BAC RBS Training Structure Individualized Plans by Programs/Persons Goals: • Assure RBS staff will have assurance that they are participating in baseline values, knowledge and skill activities • Track progress and delivery of training Strategies: • Use tracking methods (Passport) • Review training delivery to determine whether any gaps exist periodically

  12. BAC RBS Training Structure On-site Training Goals: • Deliver training within the context of programming • Ensure supervision within RBS will be seen as an integral part of training Strategies: • Offer program specific training • Train supervisors to be a critical part of reinforcing and assuring ongoing staff learning

  14. Bay Area ConsortiumRBS Pilot Program VOLUNTARY AGREEMENT

  15. To Implement RBS • Four Bay area counties, (San Francisco, San Mateo, Contra Costa and Santa Clara) are: • partnering with a collaborative of multi-service agencies (MSAs) for children and families to create a diverse and well-coordinated array of interventions, services and service settings

  16. BAC RBS is unique because: • A regional RBS resource was created by multiple counties (each with multiple placing agencies including mental health, probation and child welfare) and providers, (Edgewood, Seneca, St. Vincents, Rebekah Children’s Services, ASPIRAnet, and Aldea) because: • families and kin often move from county to county • many children are currently placed in group homes outside the county where the family lives • it is often difficult for service providers or families to get from one part of the Bay area to another because of traffic congestion and limited public transportation.

  17. BAC RBS Foundation is built upon: • Developing universal, cross-county practices for consistently and accurately assessing the level of care and matching children/youth and families with the appropriate resources • Assembling support teams early in the child/youth’s involvement in the system • Transforming the focus of current residential programs by converting the physical, philosophical and programmatic structure to a family-centered, community-connected and outcome-driven operation

  18. BAC RBS Foundation is built upon: • Establishing a process of ongoing utilization review that measures gains in the achievement of positive and sustained reconnection • Operating an integrated network of care anchored by a group of multi-service agencies that work collaboratively

  19. BAC RBS Core Services • Residential Support Services – Each MSA will offer a 6- to 12-bed highly staffed residential milieu • Intensive Treatment Services – Each MSA will offer evidence-based emotional and behavioral treatment services • Family Connection Services – Each MSA will provide family-centered care and support to reunite children and youth and their families and to help all family members acquire the skills, confidence and resiliency needed to achieve positive and sustained permanency.

  20. BAC RBS Core Services • Multi-Dimensional or Intensive Treatment Foster Care – Each MSA will work with local specialized foster care providers to assist with helping children and youth in the transition back into their homes and communities. • Kinship Care Services – Each MSA will offer services to locate, engage and support kin, involve them in the RBS service plan, and provide an extended circle of support • Community Support Services – Through their connections with extended networks of community resources, the MSAs will be able to connect children, youth and families with local/neighborhood services and supports

  21. BAC RBS Structure • RBS Advisory Committee • Interagency Placement Review Committees (IPRC) • Family Team Meetings (FTM) • Family Support Team (FST)
