ZERO TO THREEHOME VISITINGCOMMUNITY PLANNING TOOLZERONational Center for Infants,Toddlers, and Families( Introduction )Early childhood home visiting has been shown to be an effective service delivery model for at-riskyoung children and their families. When establishing new home visiting programs or expandingexisting services using an evidence-based home visiting model, communities should consider severalfactors in order to ensure high-quality service delivery that is true to the intent of those whodeveloped the model and that meets expressed community need.Home visiting services are most successful when key components are integrated. These include thefollowing:• A community that t,mderstands the program and supports its developmen~• Program staffthat are well-trained and supported through high-quality supervision• Strong administrative support• Ongoing evaluation of program implementation so that quality issues can be addressed in atimely manner• An environment where the need for the program is clearly understood and there is noduplication of efforts• A spirit of collaboration with other early childhood programs• Strong local leadership to nurture the development of the services<strong>Plan</strong>ning for new home visiting capacity is a long-term and ongoing process. This tool can be usedby communities to:• Identify community needs and strengths based on data.• Explore current home visiting assets and service gaps.• Choose an evidence-based program model.• Analyze components of both program- and system-level implementation that arc critical to thereplication of high-quality home visiting programs.1 Erin Harris, "Six Steps to Successfully Scale impact in the Nonprofit Sector," The Evaluation Exchange."

meet the needs of the target communities. The Updated <strong>State</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>s required to receive funds fromthe legislation must fully articulate an implementation plan for use of the expansion funds.Components of the Updated <strong>State</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>2 include:• The process for engaging at-risk communities around the proposed home visiting plan• A plan for working with the national model developer(s)• A description of initial and ongoing training and professional development activities• A plan for recruiting, hiring, and retaining appropriate staff for all positions• A plan to ensure high-quality clinical supervision and reflective practice for all home visitorsand supervisors• The estimated number of families served• A plan for identifying and recruiting participants and minimizing attrition rates• An operational plan for coordination between the proposed home visiting program(s) andother existing programs and resources in those communities• An explanation of the state's approach to monitoring, assessing, and supportingimplementation, with fidelity to the chosen model(s) and maintaining quality assurance• Assurance that individualized assessments will be conducted of participating families and thatservices will be provided in accordance with those individual assessmentsInformation contained in both the <strong>State</strong>wide Needs Assessment and Updated <strong>State</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> can beaccessed through your state lead agency.

Strengths and Gaps in Home Visiting ServicesBased on the chart of existing home visiting services on the previous page, what are the majorstrengths of current programs?l.2.3.4.5.What are the populations cunently not served by existing home visiting programs?What are areas of need that are not being met by existing programs?What geographic locations most lack services?Key Considerations When Choosing a Home Visiting ModelSeveral considerations should be taken into account at the community level whenselecting a home visiting program model to implement. Such considerations include:• The existing research that validates a particular model• The synergy between the model's intended goals/outcomes and the community'sneeds• The ability to maintain fidelity to a particular model (i.e .. community resources toimplement the model's goals, objectives, and program standards)• The pool of qualified applicants available to meet the model's staff qualifications• The availability and accessibility of early childhood, maternal and child health,mental health, and social services• The approximate cost per family per year7
Matching Community Needs to Evidence-Based ModelsAs part of the MIECHV federal funding initiative, Mathematica Policy Research conducted ananalysis of the existing home visiting research literature and determined criteria that would definethe evidence-based home visiting models eligible for federal funding. Based on this analysis, sevenmodels were determined by Mathematica to meet the criteria. Detailed information on the sevenselected models (as well as models not selected for inclusion and the criteria used) can be found atwww .acf.hhs. gov /programs/ opre/homvee.The models endorsed by Mathematica represent a cadre of programs that met specific criteriacreated for this particular funding initiative. Other home visiting models have been validated byresearch data and warrant exploration for replication. Some of these models are national, whileothers are more state-based or locally-driven. The entity that developed the model should becontacted for resources and information before replication is attempted. Some tips for connecting toa model developer include:• Engage with the staff knowledgeable about the details and nuances of programimplementation and the development of new programs to discuss these issues in light of theparticular needs of your community.• Build your program around a model's program standards and adhere to an accreditation/quality assurance process (if one exists) to ensure that you are maintaining. fidelity to themodel.• Access timely information from the model developer to the extent possible via conferences,community meetings, websites, publications, and any technical support offered.Based on service design and target population, which evidence-based model(s) most appropriatelyaddress(es) the needs ofyour community?Please answer either ofthefollowing two sections (A or B) depending on the existence of homevisiting services in your community.A.

