Families Together Proposal
|
Dan Zorn provided a handout on the proposal. Previously borrowed 400,000+ from WHN. Families Together has paid back about half of that money. FTI is now suggesting that as a copy, FTI would recruit, train and support therapeutic foster homes (15 to 30 day stays)
Where will FTI get their referrals? DJJ, WHN, Private Consumers, and DSS.
The current definition is for Therapeutic Foster Care but the services will be paid for a new definition of Therapeutic Family Services. This change will come about the same time FTI plans to start these services. Families that decide to provide the foster care will be trained through an entire program (MAP, etc…).
Bob motions that CFAC support the FTI proposal and Rosemary seconds the motion and all present members (10) agreed. 828-776-0551 if you have any more questions regarding this proposal.

CFAC Orientation Feedback
|
The members that attended thought it was a good presentation and also felt like they learned some new information. Suggestions were to provide specific examples relating to some situations. This could be done verbally during the training or maybe by adding a slide of CFAC accomplishments. A footnote placed at the bottom of each slide of examples was suggested. Joe brought up the idea of changing the orientation to another method since Power Point is now thought to be not a very positive way of teaching. Bill asked Joe for other suggestions or ideas.
