Outcome#3: 97.5% of families who successfully complete the Safe Families program will have no confirmed reports or re-reports of abuse for up to two years after completing services. Baseline: 97.1%. Result: Through the 4 1 Quarter, 100%of families who successfully completed the Safe Families progran had no report or re-reports of abuse fa-up to two years after completing service. CASTLE submitted the names of 156 families to Devereux CBC to check through the Department of Children and Families database for reports of confirmed abuse or reports of re-abuse. Of these families, zero out of 156 had a re-abuse report. (The goal is 97 5 %.) Outcome#4: 98% of families will, after successfully completing Safe Families, show improvement on at least two of the five Scales of the AAPI test. The scales are: Appropriate Expectations, High Level of Empathy, Values, Alternatives to Corporal Punishment, Appropriate Family Roles, and Values Power- Independence. Baseline: 100%. Result: Through the 4 1 Quarter, 17 of the 17 families (100%) who have completed the Safe Families program improved on at least two of the five scales of the AAP1 (The goal is 98%.) Service Capacity: Through the 4`h Quarter of the 2015-2016 contract year, Safe Families has served the following: Goal Actual % of Goal Adults 162 90 56% Children 98 211 215% Families 40 72 180% As reported previously, many families who are participating in.Safe Families are single parents or have a large number of children. This is why the number/percentage of adults appears low. A key risk to Safe Families is an increase in the number of referrals and families with multiple risk factors and issues. To address these challenges,we have reviewed and bolstered our intake and referral process to ensure that we fully address all the needs presented by a family upon enrollment in the program. Conclusion: We greatly appreciate the support of the Children's Services Advisory Committee of Indian River County. There continues to be a tremendous need for our services in Indian River County, and cannot tolerate a disruption in services. We must be able to provide the full range of services so that vulnerable families do not have to wait to receive services. If they are forced into this situation, there is an even greater prospect that children will suffer abuse,perhaps with tragic consequences. Every day that a child is safe from harm, we are changing lives for this generation and the next. Your investment in CASTLE is changing lives every day. - 21 - 139
