  14. DMC FOCUS GROUP RESULTS • Parent and youth feel they are not “heard” by the system • Lack of transparency in the juvenile justice system • Confusion about the titles and roles of various system stakeholders • Concerns that youth in the City of Syracuse, esp youth of color, are being over-policed, compared to youth in suburbs • Lack of activities and opportunities for youth in the City of Syracuse • Feel the juvenile justice system is designed to punish youth, not redirect youth

  15. RECOMMENDATIONS • Continue to monitor DMC through the collection and analysis of quantitative data. • Fully implement the new Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) with integrity. • Continue to build system and community partnerships. • Ensure that DMC reduction is integral to juvenile justice reform.

  16. ACCESS TEAM CQI • Started taking calls in March 2011 • Began taking PINS calls in August 2011 • 203 calls in February (previous high was 176) • 73 new intakes (previous high was 44) • Consistent “thirds” (one third intake, one third PINS, one third Information and Referral)

  17. ACCESS SURVEY • Phone survey with 31 families in November/ December (full results are in packet) • Overall, feedback was positive Areas for continued improvement: • Timely follow-up with families • Length of time to receive right services • Follow-up on family’s satisfaction with service they were referred to

  18. RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT • Next to psychiatric hospitalization, it is the most restrictive and most costly intervention • More effective with PTSD and emotional disorders than ADHD and behavioral disorders • Intensive exposure to other struggling peers may result in increased antisocial behavior • Most gains are made in the first 6 months • Gains are often not sustained or generalized post-discharge Perspectives on Residential and Community-Based Treatment for Youth and Families available on the Building Bridges website

  19. BEST PRACTICES IN RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT • Meaningful family involvement • Focus on issues that led to admission (not on curing all symptoms) • Continual focus on discharge from Day 1: what does youth need to be successful post-discharge? • Community services and community involvement and while youth is in treatment

  20. RESIDENTIAL REDESIGN • System of Care grant gives us a unique opportunity to reshape how we use residential to improve long-term outcomes • The entire continuum of services will need to adapt, not just the residential providers • Shift treatment/outcome focus from “success during placement” to success in home, school and community post-discharge • Use residential as a strategic, time-limited intervention to achieve specific goals

  21. NATIONAL BUILDING BRIDGES INITIATIVE • Strengthen integration of residential and community-based services • Agreed upon set of Core Values • Shared responsibility for long-term outcomes of children • Provides a framework and tools to redesign our system re: use of residential

  22. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS • What drives the decision to use residential services? • What do we want/expect from residential (services and outcomes) that we can’t currently achieve using home/community-based services? Please select a note taker for each group.
