ITEM #32
WITHDRAWN
Transmitting a Communication from
TIMOTHY C. EVANS, Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County
requesting authorization for the Purchasing Agent to enter
into a contract with The Salvation Army, Oak Brook, Illinois, for a pilot
therapy program to be administered through the Circuit Court of Cook
County’s Juvenile Probation and Court
Services Department.
|
Reason: |
The Salvation Army will provide community-based
therapeutic services for up to sixty (60) delinquent minors who have been
diagnosed with mental health disorders and identified by the court to be in
need of clinical intervention. Known
as Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST), these services focus on the family unit
instead of the individual minor.
Through combined use of well-known therapeutic techniques such as
cognitive behavior therapy, MST addresses the complex issues faced by
multi-need families. Other essential
components of MST include evaluation, adherence to defined protocols and
follow-up. |
|
|
As an alternative to costly residential treatment
facilities, MST services enable eligible minors to remain in their homes
during treatment, without compromising public safety and at a substantial
savings to taxpayers. As of December
31, 2001, 262 delinquent minors were placed in residential treatment
facilities at an average cost of over $200.00 per minor per day. Under the MST pilot program, the Salvation
Army will provide services to eligible minors for approximately $50.00 per
minor per day, from its office at 133 South Ashland Avenue in Chicago. |
|
|
The Salvation Army has been selected to provide services
due to its demonstrated commitment to providing quality social services to
Chicago’s youth. The Salvation Army
has extensive experience in providing assessments, counseling services, treatment
planning and case management. Also,
its representatives have committed to operate the pilot program in
conformance with protocols developed by the Medical University of South
Carolina, the original developer of the MST model. |
