TRANSITION FROM RESTRICTIVE PLACEMENT

(TRP)

H.O.P.E. Counseling & Associates partners with the finest clinicians in the region to provide clinical and case management services for juveniles returning to the community from residential facilities and the Indiana Department of Corrections. Within the TRP program, juveniles work with both a therapist and a case manager to overcome mental-health disorders, develop pro-social life skills, reintegrate into their communities, improve educational outcomes, avoid illegal substances, and increase family connectedness & cohesion.

TUTORING

Supervised by a Psychologist/HSPP trained in issues of School Psychology, our tutors possess competencies serving youth struggling to overcome long-term educational/learning challenges. Tutors are considered clinical staff and are expected to develop additional competencies in Cultural Competency, Sexual Trauma, and issues related to Systemic Poverty.

HOME BASED THERAPY 

Provision of structured, goal-oriented, time-limited therapy in the natural environment of families who need assistance recovering from physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglect. Other issues, including substance abuse relapse prevention, mental illness, personality/behavior disorder, developmental disability, dysfunctional family of origin, and current family dysfunction, may be addressed in the course of treating the abuse/neglect.

HOME BASED CASEWORK 

Provision of home based casework services for families involved with DCS/Probation. Home based casework is also available for pre-adoption and post-adoption services for adoptive families at risk or in crisis. These in-home services should be high quality, family centered, and culturally competent. They should be effective in reducing maltreatment, improving caretaking and coping skills, enhancing family resilience, supporting healthy and nurturing relationships, and children’s physical, mental, emotional and educational well-being. Home-Based Casework Services should help to safely maintain children in their homes (or foster home); prevent children's initial placement or reentry into foster care; preserve, support, and stabilize families; and promote the well-being of children, youth, and families.

SUPERVISED VISITATION FACILITATION 

Visit facilitation as identified by DCS/Probation will be provided between parents/children/siblings and/or others who have been separated due to a substantiated allegation of abuse or neglect or involvement with juvenile probation. Visitation allows the child an opportunity to reconnect and reestablish the parent/child/family relationship in a safe environment. It is an excellent time for parents to learn and practice new concepts of parenting and to assess their own ability to parent through interaction with the child. Supervised visitation allows the DCS/Probation to assess the relationship between the child and parent and to assist the parent in strengthening their parenting skills and developing new skills. The role of the visitation provider is to protect the integrity of the visit and provide a positive atmosphere where parents and children may interact in a safe, structured environment. Visitation may be held in a visitation facility; neutral sites such as parks, fast food restaurant with playground, or shopping malls; child’s own home or relative’s home; foster home; or other location as deemed appropriate by the referring agency and other parties involved in the child’s case taking into consideration the child’s physical safety and emotional wellbeing. 
The level and frequency of supervision required for visitation and how the supervision is handled will depend upon the purposes for which it is required. Supervision of visits should be consistent with identified case issues and supportive of case goals.

COUNSELING

HOPE Counseling & Associates partners with many of the finest clinicians in the region to provide clinic-based services for children, adults, and families across Central Indiana. Our masters and doctorate level professionals specialize in a broad variety of complex mental-health issues including: depression, anxiety, AD/HD, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, trauma, addictions & alcoholism, grief & loss, and family functioning. Clinical staff have significant experience serving juvenile probation and Department of Child Services populations.

FATHER ENGAGEMENT SERVICES

Under this dynamic service standard, fathers work alongside their provider to help strengthen the parent-child bond and engagement of the father in all aspects of their child's life. Each father receives an in-depth assessment to determine areas of strength and growth to help support the development of an individualized treatment plan and interventions. Fathers are enrolled in individual and group services to ensure each father is fully supported and they have a variety of opportunities for education and skill development. Fathers also receive case management (including supervised visitation) services to help support and empower them as fathers. These services include evidence-based psycho-education curriculums focused on assisting fathers in learning new skills and strengthening existing skills to positively impact their relationship with their child(ren). Our Father Engagement Service Providers receive additional trainings in Cultural Competency, Sexual Trauma, Motivational Interviewing, Child Development, and issues related to Systemic Poverty. Our Father Engagement Service Providers conduct supervised visitation in the client's home, community locations, and our South Side office. 

FAMILY PRESERVATION SERVICES

Family Preservation Services include an in-depth and ongoing assessment of the child/parent/family resulting in appropriate and completely individualized services/treatment plan goals. Referrals are matched to providers based on family needs. All clients are contacted the day the referral is received, and all services begin within 24 hours of the referral assignment. H.O.P.E. strives to ensure that all Family Preservation services focus on preventing the trauma of removal, each child is in a safe environment, and the environment remains a safe place for the child and the identified caregiver(s). Family Preservation Services are home-based and providers will monitor and address any safety concerns for the child. All treatment interventions are strength-based and family-driven with the family actively participating in identifying the focus of services. Family Preservation Services are all-inclusive. H.O.P.E. provides all parenting, casework, therapy, concrete support, and other necessary services to ensure the family can remain together and in their home safely. All interventions are Evidenced Based and multiple modalities are used to address all presenting problems so that effective and permanent resolutions can be achieved.
