KidSCope services prepare families for positive early experiences that "scaffold" healthy development, and build a foundation for later skills and learning capacities. Families may self-refer, or other agencies may contact KidSCope such as, Department of Social Services, Health Department, child care programs, Head Start and Early Head Start, School Systems, medical facilities, the court system, or a variety of other sources.. Ultimately, families/guardians make the decision to receive services. e) Who specifically will carry out the activities and in what location will they be carried out? Licensed mental health professionals will carry out the activities (evidence-based models) according to the best practices methods. Families will be served either in their homes, or at one of the KidSCope therapeutic settings in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, or Hillsborough, whichever is appropriate and convenient. f) Describe specifically the period over which the activities will be carried out, the frequency with which the activities will be carried out, and the frequency with which services will be delivered. Include an implementation timeline. The evidence-based models implemented by KidSCope staff for the population described will occur over the period determined by the model and the family needs. The models can be implemented weekly from 10-15 weeks to one year, with a "tune-up" available for families who need to review what they have learned. Services are customized to family needs and would not be easily adapted to one implementation timeline. g) Provide a bulleted list of other agencies, if any, with which your agency coordinates/collaborates to accomplish or enhance the Projected Results in the Program(s) to be funded. For each, give specific examples of the coordinated/collaborative efforts. • Children's Developmental Services Agency (CDSA) is mandated to evaluate and coordinate services for children 0-3 with developmental disabilities in the Infant- Toddler system. KidSCope works closely with Service Coordinators in Orange County to facilitate services for children in this age group. KidSCope refers children for evaluation and provides early intervention services to identified children through an annual contract. These early interventions occur with the child and parent and are focused on parent education and child development, including building positive relationships and social/emotional skills. • Orange County Department of Social Services (DSS): The KidSCope Child Care Consultant Program and the KidSCope Outreach Program receive referrals from Child Care Subsidy as well as Child Protective Services to screen and provide mental health services to children in their care who are in early childhood settings, in foster care, or living with parents. Specialized evidence based treatment modalities such as Parent Child Interactive Therapy and Child Parent Psychotherapy are used to build positive relationships in families who are struggling with children whose behavior is challenging. KidSCope works very closely with DSS workers to identify and serve children in the Child Protective Services system. Children who remain with parents, and children who are placed in foster care are served by KidSCope. Children of parents participating in job training through the Work First program are Main Application 5/25/2016 9:13:32 AM .. g of 23
