Moving From Organization to Help A Key Component of RBS is the construction of new services or interventions including: Environmental Interventions: Identifying ways to use the group environment in a purposeful way to meet needs & contribute to healing Intensive Treatment Options: Creating ways for intensive treatment to be available and constructed so that children don’t have to sacrifice attachments in order to access treatment Parallel Pre-Discharge Options: Moving from a continuum model of treatment/support delivery to a free-form model, community interventions occur simultaneously to treatment options, discharge as a process not an event Follow-Up Post Discharge Service: Recognizing that success occurs as an ongoing process rather than a key milestone process

Key Innovations Recent advances & innovations in children’s treatment have focused on process rather than intervention Wraparound, Intensive Case Management, Team Decision Making, FGDM, etc. While those activities contribute to help, they don’t assure a fundamentally changed service

Imagine the Interventions In order to construct the right service system we need to imagine new interventions Form follows function – if we can imagine new approaches, we will build new systems This activity will ask you to brainstorm options for changing the nature of help and imagine at least one never before seen intervention After that RBS can be used to create a way to make it happen
