Leaving the program
It is important for the team to talk about your child moving out of CCF as soon as possible during enrollment. It is our goal to help your family be independent as soon as possible. A “transition” plan must be in place by the 16th month of enrollment, if not, a review of the CCF plan will occur by the Transition committee who will help with the planning. It is very important for the team to develop a plan for leaving the program that includes who will be continuing to work with you and your child, goals and information about what to do if things aren’t going well. CCF services will end if:
1. The child is no longer at great risk of an institutional placement in a psychiatric hospital, residential treatment center or corrections.
2. The parent or guardian asks that the child be removed from the program.
3. The child is no longer eligible for Dane County services, including if court supervision ends.
4. The child or family is not benefiting from services, including an extended runaway by the child.
You are always encouraged to attend the parent groups and stay in contact after your child leaves the program. It is also possible for your child to re-enroll into the program if needed in the future. Ask your Coordinator for more information.
