I. Introduction
A. Introductions of trainers/research team and staff
B. Overview of what will be covered today
C. Why the reassessment instrument was developed
1)
Importance of reassessing youth: we expect their
behavior to change, especially due to supervision
2)
To obtain an updated measure of a youth’s risk to
offend
3)
To include response to supervision, sanctions, and
treatment
4)
To support a focus on building on strengths
(protective factors)
D. When the reassessment should be used
1) When there are new referrals
2) When a youth has completed most of
case plan objectives
3) Complete a reassessment based on local
policy (every 4-6 months)
E. How will the assessment be used?
1)
To determine level of supervision
2)
To monitor and update the case/service plan
F. Description of pilot test
1)
Beta tests were conducted prior to implementing
reassessment in pilot sites
2)
Testing reassessment occurred through a pilot in
four counties (Multnomah, Yamhill, Josephine, and Jefferson)
3)
78 staff trained, 17 staff responded to User Survey,
had conducted ave. of 20 reassessments each
4)
Summary of results of User Survey
II. Presentation
A. Accessing the
reassessment: (see brief steps on Local and Technical Decision Guidelines
handout)
B. Go through reassessment instructions and help
items; point out automatic links
(refer to Local and Technical Decision Guidelines and Frequently Asked
Questions)
1) Building and basing on
2) Linking an assessment
3) Description of data links
4) Severity scores
5)
Risk levels (handout)
6)
Completion date
7)
Lock
date – data will not be used unless reassessment is locked.
C. Release date:
There may be a few minor changes to the tool (e.g., a few
questions may have changes in their response options), based on pilot test
feedback and final Steering Committee decision, but the reassessment will look
essentially the same as the version you are using today.
D. Review using the results
of the reassessment for updating case/service plan
1) Look at updated risk classification to determine if
higher or lower level of supervision is needed
2) Determine if additional, new or revised treatment or
skill building services are needed or if any services are no longer needed
3) Determine if there is a need for sanctions
III. Review Performance Objectives
IV. Application (practice)
Each staff person (or group) selects a sample assessment in JJIS, updates
the JCP assessment, and completes the reassessment addendum.
