What has changed for youth in Nebraska/Panhandle since 2011? • Release of DMC document (state) • Enhanced Professional Partners ( state) • Probation Legislations (state) • LB 216 DHHS Youth aging out of System (state) • System of Care for Older Youth (SSRHY) (Panhandle) • Public Private Partnerships Transitioning Youth (state) • Children’s Commission sub Committee ( state) • Society of Care Planning • Children/Youth Mental Health System of Care Planning • Substance Use Prevention ( state) • Panhandle CHIP

  11. Opportunities for Youth What opportunities for youth in the State of Nebraska do we see from these changes? What impact do we desire for the youth of the Panhandle? How can the Panhandle Plan position our region to provide leadership and assure local systems for youth? What challenges do we see?

  12. A Framework For Change Models for Change: Improving the Effectiveness of Juvenile Justice Programs ( and systems) http://www.modelsforchange.net/publications/284 Researched based guide to system planning

  13. Key Areas • Community primary prevention programs oriented toward reducing risk and enhancing strengths for all youth • Focused secondary prevention programs for youth in the community at greatest risk but not involved with the juvenile justice system or, perhaps, diverted from the juvenile justice system • Intervention programs tailored to identified risk and need factors, if appropriate, for first-time minor delinquent offenders provided under minimal sanctions, e.g., diversion or administrative probation • •

  14. Key Areas Cont. • Intervention programs tailored to identified risk and need factors for non-serious repeat offenders and moderately serious first-time offenders provided under intermediate sanctions, e.g., regular probation • Intensive intervention programs tailored to identified risk and need factors for first-time serious or violent offenders provided under stringent sanctions, e.g., intensive probation supervision or residential facilities • Multicomponent intensive intervention programs in secure correctional facilities for the most serious, violent, and chronic offenders • Re-entry ( Transition Services)

  15. Potential Truly Comprehensive Plan for Youth Services in the Panhandle that integrates systems as a foundation for: • Prevention • System of Care Older Youth/Public Private Partnerships • System of Care Children/Youth Mental Health • Juvenile Justice What would be the benefit to the Panhandle?

  16. Reflection System planning and implementation is not about what an individual or agency gets out of the work- but what they put in. • How do we align agency resources with common plan? • How we are accountable to each other for the use of public and private funds toward common outcomes? • How do we assure and sustain a regional continuum of services that produce effective outcomes for the youth served? • How are decisions driven at the community and regional levels?

  17. Guiding Principles of Panhandle Youth Services What are the principles of the Panhandle Youth System?

  18. Child and Adolescent Service System of Program (CASSP) • child-centered, • family focused, • strengths-based, • culturally • competent • provided in the least restrictive appropriate setting. In addition, the system should • involve youth and families as full partners, • include a comprehensive array of services, • individualize to each youth and family, • stress early identification and intervention, and • coordinate among service providers and systems.

  19. Assessment Components DATA • Regional Demographic Data • Child Well Being Indicators • Juvenile Services System Utilization Data (trend data) • Youth Service Array Assessment Additions? Who else needs to be at the table?

  20. Youth Services Assessments • Based on Channeling Change categories. • Challenge: Definitions across systems.

  21. Role of PPHHS What is the role /function of the PPHHS infrastructure in the long term implementation and measurement of this work? Services provided to date: • Assessment • Written Plan • Evaluation of Plan by Priority Area • Preparation for Grants

  22. How should this be structured? Historically this work has been undertaken within the PPHHS Prevention Coalition?
