2 Some Hurdles. not obstacles Done in secrecy Fear & reluctance Delayed disclosure Recantation
3 To Begin. The key to a successful investigation is to focus on corroborating the statement of the victim.
4 Investigation Every one must be done like its your first Interview of Victim Interview of the Fresh Complaint Witness Interview of the Non-offending Parent Evidence Collection Interview of the Offender
5 When we interview the victim we look for.. Details that have the Ring of Truth
6 Interview of the Victim Victim under age 13 State V Kelly Michaels Once tainted the distortion of the child s memory is irremediable
7 Interview of the Victim Interviewer must show sensitivity and compassion Obtaining details Prove or disprove a motive to fabricate
8 Fresh Complaint Witness Exception to the Hearsay Rule Determine circumstances of the disclosure Demeanor of victim when disclosing Details of disclosure
9 Interview of non-offending parent Gain history of family dynamics Behavior of victim before and after assault Suspects response to the allegation Distinctive anatomical features of suspect scars, tattoos birth marks, etc... Corroborating victims statement
10 Evidence Collection Victim- Medical examination, clothing, etc... Suspect- Exemplars, clothing, etc. Scene- Bed sheets, clothing, bodily fluids, photos, souvenirs, etc...
11 Interrogation The defendant s own confession is probably the most probative and damaging evidence that can be admitted against him. Justice Byron White Bruton vs. U.S.
12 Interrogation Must Not Let The Child Stand Alone Must be Prepared Understand the Typologies Must make good first contact Must obtain statement legally without threats, coercion or promises.

34 2 New Jersey Department of Children and Families Commissioner Division of Children s System of Care (formerly DCBHS) Division of Child Protection & Permanency (formerly DYFS) Division of Family & Community Partnerships (formerly DPCP) Division on Women Office of Adolescent Services
35 3 Children s System of Care Serves children, adolescents, young adults under 21 with emotional and behavioral health care challenges, intellectual/ developmental disabilities, an/or substance use challenges CSOC is committed to providing these services based on the needs of the child and family in a family-centered, community-based environment. Statewide services with access through single point of entry Voluntary and on Medicaid platform Local System partners are located in the community and aligned with Court Vicinages
36 4 Children s System of Care Objectives To help youth succeed At Home Successfully living with their families and reducing the need for out-of-home treatment settings. In School Successfully attending the least restrictive and most appropriate school setting close to home. In the Community Successfully participating In the community and becoming independent, productive, and lawabiding citizens.
37 5 System Components Contracted System Administrator Care Management Organization Mobile Response & Stabilization Services Family Support Organization CSA is the single portal for access to care available 24/7/365 Utilizes a wraparound model to serve youth and families with complex needs Crisis response and planning available 24/7/365 Family-led support and advocacy for parents/caregivers and youth
38 6 PerformCare CSA provides access to the right care at the right time: Authorizes services based on the most recent clinical information Does not provide direct services. Anyone helping children and families may contact CSA on behalf of a youth in need of a referral. However, the parent/legal guardian of the youth must give consent for services. Has a dedicated DCP&P Unit to assist case workers in accessing services.
39 Care Management Organizations CMOs are agencies that provide care coordination and wraparound care planning for children and their families with moderate and complex needs and are responsible for facilitating access to a full range of treatment and support services They facilitate and work within child-family teams to develop individualized plans of care; youth focused, family driven; youth and family voice and choice Responsible for facilitating access to a full range of treatment and support services Focus is on providing these services in the least restrictive environment, addressing community safety, before accessing out of home treatment
40 8 Child Family Team Child Family Team (CFT) A team of family members, professionals, and significant community residents identified by the family and organized by the care management organization to design and oversee implementation of the Individual Service Plan. CFT members should include, but are not limited to, the following individuals: Child/Youth/Young Adult Family Support Partner (FSO) Parent(s)/Legal Guardian Care Management Organization Natural supports as identified and selected by youth and family Treating Providers (in-home, out-of-home, etc.) Educational Professionals Physical Health Providers (pediatrician, specialist) Probation Officer (if applicable) Child Protection & Permanency (CP&P)(if applicable)
41 9 The Important Role of Assessment The vision of CSOC is to create positive outcomes by: Identifying the child and family s needs Determining the most appropriate Intensity of Service Delivering the most appropriate services for the most appropriate length of time Using standard assessment tools the foundation of the Children s System of Care. Positive Outcomes Appropriate Length of Stay Appropriate Services Appropriate Intensity of Service Child and Family Needs Assessment Tools 9
42 1 0 Evaluations needed for OOH Psychiatric evaluation if youth is on psychotropic medications Bio Psycho Social evaluation (identifies strengths and needs in several domains) Psychosexual evaluation: 1. Use of actuarial instruments to identify risk level 2. Identifies intensity, frequency and duration of treatment, CFT determines where that treatment will occur 3. Discovery, collateral information 4. Must be completed by a psychologist or Licensed Clinician with appropriate credentials
43 1 1 WHAT IS VISION OF OUT-OF-HOME TREATMENT?
