revised 12/31/2012 Department of Public Safety DocuSign Envelope ID: AEDAAFF4-B8C4-418A-AC8A-7E933704F7E1 SECTION IV: COMPONENT NARRATIVE (attach for each component) NAME OF COMPONENT: Homebuilder's Family Preservation received. Unsuccessful termination will be considered when the minimum number of hours have not been completed (40), no progress made towards goals that were developed at the start of services, or if there are new complaints that require additional adjudication. Non-compliant termination will be considered when client absconds from home, or refuses to meet with specialist after at least 2 interventions to address attendance/engagement concerns. How are the Juvenile Court Counselor and/or other juvenile justice staff involved in the termination process? The court counselor is actively involved in the termination process. The court counselor is invited to the termination meeting with the juvenile and their family. The court counselor is provided with a copy of the closing letter, case closure form (indicates goals and contact information for referrals) and weekly progress form (indicates weekly contact hours and areas addressed), and a discharge summary within seven days of discharge. 7. Referring Agency Interaction: Describe the interaction with Juvenile Court Counselors and/or other juvenile justice staff, including how client progress will be communicated. During the duration of service, the Court Counselor will receive at least weekly phone communication, all crisis or behaviors that impact probationary status will be communicated in a period not to exceed twenty-four hours, and face- to-face meetings will be accommodated as requested or as needed to coordinate care. Court Services staff will also receive written correspondence at a minimum of once every 30 days. 8. Intervention/Treatment: Describe specifically: What will the component do to address intensive intervention continuum needs and/or redirect inappropriate youth behavior? How will the component address the identified needs of the youth and family? What interventions will typically be utilized in this component? How will parents/guardians be involved? What is the therapeutic element within the service? The Institute for Family Development states "HOMEBUILDERSO also works with youth and their families to correct problems that contribute to delinquency, while allowing the youths to remain in the community. Staff help clients find the right school setting, attend classes regularly, adhere to curfews, comply with the court, participate in constructive activities with peers, and learn to manage anger and conflict without getting into trouble. Therapists also help parents learn to deal with the stress of raising a difficult adolescent (http://www.institutefamily.org/programs_lFPS.asp, 2015)." The model provides family and individual supportive counseling as appropriate to the education and licensure status of the staff. The model allows flexibility where to place emphasis between the child or caregiver, however, at least one caregiver must be actively involved in the services. The model's key elements are: Intervention at the crisis point: Services start when the families are in crisis. Client families are seen within 24-48 hours of referral. Treatment in the natural setting: Services take place in the client's home or the community where the problems are occurring and, ultimately, where they need to be resolved.

Families are given as much time as they need, when they need it. This accessibility also allows close monitoring of any dangerous situations. Intensity: Services are time-limited and concentrated in a period targeted at 4 weeks. The service is designed to resolve the immediate crisis, and teach the skills necessary for the family to remain together. Each family receives an average of 40 to 50 hours of direct service. Low caseloads: Maximum client capacity is 3 cases. This enables specialists to be accessible and provide intensive services. Low caseloads also allow therapists the time to work on specific psycho -educational interventions, as well as the basic hard service needs of the family. The services are concentrated to take advantage of the time when families are experiencing the most pain, and have the most motivation to change. Research -based interventions: Specialist utilize a range of research -based interventions, including crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, parent education, skill building, and cognitive/behavioral therapy. Flexibility: Services are provided when and where the clients wish. Specialists provide a wide range of services, from helping clients meet the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter, to the most sophisticated therapeutic techniques. Specialists teach families basic skills such as using public transportation systems, budgeting, and where necessary, dealing with the social services system. They also educate families in areas commonly associated with counseling, such as child development, parenting skills, anger management, mood management skills, communications, and assertiveness. 9. Best Practice Model: Describe what evidence based/support model(s) or practice the program will use. North Carolina Child Welfare worked in partnership with Institute of Family Development to employ a state Intensive Family Preservation model based on the Homebuilders program. Our team works with Child Welfare to implement this program, and receive fidelity review with the child welfare state consultant. The Homebuilders model has stringent requirements that staff work with two families on average with the ability to only take a third family during the discharge week of an existing family. This heightened level of commitment to a small caseload ensures that families are creating strong therapeutic alliance, greater accessibility to their worker, and allow for progress at a much faster rate. The model is based on working with families for four weeks with the ability to extend to a maximum period of six weeks at the request of the referring agency in consultation with the worker. National Research has shown that this model is one of the most effective models to deliver home based family preservation services (Kirk, Raymond S., and Diane P. Griffith. 2003. "Intensive Family Preservation Services: Demonstrating Placement Prevention Using Event History Analysis." Social Work Research 28:5-18) and it is endorsed by the OJJDP website.

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.
