FFT – the service standards state the staff qualifications to be a Masters Degree, however, FFT does not require this. Therefore, we have members of an FFT certified team with a Bachelors degree and they are certified to perform the FFT program. Can this be reconsidered with respect to staff qualifications to match FFT requirements? |
We will consider this with the stipulations that were in the last RFP. |

Sex Offender Treatment: Page 105, Item #1: Please clarify the meaning of “community strengths” and “community risk and protective factors.” Does this mean the “community” as it relates to the specific youth who has been referred (neighborhood, school, etc.) or to the community at large? Page 106, Section III, Goal #1, Item #3: Indicates the treatment plan must be completed and forwarded to worker within 15 calendar days of the first face-to-face contact with the client. Does this mean 15 days after the first interview for the assessment? This standard contains very tight time constraints, which are understandable. How does one account for the family’s failure to comply (no showing appointments) during the assessment phase? Page 107, Section III, Goal #5: Please clarify “no behavioral issues” – does this relate only to issues that are included in the safety/relapse prevention plans or to behaviors that are status offenses or delinquent acts? Page 107, Section IV: Is being a clinical member of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA) qualify as an equivalent recognized credentialed authority? |
As it relates to the youth. After the first face to face contact. Failure to comply will become part of the assessment. Contact with the referring DCS should take place if assessment is unable to be completed due to failure to comply. Discussions of next steps should take place with FCM. IF you look at the outcome measure it is talking about delinquency charges and/or probation violations. If you wish to send in information on ATSA we will evaluate.
