Residential Care in Ohio and National Efforts to Reform Financing of Residential Care
A national initiative to reform our nation’s child welfare system has led to Congressional investigations and
new sweeping legislation called the Family First Act. In this session, participants will learn about the drivers of
this national initiative and the key components of the federal legislation, including proposed restrictions and
accountability for Title IV-E funded residential placements. Analysis of state-level data of children’s residential
centers will be also provided, including trends in bed capacity and out-of-state placements.
PRESENTER
Mark Mecum, Executive Director, Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies
9:35 – 10:45amKeynote Address Salon 2,3,4 What Works in Residential Treatment
Child welfare values include serving children in the least restrictive settings with the most effective interventions.
Group homes and residential treatment centers, as restrictive living environments, have been challenged to
better define their intervention models and the youth they are best suited to serve. They have been asked to
“right size” lengths of stay and to involve family members more extensively in treatment. Further, they have
been asked to do more than manage problem behaviors, including helping youth to heal and to learn skills for
managing their emotions and behaviors that they can use in the community. Lastly, child welfare has been tasked
with conducting more extensive evaluation studies.
This keynote presentation will identify the key elements of effective practice that are based on the needs of
children and youth referred to therapeutic residential care. It will also address how certain interventions and
broader systems reforms, when implemented together, can help ensure that the right service, at the right dosage
and at the right time are provided — and for the shortest amount of time necessary — to achieve key therapeutic
and permanency planning outcomes.

Breakout Session Why Should We Care About Placement Change?
And What Can We Do About It? Salon 3
For children involved in the child welfare system, out-ofhome care placement changes can dramatically impact their
functioning, treatment success, and the chances to achieve
permanency. As a follow-up to his keynote address, Dr. Pecora
will address this critical issue from a research and clinical
perspective. He will explain the primary reasons that we should
all care about placement stability and offer strategies that
policy makers and child welfare agencies can use to prevent
unnecessary placement changes. Special emphasis will be
placed on use of evidence-based practices with children and
families and coordination of stepping children down from the
residential level of care.
PRESENTER
Dr. Peter Pecora, Managing Director of Research Services, Casey Family Programs
Intervening Before Residential: Evidence-Based
Approaches for Youth with Intensive Needs Salon 2
In this session, three community providers to address how their
organizations support children with intensive behavioral health needs
in home or community-based programs aimed at preventing out-ofhome care or escalation to the residential level of care. The Village
Network will present on their application of the Neurosequential
Model of Therapeutics (NMT) to foster care and community behavioral
health. Homes for Kids will present on their implementation of
the Multi-System Treatment (MST) evidence-based practice in
collaboration with juvenile courts. UMCH Family Services will feature
their implementation of NMT and the SITCAP trauma models in their
foster care and community programs. And finally Pressley Ridge will
present their adaption of the Ohio Intensive Home Based Treatment
(IHBT) program.

Meeting the Needs of 18-21 Year Olds With Intensive
Needs Who Age Out of Care: Residential Treatment,
Group Homes, and Institutional Care Salon 4
This session will address the service and treatment needs of
young people who age out of Ohio’s foster care system. With the
implementation of Ohio HB 50, these youth will soon have access
to a new comprehensive program to support their transition into
adulthood. A panel of community providers will recommend the best
roles that community agencies can have in helping those “aged out”
youth who have intensive behavioral or developmental disabilities
make the transition successfully. Panelists will identify what services
and extended foster car programs are needed in their communities
and what policies our state government should consider adopting.

Medicaid Initiatives Aimed at Improving Healthcare for Youth with Intensive Needs
This session will showcase several initiatives underway at the Ohio Department of Medicaid aimed at
improving health care for foster and adoptive children and youth with intensive behavioral health needs. The
new structure and components of “care management” provided by the Medicaid Managed Care Organizations
to children enrolled on their plans will be explained, including the planned enrollment of all foster and
adoptive youth onto the managed care plans on January 1, 2017. New services available for children under
the re-designed community behavioral health Medicaid program will be featured, as well as the statewide
pediatric medical home initiative.

