How does CCR’s framework support children, youth and families across placement settings?
CCR includes:
Increased engagement with children, youth and families
Increased capacity for home-based family care
Limited use of congregate care
Systemic and infrastructure changes to enhance integrated services
What is the vision of CCR?
All children and youth will live with committed, permanent and nurturing families in preparation for their successful transition to adulthood. Services and supports to children and youth will be individualized and coordinated. When needed, congregate care will be a short-term, high-quality, intensive intervention.
What are the guiding principles of CCR?
The child, youth and family’s experiences are valued in all aspects of the process, including but not limited to:
Assessment
Service planning
Placement decisions
Children should not have to change placements for their needs to be met
Multi-agency collaboration and integration of services to improve access and outcomes
Recognize the differences and needs of juvenile system involved youth
Will group homes still be utilized?
Group homes are now referred to Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Programs. A child who cannot be safely placed in a family can receive short-term, residential care with specific care plans and intensive therapeutic interventions and services designed to support the child’s transition to a family. When needed, congregate care will be a short-term, high-quality, intensive intervention.
What factors will contribute to the success of CCR?
The success of CCR is dependent upon all partners, which include but are not limited to the following:
These partners are committed to performing many responsibilities and elements outlined under CCR and sustaining it for years to come by collaborating effectively through increased coordination in providing each child and family with needed services, resources, and supports, rather than requiring the child, youth, and/or caregivers to navigate multiple governmental service providers.