Provide a brief description of the addition of home visitation services which will be integratedinto current operations:The Community Crossing, Inc. currently has two main programs that the home visitationservices will be intergrated into: the home repair mission program and the Healthy FamiliesHealthy Children (HFHC) Coalition. The HFHC Coalition is a partnership between TheCommunity Crossing, Inc. and West Virginia University Extension Service, which focuses onteaching communication skills, conflict resolution, and good decision making skills to high riskpopulations. The Home Repair Mission will continue to allow us access to homes,communities,and individuals that a clinical service provider could never reach.In reviewing the implementation steps for the first year, the following stategies and activities willbe achieved:Quarter 1: Development of Project Leadership Council, Tracking Systems, and project policiesand procedures. Project Staff will be recruited and office space will be set-up.Quarter 2: Families Recruitment will begin, Social Actvities will be expanded, and project will bein full implementation.Quarter 3 and Ongoing: Facilitate continued family participation in home visiting throughcreative outreach strategies that encourage attendence to group meetings.Provide your agency's referral process for clients served:Current Referral Process: The Community Crossing, Inc's current referral system for clientsserved is based on the clients self-identified needs, desires, and goals. Historic and strongpartners include: Catholic Charities WV forGED Services, McDowell County FACES forguidance in networking through the social services, Southern Coalfields Tobacco PreventionCoalition Network Office for tobacco cessation services, the local Department of Health andHuman Resources for immediate aid for food and clothes, Safe Housing and EconomicDevelopment (SHED) for housing, and the McDowel County Board of Education for adult andyouth education services.We plan to expand our agency's referral process to meet the needs of this project by redesigningour current client intake forms to identify the issues that are linked to the mostprevelant social determinates of health. Our staff will be trained on protocal for administratingthe revised intake forms and the protocal for tracking and monitoring referrals services. TheMcDowell HOPE Coalition will service as our community advisory board for our referralservices, while maintaining client confidentiality.Expanded Referral Services will include services from the following government agencies andprograms: Woman, Infants, and Children (WIC) Services, Birth to Three DevelopmentalServices, Southern Highlands Community Mental Health Services, West Virginia Tobacco QuitLine, and West Virginia Prescription Drug Abuse Quitline.Expanded Referral Services will include services from the following local non-profit agencies:Mountain Heart Community Services for childcare and financial literacy services; SAFE forassistance in domestic violence situations; and Coalfield Cap for Education Services.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 2
If there is an existing home visitation model currently within operation, describe/provide yourquality assurance in place to assure the model is operating with fidelity:While The Community Crossing does not currently have a researched based home visitationmodel currently within operation, we do have experience in the creation of a rural homevisitation model based on the promotion of healthy families and healthy environments throughour home repair mission.Our home repair mission includes the following protocol: client intake form, client intake homeinterview, project implementation, project/service review by staff and client, and evaluation byagency management.All of our projects are currently operating with fidelity by following our required local, county, andstate requirements, as well as following our certification standards.Describe your experience with implementing a new program within your agency:As the lead agency of Healthy Families Healthy Children Coalition, The Community Crossingwas able to form a coalition of local agencies to bring relationship enhancement and familyeducation to McDowell County. Norma McKinney has been the chairperson of that coalition andis well known and respected system wide. Many of our innovations are now being usedstatewide.The Community Crossing has been in the home repair business since 1991 . We revolutionizedthe set-up work that is done before a team goes into the house. Our set-up team goes in andinterviews the family, assesses the physical needs, draws up a plan for the renovation andmakes a list of materials, tools and equipment for each house we plan to work on. Over the past10 years we have worked with over 16,000 volunteers and in excessive of a thousand homes.Our agency was one of the first agencies to lead and lend support in the aftermath of the 2001flood. Ten months after the first flood, McDowell County was hit with a second major flood. Ouragency chaired the McDowell County Long Term Flood Taskforce, which managed a largecoalition of agencies including local, state and national organizations. We also worked side byside with the National Guard and FEMA - showing our ability to work with local, regional, state,and national partners. The taskforce completed its work in record time and was used as amodel statewide nine years later.Provide any additional comments you feel would be relevant to the application:WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 3
We are proud to be a part of a group of like-minded people and organizations who understandthat we live in a hurting and broken community. We have babies growing up without parents,babies needlessly dying from abuse, neglect and ignorance. Many of our parents are dealingwith multiple addictions. We have young girls giving birth while young boys continue to sharetheir DNA with other young girls. Both genders lack an understanding of what it means or what ittakes to be parents. Many of them lack positive role models.In the past, it appears that we have been very concerned and focused on providing clinicalsolutions to the needs of these children and their parents. Our hope is to be holistic in ourapproach. Medical attention is important to the health and well being of our families but so isemotional, mental and spiritual support. We can no longer afford to assume that new mothers"know" how to care for themselves or for their children. We also cannot afford to ignore thefathers of our children. This project would allow us to have a strong fatherhood intiative bycombining the efforts of our in-home visitation program with our Healthy Families HealthyChildren lntiatives.Our history and role of being a non-profit social service provider will give us great strength toimplement this project in a true community setting.

