To Be Considered for Placement:
- Application - Please fill this out as completely as possible. The more information you give us, the better we can accurately
determine if the placement will meet the child's needs.
- Counseling records. If your child has been in counseling, we will also need those records signed over to us. If the child
is on probation, records are also required.
- Special education - if the child is receiving any special education services, an individual education plan is required.
Pre-Placement Visit
- After the Case Worker makes the screening decisions, a pre-placement visit is scheduled
- The visit begins with the Houseparent, Case Worker, Administrator, parent(s), and young person meeting together. All parental
figures MUST attend. You must schedule an exception to this rule in advance. If the court is placing the child, then the probation
officer must attend as well.
- The child welfare worker will ask questions to gather background information to help set goals if the child is admitted.
- The interview generally lasts two hours. After the interview, the child stays in the home for a few days, usually over
a weekend. The child should come prepared to stay, including work and church clothes.
- After the visit, the young person is picked up by the family. Over the next few days, the parents and staff decide if
the child will benefit from the program. After two days, if it's decided to go ahead, a placement date is set. Parents must
bring all documents listed on the right for admittance to go smoothly.
