ntroduction
The article that the learner selected that addresses a real-world the problem is residential care placement of young children in rural areas. The concern is that these children should be in foster homes instead they are not receiving adequate treatments and have been found to learn different behaviors from other children. 80 percent of children who are in state custody are put in residential facilities are often found to have both mental and behavioral health problems
(Rishel, Morris, Colyer & Gurley-Calvez, 2014).
These children who are removed from their homes are often place in facilities outside of their state, hand have limited stability academically. This article strives to identify efficient components that assist in the residential placement of young children and discover ways to support the needs of children mentally and behaviorally. The residential placement of children should be address through the multidiscipline approach and include a collaboration of professionals.
Body
As a human service professional in order to address the issue of residential care placement amongst young children, I must first be aware of the five competencies of the multidisciplinary approach: gathering information, synthesizing ideas, collaborating, conceptualizing a course of action and communicating. Gathered information would be obtain through perspectives in a conference from professional who work closely with the placement procedure to get their views on the effectiveness of residential placement and determine if it is cost effective. Some of these professionals who would be included in the dialogue would be involve Child Protective Services, caseworkers, residential counselors, judge, lawyers and psychiatrist who represent the children in various settings and environments such as the court room, residential facility or office buildings. These professionals questioned about their role and the part they play in their placement.
During this collaboration foster care and referral policies, placement plans, monitoring protocols and rehabilitation would be analyzed to determine if children who need proper mental and behavioral health problems are getting fair and appropriate treatment. The recommend course of action would be to lower the amount of young children being place in residential placement. Focusing on meeting the children’s needs during the early years of their life and including the family as a whole will prevent behavioral and mental problems from happen so frequently and allow these children to remain home with their families. According to

CHAPTER ONE Introduction to Case Management
Surviving and Thriving as a Case Manager
Ellen
The agency I work for is located in the northwestern United States. We serve all age ranges. It is a community mental health center. The center has several different campuses across the county. I believe they serve around 18,000 people: children, adults and older adults. And the programs that they offer are quite extensive. They have counseling services, forensic services, housing and rehabilitation, case management, intensive case management, and then different psycho-educational sorts of things they do as a group. I had two positions within the agency. It is not unusual to stay in an agency and assume a new position.
At first I worked for a program that provided extended support and we provided intensive case management to adults and older adults who were chronically mentally ill. So I worked with a lot of folks who had psychotic disorders and anxiety and depression that were living mostly in adult family homes in the community, which are small residential facilities. They have twenty-four–hour care within the homes and so my role as a case manager was to go to those homes a few times a week to do just case management things.The case manager's job is to make sure clients are thriving in their environment, and everyone is safe and healthy.
I worked in that position for about two years and I carried a caseload of between 20 and 30 people at any given time. We spent a lot of time traveling between houses. And then with the shifts in the budget, I transferred to a different position. I worked in one of the adult community support clinics in the south side of the county. At that particular clinic I was a case manager. Most of our clients would come to us. These clients were more capable of managing public transportation in order to make it to appointments, but they were still very much mentally ill. They had other marginalizing sorts of issues: housing issues, financial issues.
· —Permission granted from Ellen Carruth, 2012, text from unpublished interview
In this agency we focus on meeting the needs of individuals and their families. The individuals, our clients, have difficult medical diagnoses and our goal is to allow them to live in their homes. In additional, all of our clients have other needs, reflecting social, educational, financial, and other family concerns. Meeting these multiple needs requires service coordination. We provide services that meet the specific needs of each client. And we involve the client and the families in service delivery. Coordination and integration support the management process. Sometimes professionals working in mental health and developmental disabilities do not understand how to work together to serve a single client. We provide the bridge.

Hope for Families who have Children with DD
Submitted by Denise Thiel, MSW, Senior Care Manager
I have been a Care Manager at Families and
Community Together for one year. I have over four years of
work experience at the Arc of Hunterdon, so I’ve come to know
and understand families who have a child with developmental
disabilities very well. In 2013, the Children’s System of Care
expanded to include children and youth who have
developmental disabilities. Although CMOs have always had
some children who were eligible for DD services and several
with autism, CMOs now serve children with DD as a primary
diagnosis.
Our goal is to help children and their families reach
their fullest potential. Children and teens are referred through
PerformCare who does an assessment of their needs. Then they
are linked to a Care Management Organization (CMO), like
Families and Community Together (FACT) in Union County.
FACT serves approximately 670 youth, and about 20 percent
have a diagnosis of a developmental disability.
Care Managers use the wraparound model to serve
families. This means we find every possible resource in the
community to meet the child’s need at home. Sometimes we
include out of home care, but our goal is always to find the
supports and services in the community based on a family’s
needs. During this process, Care Managers overcome many
barriers to secure services that meet the needs of the youth.
Barriers that I have experienced include lack of DD eligibility,
inadequate support from school districts, agencies that lack
sufficient therapists for this population, and limited out of
home providers in New Jersey.
My first task is to establish rapport and listen to each
family’s unique needs to assist in determining which service is
most beneficial. Sometimes I have to help families identify their
needs because families can be overwhelmed by the system and
often feel frustrated. Typical goals may include: enhancing the
youth’s daily living skills (dressing, brushing teeth, etc.);
reducing dangerous behaviors to self or others; assisting the
caregiver improve their skills to advocate for their child’s
individual needs; and establishing linkages to sustainable
community-based resources. I have connected families with
many community services including Family Success Centers,
Mom 2 Mom, The Arc of New Jersey, Autism NJ, Buddy Ball, and
even the Special Olympics. Families are encouraged to complete
PerformCare’s DD eligibility application in order to qualify for
respite, intensive-in-home (IIH) services, and individual support
services (ISS).
This is very important because it helps families access
Medicaid services. I also encourage a family to create a Child
and Family Team (CFT). This is a group of people interested in
the wellbeing of the child and can include Child Study Team
members, family members, therapists and neighbors. Informal
support partners can really help a family identify needs that
they may not have identified.
Continued…
An active CFT may even discuss specific strategies
and goals that may need to be added to the youth’s
Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), for example,
emphasizing the need for pre-vocational skills and
requesting additional evaluations. Sometimes the family
may need a Functional Behavioral Assessment to create a
plan for future supports.
Care Managers help families overcome system
barriers to ensure youth receive what their entitled to in
the least restrictive environment. Sometimes school or
social services systems are not even aware that they are
creating a barrier to care. A big part of my job is education.
I’m fortunate that our system offers a wide range
of services that address adaptive behavior and skills
development to improve the youth’s independence, safety,
and family functioning. Most families don’t know this. I feel
like I am a guide for families through the complex world of
DD services and eligibility. At times, I also support families
through emotional crisis they experience. I try to remain
open minded and compassionate when assisting families
navigate the system. The role of the Care Manager is
rewarding. I give the family hope. Families must commit to
engage in services as they learn techniques of self-care, to
cope with their child’s behavior, and to build a support
network. The gratitude expressed from caregivers
energizes me to continue to be an active agent of stability.