West Virginia Home Visitation ProgramAgency ApplicationNarrative (Explain the current capacity to expand the selected home visitation model, the anticipatedgeographical location, and a plan for its use. Include details for the location of the actual site(s) that staff andsupplies will be located. Included should be overall services to the community, including the agency'sadministrative support and involvement in the community. Describe why the agency is interested in providinghome visitation services.)The Healthy Families America project of the TEAM for West Virginia Children is in a goodposition to expand the number of families it serves in Cabell and Wayne counties and to extendits reach into Mason County. In September 2010, we underwent the site visit portion of thereaccreditationprocess of national Healthy Families America. In February 2011, we received wordfrom the Prevent Child Abuse America Accreditation Panel that our program had met orexceeded 90% of the 161 standards and was for the third time officially accredited. Over thepast several years the project has built a strong management team that is working well together.In the past twelve months there has been a major emphasis on building new community partnersin Cabell and Wayne to increase the number of referrals. We now have ten partners from whomwe regularly receive completed New STEPS screens. After dealing with two burned-out andunder-performing New STEPS Family Resource Specialists, we have a new competent hardworkingFamily Resource Specialist who is contacting families from the screens and assessingthem as fast as she can. The assessment process is an interview using the framework of theKempe Family Stress Checklist to guide the conversation. This assessment is the entre into thelong- term home visitation services of Healthy Families America.The TEAM has two office locations where Healthy Families America (HFA) staff is located. Themain office of the TEAM is at 625 Fourth Avenue in downtown Huntington and currently housesthe HFA Program Coordinator, the Cabell HFA Supervisor, Cabell-Wayne New STEPS FamilyResource Specialist, and three HFA Family Support Workers, along with the TEAM's ExecutiveDirector, Office Manager and Administrative Assistant and CASA Program Coordinator. TheCabell Family Resource Network Coordinator is also housed in the same space. The WayneCounty office is located at 320 Keyser Street in downtown Wayne and houses the Wayne HFASupervisor and three HFA Family Support Workers, along with the Cabell-Wayne CASAVolunteer Coordinator. Both locations can hold additional staff though increased rent will needto be paid in the Huntington office to expand into the suite next door. Office space in MasonCounty will need to be located in Pt. Pleasant to house the new team that will be working there.Since 1978, the TEAM has been working to reduce the incidence of child abuse and neglect withdirect services in the western region of West Virginia and a statewide presence as well. OurVision <strong>State</strong>ment is to promote safe, loving and healthy environments, to eliminate child abuse, andto ensure permanent families for all children. Our mission is to prevent child abuse in all its forms.In 1984, the TEAM decided to fo cus its efforts on the prevention of child abuse. The TEAM began
to present the educational workshops of the Child Assault Prevention (CAP) Project to parents,teachers and students of the elementary schools in Cabell and Wayne counties. In 1986, theTEAM became incorporated as a non-profit and was awarded its first sizable grant to hire a parttimePrevention Coordinator and expand its efforts. In 1987, the TEAM became a local affiliate ofPrevent Child Abuse America (PCAA) and the state chapter in 2003. In 1991, the TEAM pilotedthe first Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Project in Cabell County, providing trainedvolunteers to advocate for abused children in the court system to ensure a safe, permanenthome. The TEAM has also initiated public awareness campaigns about child abuse prevention,including a public awareness campaign to promote safe sleep for infants and keeping your coolto prevent Shaken Baby Syndrome. TEAM staff often provide community educationpresentations, and we developed three booklets on identifying and reporting child abuse - forschool personnel, early childhood providers, and on children with disabilities. In 2003, theTEAM became the state chapter with Prevent Child Abuse America- it was rechartered in 2009.Prevent Child Abuse West Virginia sponsors the Partners in Prevention initiative with local teamsin 40 communities around the state doing child abuse prevention projects with the help of minigrants.In 1996, the TEAM initiated the state's first Healthy Families America Project, providingintensive home visitation for new over-burdened families In Cabell County to prevent poorchildhood outcomes and promote positive parent-child interaction and healthy childdevelopment. The agency has grown from a staff of one part-time coordinator to a staff of 19. Allof the projects of the TEAM have required participation of other agencies in order to besuccessful. TEAM staff have participated in the Cabell-Wayne Family Resource Network from thetime of its inception and are active in the Cabell-Wayne Early Childhood Council since itsformation in 