INTERVENTION

The first counseling sessions is conducted as an intake interview. At intake it is very important for agency staff to receive two items of identification, Social security card, Georgia I.D, or birth certificate. At this informational gathering session other interventions will be scheduled by staff. The consumer assessment session is completed by a licensed therapist on our staff and is conducted within 48 hours of enrollment. In the Intake session consumer and or/legal guardian is required to sign a permission slip to received individual, group and family counseling while enrolled in the program. Each consumer will be required to obtain up to two (2) sessions each month. The staff conducts a bi- monthly management review of all consumers on its caseload. This session is identified as a bi-weekly Staffing. In this session all consumers enrolled in the agency’s outreach and residential programs will be reviewed and progress documented in files. The review session has a paper trail documented as the Case Management Plan and Review. This collective information will identify the days lodged, workshops attended, meals served, any problems or positive progress the consumer has made during a 14 day period. Since major emphasis is place on independent training techniques the three step program training levels are mention and staff document progress reports toward the three step matriculation process levels of observation, demonstration and independent living.
