PURPOSE: The purpose of this rule is to outline the service coordinator’s involvement with facility staff, the youth, his/her family and the community to facilitate appropriate treatment and aftercare planning while the youth is in a residential treatment program.

1. (1) Involvement with Youth and Facility. Facility visits by the service coordinator shall occur at a minimum of once per month. The 13 CSR 110-3

facility visits will allow for joint planning transition involving the service coordinator, the youth and the facility personnel.

1. (2) Community Preparation. This involves creating a climate which will allow for the youth to be reintegrated into the community by providing for educational, vocational, employment and health needs. Community preparation would also involve anticipating adverse reactions from the community and helping the community and the youth to deal with those problems.