2000. Other local and statewide initiatives that TEAM staff are involved withinclude the Cabell Brain Under Construction Zone at Cabell-Huntington Hospital, the United Wayof the River Cities Success by 6 initiative, the state network of In-Home Family Educationprograms known as Partners in Community Outreach, and the Advisory Council for Our Babies:Safe and Sound.The TEAM got involved in providing intensive home visitation services in 1996 because it is oneof the most effective ways to prevent child abuse and other poor childhood outcomes. Theprimary focus of the TEAM and most of its programs are to prevent child abuse from everoccurring in the first place. What better way to accomplish that than to begin working withfamilies before there is even a child on the scene, to support them at the beginning of their child'slife, to help them establish positive parenting patterns and to link them to needed resources inthe community. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up to 40% of allchild maltreatment could be prevented if home visiting was widely available.

Provide a brief description of the addition of home visitation services which will be integratedinto current operations:The first emphasis will be on increasing the number of active partners in Cabell County who wi llprovide the New STEPS screen to pregnant women and women who have just delivered. In thisongoing effort we will encourage medical providers to consider New STEPS as one of their mainreferrals under the maternal risk screening process.As the number of completed screens increases, there will then be a need for more assessmentsto be conducted. Both of these activities will be accomplished by hiring additional FamilyResource Specialists.These are staff who contact families who have completed the New STEPSscreen and conduct the assessment in the family's home. We currently have one FamilyResource Specialist who covers both Cabell and Wayne counties and she cannot keep up withthe screens currently coming in . At the beginning of this grant we will hire a Family ResourceSpecialist for Wayne and a Supervisor/Family Resource Specialist who will be housed in Cabelland who will work as a Family Resource Specialist in both counties, increasing partners anddoing assessments until a new team of Family Support Workers begins to form in Month 9. Atthat time this person will supervise the two new Family Support Workers as well as continue todo assessments part-time. In full year 2, added to this team will be 3 more Family SupportWorkers (at least Month16).We will continue to target first-time parents as we feel that with limited resources those are thefamilies who will have the greatest chance of success, not yet having established patterns ofparenting . As the number of families assessed increases, so will the number of families who willvoluntarily choose to participate in the long-term home visitation services of Cabell HealthyFamilies America. Once the three Cabell Family Support Workers currently on staff have fullcaseloads, then one additional Family Support worker will be hired to serve additional families toround out the Cabell team of one Supervisor, one Family Resource Specialist and four FamilySupport Workers.The current Supervisor in Cabell County can supervise five home visitors, as per nationalHealthy Families America standards; she is currently supervising four. The next new employeefor Cabell will be a Family Support Worker.As Cabell and Wayne staff are well seasoned, they will serve as a training ground for newemployees, especially providing opportunities for new staff to shadow assessments and homevisits.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 2
Provide your agency's referral process for clients served:New STEPS (System to Educate and give Parenting Support) is Cabell County's system forproviding families who are expecting a baby with information about community resources.Instituting this process for universal screening provides families a gateway to needed servicesand offers families assistance before problems grow to the magnitude of a crisis. The goal ofNew STEPS is to help build a network of support for the challenging yet rewarding job of beinga parent. It involves the following steps:(1) Medical and social service providers are inviting expectant mothers to complete a onepageform (screen). This screen was developed to gather some basic information from familiesabout the challenges they may be facing, using non-threatening language. Informationrequested includes identifying information, education, race, marital status, employment status,number of pregnancies, due date, stress level, support systems, timing of pregnancy, mobility,relationships, adequacy of food , income, shelter, transportation, and child care.(2) Each expectant mother who completes the screen is being given a copy of "ParentingStep By Step: A Guide to Resources in Our Community". This is a directory of area servicesand other topics including car seats, child care, counseling, early childhood education,emergency assistance, employment and training , housing, literacy, medical services, recreationand leisure, support groups, transportation and hotlines. The directory will be updated andreprinted during the first 3 months.