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,

2. 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
Rishel, Morris, Colyer & Gurley-Calvez,( 2014) the United
States spend about $247 Billion per year on mental and
behavioral disorders. Another way to prevent placement is to
provide additional resources so children especially those I rural
state are not placed in areas outside of their community. The
learner believes this course of action should be communicated
through the legislatives but implemented through human
services professionals in the communities who work closely
with the children such as therapist, case workers, judges,
lawyers and placement specialist. The discussion of these
professionals should ways to deliver services to families who
have children that may have disabilities or issues who need
additional support to help the family obtain stability, wholeness

3. and good mental and behavioral health.
Conclusion
The problem of residential placement has been a concern for the
children who have not been given effective treatment to help
cope with mental and behavioral issues. Utilizing the
multidisciplinary approach allows human service professionals
of different disciplines to work together to come up with
solutions to improve services to the families and children being
placed in residential services. In this way everyone would be
involved, these ideas would have a great impact on the polices
eliminate cost on residential treatment for young children and
provide more resources such as early intervention and head start
that can reduce mental, emotional or behavioral concerns.
Gathering information through meetings and using this
information to create plan is vital to the human service
professionals and allows helpers to provide the best services to
their clients.
