Family Group Decision Making
Supported by experienced professionals and effective resources, we
employ the Family Group Decision Making process to encourage all
involved parties to craft a plan to meet both the child's and family's
needs. We believe this is the best way to achieve an opportunity
for permanency with the family.
Periodic Planning and Progress Reporting
Lifeline conducts a thorough assessment of children at intake
and develops a plan of service for each child that is reviewed and
revised quarterly by the entire treatment team, including the child,
foster parent(s), referring agency and treatment staff of Lifeline.
Achievement and Reporting of Permanency Outcomes
To monitor and improve the quality of services, Lifeline tracks and
reports the outcomes from the goals set in the plans of service.
What to Expect with a Lifeline Placement
Lifeline strives to do as much as possible to lighten the burden of
the placing agency. Therefore, we will be flexible and accommodating so long
as
the quality
of the
services is not compromised. Our staff will arrange meetings, provide
transportation, provide unscheduled reports and services, and attend planning
meetings, etc. over and above the basic offering of child-placing services. The
staff of Lifeline will perform duties professionally and competently,
as
scheduled, and with integrity.
We solicit feedback with regard to performance.
Please
notify the Executive
Director immediately
with complaints (or compliments).
