Re-imagine the 90 day transition conference. ◦ Get creative with how the meeting is conducted by more technology tools and social media Be present when meeting with youth. Create a space that is youth-centered vs. a space based on a checklist. Transition planning can happen in many different ways. It can be a preventive tool instead of a reactionary tool. Build off the strengths of the youth, especially when it is evident that the youth is struggling and has lost all motivation Ensure opportunities to discuss follow-up takes place proceeding the meeting for those assigned to different task Youth who are clearly informed of what their role is for the meeting tend to be more involved in the transition planning conference. As a CLC Peer Advocate I believe transitioning planning should be happening all the time even outside of the 90-day transition conference The Shared Core Practice Model Engaging Tracking and Adapting Planning and Intervention Long Term View Winter 2014 Strengths and Needs Based Practice Teaming Assessing and Understanding Cultural Humility Trauma Responsive LA County Model Refinement Tricia Mosher Consulting www.tmoshe Teams help families, youth and team members build a circle of support to help children & youth heal from trauma experienced, and prevent additional trauma that can occur as a result of future abuse and neglect, and as a result of agency intervention. Goal Setting Effective goals are: • Future focused: a vision of what can be. • Based on what the youth wants. • Constructed by the youth, in their voice. LA County Overview: Tricia Mosher Consulting www.tmoshe Purpose is to help youth: • anticipate what teaming will look like so that they can choose whether this is a process that they want to use. • think through the agenda and prepare to lead the meeting through introductions, statement of goal, youth’s story, and appreciation of strengths and needs. • know the ‘non-negotiables’ ahead of time • identify a team that can help them consider and make changes so that they are safe, nurtured, and connected. 1 Insure that the youth has invited their team prior to contacting team members. 2 Prepare all team members: professionals and informal supports 3 Do not share details of the case: only share the youth goal in the youth’s words 4 Insure that the invited team supports the goal and can commit to being a team member 5 Include team members by phone or letter if they cannot attend the full meeting in person.
