5.2 Objectives and Responsibilities The intended goals of the CTTP are: • Evaluate barriers to residing in community with caregiver or in other less restrictive community residential placement in which the youth previously resided; • Facilitate a comprehensive assessment for those that require it; • Provide care with a non-judgmental, person-centered, strength-based approach that meets youth and families/caregivers where they are, helps them identify what is important to them and communicates resilience; • Provide sustained and persistent outreach and engagement attempts, even if the youth and their caregiver(s) initially decline services; • Mobilize the resources of the family/caregiver and community to support the youth’s ongoing treatment and recovery needs, connecting the youth with identified supports and linkages to community services in order to prevent future crises, or reduce the intensity and duration of crises that may arise; • Ensure that the youth’s and family’s/caregiver’s immediate needs are met (including clothing, shelter, and food), and that community linkages and supports remain solid; • Restore the youth and family/caregiver to a level of functioning and stability that supports the youth’s transition to community-based services and remaining/returning home; • Provide a short term, supportive, staffed transitional residential setting for those youth who need it.
