Home-Based Services for High-Risk Youth: Assessment, Wraparound Planning, and Service Delivery
Civic Research Institute, Inc, March 2011, Pages: 434
Home-based wraparound services work. This important new book shows how.
- How to make the family a full partner in your work with children and use the power and strength of the family to achieve healthy outcomes
- How to assess the emotional needs of youth throughout each key developmental stage of childhood and adolescence, tailor home- and community-based services, and fine-tune service planning for each client
- How to hire, train, motivate, and reward staff while reducing turnover and burnout
Plus, you'll get sample checklists, forms, and worksheets for hiring and staff development, client assessment, and individual service plan development.
Across the country there is a move to work with high-risk youth at home and within their communities. Home-based wraparound services can be exceptionally effective but they also take careful planning and the proper strategic focus and coordination of services. Written in a refreshingly clear, jargon-free style and packed with insights from the author's experience in the field, Home-Based Services for High-Risk Youth helps you:
- Deliver home-based services in a manner that is family-driven/youth-guided, culturally sensitive, strengths-based, comprehensive, and community based.
- Apply strategies that engage families and youth as full partners in all phases of service delivery.
- Prepare a crisis plan for each intervention.
- Establish an effective structure for the assessment process of youth and families.
- Interpret the clinical relevance of observations in the caregiver/child relationship.
- Understand the unique ways in which youth at various stages of development manifest mental health concerns, and tailor interventions accordingly.
- Coordinate the activities of direct support workers in the field in concert with the wraparound process.
- Develop effective hiring and supervisory strategies that will reduce the likelihood of staff burnout and high turnover.
