Collaboration: Mental Health Association Unused funds total $1,166.00. Childcare Resource (CCR) staff met with Mental Health Association (MHA) staff late spring when it was realized that the funds were not pulling down. It was identified that MHA was not moving forward with referrals for children if BOTH parents did not provide consent for therapy. This was resolved so that moving forward, ONE parent may now provide consent for treatment. GOALS/OUTCOMES REPORT (10/1/2015-9/30/2015) 1. 85% of individuals attending more than two therapy sessions will raise their functioning, as measured by the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) assessment or other screening devices (Ages & Stages, Katz Social Attributes Checklist). Only children in Childcare Resources program one full year or more will be included. Baseline: Admission GAF score, Fall Ages & Stages, Katz Checklist. As of 9/30/2015, 8 clients increased their GAF scores and 8 clients GAF scores remained the same. 7 clients did not follow through after initial MHA screening and cases were closed. 4 clients are new referrals who have completed screening and have therapy appointments scheduled. A total of 8 out of the 12 children referred have been in the program over 1 year. Fall Ages & Stages and the Katz Checklist are in the process of being administered as age appropriate. - 17 - 135
