Key Goals
The program helps youth and families address challenges before they escalate into crises that could lead to hospitalization, residential treatment, or placement disruption.
Stabilize Placements
Placement stability as an outcome goal in child welfare performance measurement is grounded in the importance of providing stability for children as they are developing attachments and relationships to caregivers.
Reduce Higher Levels of Care
Involves a structured "step-down" process, moving patients from intensive settings (inpatient, residential, PHP, or IOP) to lower-intensity outpatient care. This transition requires a detailed discharge plan, regular therapy, and increased personal responsibility to manage symptoms, facilitating recovery and long-term stability in a less restrictive environment.
Support Caregivers
The program helps youth and families address challenges before they escalate into crises that could lead to hospitalization, residential treatment, or placement disruption.
Promote Permanency for Youth
involves securing lifelong, loving connections through reunification, adoption, or guardianship, especially for older youth in foster care. Key strategies include conducting diligent searches for kin, engaging youth in decision-making, providing stable kinship care, and fostering relational permanency—lasting connections with supportive adults—to prevent aging out without support.