(3) The completed screens are collected by New STEPS staff and the results are "scored."If the information from the screen is scored "positive," that means the family could benefit fromsome additional support. A Family Resource Specialist contacts those families who score"positive" and who have given consent on the screen. The Family Resource Specialist asks thefamily if they would like a home visit to discuss their situation and find out about availablecommunity resources that might be useful to them.(4) If the family agrees to a home visit, the Family Resource Specialist makes anappointment for a visit and conducts an "assessment" with the family, using an open-endedquestion interview style with no paperwork or note-taking. The Family Resource Specialist usesthe Parent Survey instrument that asks for information in the following areas: childhood history,substance abuse, mental illness, criminal record, Child Protective Services involvement, selfesteem, lifelines, coping skills, stressors, violence, infant milestones, discipline, perception ofinfant, and bonding issues.(5) Upon completion of the interview, the family is given a packet of information and a"Wecome Baby! bag." The Family Resource Specialist lets the family know what availablecommunity resources might be most helpful to them. If the family gives permission, the FamilyResource Specialist makes referrals to particular programs on behalf of the family. Every familythat completes the assessment process is offered the long-term home visitation services ofHealthy Families America.(6) The information gathered through the completed screens and assessments is enteredinto a database.Throughout the course of Healthy Families America services, families are referred to communityresources that could meet their various needs. Families provide written permission for homevisitors to make referrals on their behalf.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 3
If there is an existing home visitation model currently within operation, describe/provide yourquality assurance in place to assure the model is operating with fidelity:Every 4 years the project undergoes an accreditation process, which includes completion of aself-assessment, site visit for 3 days by 2 trained reviewers from around the country when theyconduct interviews with staff, families, community partners, board members and reviewdocuments and participant files.In addition to this process each home visitor receives 2 hours of individual supervision eachweek from the Cabell supervisor. During this time they discuss the families they are workingwith, plans for upcoming home visits, and the quality of the home visitor's work. The Supervisoralso reviews participant files quarterly and home visit logs weekly. Supervisors shadow homevisits for quality review at least quarterly. Home visit completion rates are reviewed quarterly,along with developmental screening rates. Family retention rates are reviewed annually. Eachquarter, families are selected at random to provide input regarding services through telephoneor in-person conversations. Every family is asked to provide feedback through an annualwritten survey.The supervisor receives at least four hours of supervision from the Program Manager monthly.At least one supervision session is shadowed by the program manager each quarter.Documentation of supervision is reveiwed quarterly and supervision completion rates semiannually.Personnel files are reviewed annually. Supervisees provide feedback regarding thequality of supervision through an annual written survey.The Program Manager receives support and feedback from the Executive Director as needed,through regularly scheduled sessions or as needs arise.Describe your experience with implementing a new program within your agency:The most recent new program that the TEAM has implemented is the public awarenesscampaign entitled Our Babies: Safe and Sound. The purpose of this campaign is to promotesafe sleep for infants and to prevent shaken baby syndrome by keeping your cool. We hiredproject coordinators to handle the details. We formed an Advisory Council of various statepartners working with families with babies under age 1. We conducted a literature review tounderstand the topics, the statistics both in the state and in the nation, and what is currentlybeing done to educate families and caregivers on these topics. We worked with aCommunications firm to draft campaign materials and had the Advisory Council react to those.We implemented distribution of materials last May following a kickoff at Women and Children'sHospital in Charleston with the First Lady and 2006 World's Strongest Man. We conducted anevaluation of the first six months of the campaign . We recently linked with the SIDS initiativeout of OMCFH to coordinate our efforts. We are planning our second year now.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 4
