CFFC
services are developed through the use of a “wraparound”
planning process, a process which involves the child
and family and results in a comprehensive set of community
services and natural supports tailored to the needs
of the child. Below are the four main components of
the CFFC planning process:
Once the child is enrolled in the
program, the CFFC staff meets with the child and family
to talk about the family’s concerns and hopes
for their child and to learn about the family’s
approach to school, work, spirituality, safety, physical
and behavioral health, and recreation. Together, they
will talk about the child’s and the family’s
strengths and needs, which will guide the care planning
process.
The staff works with the family to
create the child’s Care Planning Team (CPT), which
consists of the child, parents, friends and relatives
invited by the parents, and CFFC staff. The CPT may
also include other appropriate professionals, such as
the child’s doctor, the state agency case manager,
or school staff.
Together, the CPT develops an Individual
Care Plan (ICP), which is the primary tool for coordinating
all services and supports being delivered to the child.
The plan includes child and family strengths, prioritized
needs, a crisis plan, treatment goals, and a strategy
for meeting those goals. CFFC staff is responsible for
each service and component of the plan. Staff works
with the family to develop new ways to improve the child’s
well being in all settings, including at home, at school,
and in the community. The ICP will also define timelines,
the roles of the CFFC providers and supports, and the
best way to measure progress toward goals.
After the ICP is completed, the care
manager will have the overall responsibility for implementing
and managing the care plan. The care planning team will
meet monthly to review the child and family’s
progress and to revise the ICP as needed.