44 1 2 Child Family Team (CFT) decision Voluntary service (unless court ordered) Continuum of care based on intensity, frequency, and duration Based on clinical review by PerformCare All inclusive service based on contracted deliverables Time-limited intervention (target is 9-12 months) One episode of care is optimal Holistic approach to care Engaging, safe, welcoming environment Trauma-informed Individualized based on each youth s needs Stabilizes identified risk behaviors Small community-based settings Attendance to community schools whenever possible Actively engages families throughout entire course of treatment
45 1 3 Trauma-Informed Care Departmental Initiative. Do not focus on surface behavior. Interventions should address underlying trauma reaction. Implicit trauma indicators. Safe, consistent, nurturing environment. The Six Core Strategies for Reducing Seclusion and Restraint Use.
46 1 4 Behavioral Health (IRTS) Intensive Residential Treatment Services Intellectual/Dev Disabilities (IPCH-IDD) Intensive Psychiatric Community Home-IDD (PCH) Psychiatric Community Home (PCH-IDD) Psychiatric Community Home- IDD (SPEC) Specialty SPEC-IDD (Specialty-IDD) (RTC) Residential Treatment Services GH 2-IDD (Group Home Level 2-IDD) (GH) Group Home GH-1 IDD (Group Home Level 1-IDD) (TH) Treatment Home SSH IDD (Special Skills Home-IDD)
47 1 5 What does OOH treatment look like? IOS Description Supervision/Ratio Clinical Treatment* Residential Treatment Center (RTC) Site design varies from small community based homes to larger campus style settings within the community Provides clinical treatment in highly structured setting for youth who present severe and persistent challenges in social, emotional, behavioral, and/or psychiatric functioning 1:5 ratio 24/7 staff supervision Minimum of two awake staff at all times Intake assessment 6 hours of clinical time per week (ind/group/family).67 hours per week of psychiatric time if youth is on meds 6 hours per week of allied therapy Some educational services are provided on site 1.50 hours per week of nursing 5.6 hours per week of case management *average per youth
48 1 6 What does OOH treatment look like? IOS Description Supervision/Ratio* Clinical Treatment* Special ty (SPEC) Site design varies: treatment home settings, small community based homes, and larger campus style settings within the community. Provides specialized clinical treatment in very highly structured setting for youth with specialized needs including complex trauma, fire setting, problematic sexual behavior, and aggravated assault. Some educational services are provided on site. 1:4 ratio 24/7 staff supervision Minimum of two awake staff at all times* Intake assessment 8 hours of clinical time per week (ind/group/family) 1.25 hours per week of psychiatric time, if youth is on meds 6 hours per week of allied therapy 1.5 hours per week of nursing 5.5 hours per week of case management *average per youth *Except for Second Chance
49 1 7 Specialty Programs Created to bring youth back from out of state programs; Once Perform Care provides IOS, SRTU consultant reviews all referral/clinical information and utilizes the agencies profiles in CYBER to manually match youth to the programs; No eject-no reject contracts; transitions must be approved by SRTU clinical administrator; Treats youth with fire setting, sexually reactive and/or sexually problematic behaviors(moderate to high risk); complex trauma; assaultive behaviors
50 1 8 Treatment CSOC does not prescribe clinical models for our Specialty Providers; We do expect evidenced based or best practices; The whole youth is treated, not just the targeted behavior(including trauma from prior victimization);
51 1 9 Key to successful outcomes = INVOLVEMENT!! CFT should COLLABORATE and COMMUNICATE on a regular basis; Probation/Parole is a valued member; CFT members should attend ALL treatment team meetings and meet with the youth regularly; Parental involvement is CRUCIAL for success. Involvement includes regular visits, active treatment team participation, and full compliance with identified tasks (therapy, safety plans, supervision); Parental visitation is EXTREMELY important in preparing the youth for eventual return home (including family time). These visits assist in relieving anxieties, strengthens the family bond, and helps prepare the parent for their child s return home.
52 2 0 Transition Planning Discharge planning should begin on the first day of admission. CFT should collaborate in identifying informal/formal supports and other necessary services that promote sustainable success; If youth is not prepared to return to a non-clinical setting, the CFT may pursue a Transitional Joint Care Review (lower, lateral, higher Intensity of Service); Transition to another IOS requires careful consideration. It should be done with clear purpose and expectation; Next transitional setting should actively work towards eventual permanency goal, whether be to return home or to another non-clinical setting (i.e. Independent Living).
53 2 1 Key points to remember. Removing a child from their natural environment is a life altering decision! The pursuit of OOH treatment is a CFT decision that should be made with clear purpose AND expectations! Short length of stay/one episode of care is optimal! CFT collaboration and communication is CRUCIAL! IOS is NOT defined by its environment! IOS is a clinical decision made by PerformCare based on provided clinical information. Parental involvement is EXTREMELY important!
54 2 2 CSOC Project Sexually Problematic Work Group Led by specialty providers with involvement from CMO and CSOC Goal is to provide a universal framework for best practice in the three following areas: 1) Evaluations 2) Clinical Practice 3) Transition to Community