Provide any additional comments you feel would be relevant to the application:At the end of 15 months, the Cabeii-Wayne Healthy Families America project (with all fundingsources included) will have a Program Coordinator, two complete teams of one Supervisor, oneFamily Resource Specialist, and four Family Support Workers (one team in Cabell and oneteam in Wayne), and the beginnings of a third team which will be housed in Cabell but will alsoserve families in Wayne. This third team at the end of 15 months will include aSupervisor/Family Resource Specialist and 2 Family Support Workers. In full year 2 we wouldanticipate hiring another 3 Family Support Workers (or perhaps 2 Family Support Workers andone Family Resource Specialist), with the Supervisor becoming a fulltime Supervisor and nolonger doing assessments.In the Healthy Families America model the assessment is the intake interview, a way to identifyfamilies facing the most challenges and making referrals to needed community resources,including the long term home visitation services of Healthy Families America. During the first 15months we anticipate that our Family Resource Specialists will conduct at least 430assessments, probably split 60/40 between Cabell and Wayne families.With the 4 new Family Support Workers hired in the first 15 months we would anticipate serving50 families. By our calculations the 2 Family Support Workers who begin working in month 3should reach full caseload of 15 families on level 1 (the most intense). The 2 Family SupportWorkers hired in month 9 should each be serving 10 to 12 families on level 1 by the end of 15months.Our budget does include some funding for current staff who will be supervising new staff underthis new funding.

Provide a brief description of the addition of home visitation services which will be integratedinto current operations:The first emphasis will be on increasing the number of active partners in Wayne County who willprovide the New STEPS screen to pregnant women and women who have just delivered. In thisongoing effort we will encourage medical providers to consider New STEPS as one of their mainreferrals under the maternal risk screening process.As the number of completed screens increases, there will then be a need for more assessmentsto be conducted. Both of these activities will be accomplished by hiring additional FamilyResource Specialists. These are staff who contact families who have completed the New STEPSscreen and conduct the assessment in the family's home. We currently have one FamilyResource Specialist who covers both Cabell and Wayne counties and she cannot keep up withthe screens currently coming in. At the beginning of this grant we will hire a Family ResourceSpecialist for Wayne and a Supervisor/Family Resource Specialist who will be housed in Cabelland who will work as a Family Resource Specialist in both counties, increasing partners anddoing assessments until a new team of Family Support Workers begins to form in month 9. Atthat time this person will supervise the two new Family Support Workers as well as continue todo assessments part-time.We will continue to target first-time parents as we feel that with limited resources those are thefamilies who will have the greatest chance of success, not yet having established patterns ofparenting . As the number of families assessed increases, so will the number of families who willvoluntarily choose to participate in the long-term home visitation services of Wayne HealthyFamilies America. Once the three Wayne Family Support Workers currently on staff have fullcaseloads, then one additional Family Support Worker will be hired to serve additional familiesto round out the Wayne team of one Supervisor, one Family Resource Specialist and fourFamily Support Workers.The current Supervisor in Wayne County can supervise five home visitors, as per nationalHealthy Families America standards; she is current supervising three. The first new employeewill be a Family Resource Specialist for Wayne and the second will be a new Family SupportWorker.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 2
Provide your agency's referral process for clients served:New STEPS (System to Educate and give Parenting Support) is Wayne County's system forproviding families who are expecting a baby with information about community resources.Instituting this process for universal screening provides families a gateway to needed servicesand offers families assistance before problems grow to the magnitude of a crisis. The goal ofNew STEPS is to help build a network of support for the challenging yet rewarding job of beinga parent. It involves the following steps:(1) Medical and social service providers are inviting expectant mothers to complete a onepageform (screen). This screen was developed to gather some basic information from familiesabout the challenges they may be facing, using non-threatening language. Informationrequested includes identifying information, education, race, marital status, employment status,number of pregnancies, due date, stress level, support systems, timing of pregnancy, mobility,relationships, adequacy of food, income, shelter, transportation, and child care.(2) Each expectant mother who completes the screen is being given a copy of "ParentingStep By Step: A Guide to Resources in Our Community". This is a directory of area servicesand other topics including car seats, child care, counseling, early childhood education,emergency assistance, employment and training, housing, literacy, medical services, recreationand leisure, support groups, transportation and hotlines. The directory will be updated andreprinted during the first 3 months.