In this session, public children service agency and juvenile court leaders will identify the types of services and
programs that are needed in their communities for multi-system youth and their families. The panel aims to
help other counties learn how to overcome challenges of finding or building community capacity to serve
their children and families. It also aims to inform private community agencies about service gaps for children
with intensive behavioral health needs in these counties.

Ohio Medicaid Re-Design and Impact on Residential Treatment and Foster Youth
Ohio’s community behavioral health Medicaid program is undergoing a major overhaul both in its design and
administration. This session will provide up-to-date information on the “Re-Design” including its impact on
children and young adults who have intensive behavioral health needs.
PRESENTER
Mark Mecum, Executive Director, Ohio Association of Child Caring Agencies
Ohio Multi-System Youth Initiative
The Public Children Services Association of Ohio is leading a statewide initiative that calls attention to the
special needs of multi-system youth. Ohio’s child protection system is often accessed as the means to provide
care for multi-system youth when other agencies, such as juvenile courts, lack the resources to meet their
high intensity, high cost, and often long-term needs. Recently, the Ohio General Assembly formed a special
committee to explore multi-system youth needs and released a list of recommended state policies. In this
special presentation, the Executive Director of PCSAO will describe the Legislature’s recommendations and share
up-to-the-minute news on implementation progress already underway.

Residential Treatment Transformation
New research and policy making are challenging our industry to re-think the concept of residential treatment
and how we serve child and youth with intensive needs and their families. In this session, Tom Woll will describe
trends in “residential transformation” in Ohio and across the country and identify the essential ingredients
leading and implementing these reforms. He will share lessons learned from overseeing a change leadership
initiative with 62 provider agencies that participate in the Residential Transformation Change Cohort with the
Alliance for Strong Families and Communities. Tom has successfully coached these – and many other – agencies
to make transformational shifts in their operating models and move toward more home- and community-based
models to serve children.

Medicaid Re-Design and Residential Care Salon 2
On July 1, 2017, the State of Ohio is scheduled to implement
the Behavioral Health Medicaid Re-Design which will directly
impact hundreds of OhioMHAS certified agencies and
hundreds of thousands of Ohioans who access community
behavioral health services through their Medicaid plan. In this
session, representatives from OhioMHAS will describe how the
Re-Design will impact children with intensive behavioral health
needs and the public and private community agencies that
serve them in residential centers or home or community-based
settings.
Measuring and Improving Child Well-Being with
the Treatment Outcome Package (TOP) Salon 4
Measuring child well-being has been an elusive goal in child
welfare. Learn about using a promising, scientifically validated
new approach that: 1) measures social and emotional well-being
to improve child outcomes; 2) matches children with providers
best capable of serving them; and 3) provides both real-time,
actionable data for day-to-day decision making and valid
measurement of changes in child well-being over time. We will
discuss TOP and how it works. Participants will discover what TOP
is telling us about children in child welfare placements, learn from
TOP implementation in Cuyahoga County and Larimer County,
Colorado, and understand how TOP can benefit private agencies.

Making Use of Ohio’s Data to Transform How We
Serve Children With Intensive Needs Salon 4
Using a variety of data elements, we will examine information
about Ohio children placed in out-of-home care, what type of
placement setting they are served in, and the key outcomes
such as length of stay, re-entry rates, and trends regarding
Ohio’s use of congregate care. We will also learn about key info
in SACWIS that caseworkers can share with provider partners.
Attendees will then engage in a facilitated discussion about
the trends, strengths, areas of concern and ideas for moving
forward.

Home CHOICE: Opportunities for Transitional
Services for Multi-System Youth Salon 2
In this session, representatives from the Ohio Department of Medicaid
and a local Family and Children First Council will explain how Ohio’s
HOME Choice program supports kids who are transitioning from institutional levels of care back to their home and community. Established
in 2008 with the goal of transitioning 2,000 Ohioans, the Medicaid
program has become a national leader in moving people back home.
HOME Choice currently ranks first nationally in transitioning individuals with mental illness into home-based settings, and second in overall
transitions completed. As of 2016, more than 8,500 people have
enjoyed a new found independence through HOME Choice, Ohio’s
iteration of the federal Money Follows the Person (MFP) program.
