Developing consensus(July 11 TA meeting)

How are we going to work together?

Lead County vs. Shared Coordination vs. Shared Purchase ….

Who decides?

What approach makes sense?

Mission: To work together to help the children and families in our target populations build and sustain whole lives.

Guiding Principles

Service-based, rather than place-based

Families will be part of the team and the decision-making process

Locally provided continuity of care and services

Culturally competent and strength-based services

Minimal disruptions in connections for youth and families

Focus on safe, stable, permanent living environment

Services customized to meet the family’s unique situation

Family involvement as a key business practice.

Process-based contracting in which key actions are outlined, agreed-upon, and monitored.

Who Are These Youth?

Page 20: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Phase 1 Target Populations

Family Reattachment– Younger children who are in

placement due to a combination of family disruption, abuse and/or dangerous behaviors that can’t be managed in other settings

Pathways to Permanency– Children and youth who are growing

up in placement and do not have a permanent plan

Page 21: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Phase 2 Target Populations

Bridge to Success and Safety– Youth with complex needs who are

mandated to out of home placement in the juvenile justice system but are currently in detention

Reconnecting and Reconstructing– Sexually exploited girls who are

unable to stay in placement using current approaches

Page 22: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

How Many Youth?

All youth/children in this pilot must be:– A dependent or ward of the court

described in section 300 or 602 of the Welfare & Institutions Code and/or,

– Receiving services under AB 3632

Family Reattachment – 100 Pathways to Permanence – 600

Page 23: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Criteria for Determining Target Population

Statistical case review – CWS/CMS

Individual case review – look for common characteristics

Optimal volume to sustain population?

Is there an existing cross-system partnership?

Can a program be regionally implemented?

Page 24: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Common Characteristics

Age and Gender– Male – 12-16 years old

Ethnicity– African American

Average length of placement in group care– More than 2 years

Average number of placements– 5-7– Out of county

Minimal family and community connections

Multiple psychotropic medications Multiple assessments/evaluations

for treatment– Diagnosis?

Objective

• To provide an overview of potential funding streams;

• Discuss potential funding model;

• Next steps.

Page 29: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Current funding sources

• Residential stay AFDC-FC Medi-cal / EPSDT

• Community stayAB 163 Wraparound FundingMedi-cal / EPSDT

Page 30: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Potential Funding Streams

• EPSDT– Case mgmt– Medication support– Therapy

• SB 163 Wraparound

• AFDC Residential Rate– Monthly bed rate board and care– In house stabilization

Page 31: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Potential Funding Streams (con’t)

• Other Wrap Dollars– New or unused slots– Wrap Savings

• Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)

• PSSF / CAPIT / STOP / TANF/Family Preservation/TCM/CALWORKS

• County General Fund

Page 32: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

New Funding Model Assumptions

No new moneys;

Impact of State budget;

Providers will need to be Medi-cal certified for billing and leverage purposes;

Will require waivers and utilization of multiple funding streams;

Page 33: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

New Funding Model Assumptions (con’t)

Need to build service model first, then funding structure (What do we want to achieve, rather than how much money do we have?);

Providers need to be WRAP eligible; and

Counties will need to apply for additional WRAP slots.

Counties would each need to contract with the provider for Medi-cal

Page 34: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

New Funding Model Questions to be answered

• Service Model needs to be discussed and explored with Providers (Providers have knowledge re:making funding work);

• Need cost information from Providers; – Cost per individual youth will vary greatly?– Price Point? (average fair price)– Existing staff to be utilized or new staff?– How will youth without Medi-Cal be served?

Page 35: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Next Steps

• Complete RFQ;

• Hold discussions with providers;

• Create funding model.

Mission, Vision, Collaboration

Sept., 4/5, 2008 Los Angeles County RBS Demonstration 38

MissionThe Los Angeles RBS Demonstration will transform intensive mental health services within the child welfare system to empower families and achieve permanency for youth.

Vision The creation of a strength-based, family-centered, needs-driven system of care that transforms group homes from long-term placements to short-term interventions, which are not place-based, which provide for seamless transitions to continuing care, and which support the safety and permanency needs of youth and their families

LA RBS CollaborativeIn November of 2007, the RBS Collaborative design group was formed and is composed of county, provider and community stakeholders.

Our Vision, Mission, Values & Guiding Principles

“Roots to Grow, Wings to Fly”

Vision Reconnecting children, families & community

Mission Insure that all children and youth who receive residential services

are ultimately able to connect or reconnect with family, school & community so they can achieve productive adult life outcomes

Page 57: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

Statement of Shared Principles & Core Values

RBS reform is critical to improving the ability of children and families in Sacramento County to get the right services, at the right time and the right location.

Residentially Based Services should:

√Demonstrate respect for the culture, individuality and humanity of children, youth and families

√Provide and use thorough assessments to drive services

that are tailored to individual, youth and families

√Help children and youth in placement quickly return to and

remain safe within their families, successful in their schools and integrate into their communities

√Hold all providers and systems accountable for actions and

outcomes

Page 58: Connect the dots by drawing four straight, continuous lines, without lifting the pencil from the paper. Nine Dot Challenge:

RBS Outcome Goals Increased % of children and youth discharged to

permanency Improved placement stability for children and

youth in group care Decreased % of children and youth re-entering

after discharge from group care Shortened length of career stay for children and

youth in group care Decreased % of children and youth placed in out

of county group care