(3) The completed screens are collected by New STEPS staff and the results are "scored."If the information from the screen is scored "positive," that means the family could benefit fromsome additional support. A Family Resource Specialist contacts those families who score"positive" and who have given consent on the screen. The Family Resource Specialist asks thefamily if they would like a home visit to discuss their situation and find out about availablecommunity resources that might be useful to them.(4) If the family agrees to a home visit, the Family Resource Specialist makes anappointment for a visit and conducts an "assessment" with the family, using an open-endedquestion interview style with no paperwork or note-taking. The Family Resource Specialist usesthe Parent Survey instrument that asks for information in the following areas: childhood history,substance abuse, mental illness, criminal record, Child Protective Services involvement, selfesteem, lifelines, coping skills, stressors, violence, infant milestones, discipline, perception ofinfant, and bonding issues.(5) Upon completion of the interview, the family is given a packet of information and a"Wecome Baby! bag." The Family Resource Specialist lets the family know what availablecommunity resources might be most helpful to them. If the family gives permission, the FamilyResource Specialist makes referrals to particular programs on behalf of the family. Every familythat completes the assessment process is offered the long-term home visitation services ofHealthy Families America.(6) The information gathered through the completed screens and assessments is enteredinto a database.Throughout the course of Healthy Families America services, families are referred to communityresources that could meet their various needs. Families provide written permission for homevisitors to make referrals on their behalf.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 3
If there is an existing home visitation model currently within operation, describe/provide yourquality assurance in place to assure the model is operating with fidelity:Every 4 years the project undergoes an accreditation process, which includes completion of aself-assessment, site visit for 3 days by 2 trained reviewers from around the country when theyconduct interviews with staff, families, community partners, board members and reviewdocuments and participant files.In addition to this process each home visitor receives 2 hours of individual supervision eachweek from the Wayne supervisor. During this time they discuss the families they are workingwith, plans for upcoming home visits, and the quality of the home visitor's work. The Supervisoralso reviews participant files quarterly and home visit logs weekly. Supervisors shadow homevisits for quality review at least quarterly. Home visit completion rates are reviewed quarterly,along with developmental screening rates. Family retention rates are reviewed annually. Eachquarter, families are selected at random to provide input regarding services through telephoneor in-person conversations. Every family is asked to provide feedback through an annualwritten survey.The supervisor receives at least four hours of supervision from the Program Manager monthly.At least one supervision session is shadowed by the program manager each quarter.Documentation of supervision is reveiwed quarterly and supervision completion rates semiannually.Personnel files are reviewed annually. Supervisees provide feedback regarding thequality of supervision through an annual written survey.The Program Manager receives support and feedback from the Executive Director as needed,through regularly scheduled sessions or as needs arise.Describe your experience with implementing a new program within your agency:The most recent new program that the TEAM has implemented is the public awarenesscampaign entitled Our Babies: Safe and Sound. The purpose of this campaign is to promotesafe sleep for infants and to prevent shaken baby syndrome by keeping your cool. We hiredproject coordinators to handle the details. We formed an Advisory Council of various statepartners working with families with babies under age 1. We conducted a literature review tounderstand the topics, the statistics both in the state and in the nation, and what is currentlybeing done to educate families and caregivers on these topics . We worked with aCommunications firm to draft campaign materials and had the Advisory Council react to those.We implemented distribution of materials last May following a kickoff at Women and Children'sHospital in Charleston with the First Lady and 2006 World's Strongest Man. We conducted anevaluation of the first six months of the campaign. We recently linked with the SIDS initiativeout of OMCFH to coordinate our efforts.

Provide any additional comments you feel would be relevant to the application:At the end of 15 months, the Cabeii-Wayne Healthy Families America project (with all fundingsources included) will have a Program Coordinator, two complete teams of one Supervisor, oneFamily Resource Specialist, and four Fam ily Support Workers (one team in Cabell and oneteam in Wayne), and the beginnings of a third team which will be housed in Cabell but will alsoserve families in Wayne. This third team at the end of 15 months will include aSupervisor/Family Resource Specialist and 2 Family Support Workers. In full year 2 we wouldanticipate hiring another 3 Family Support Workers (or perhaps 2 Family Support Workers and 1Family Resource Specialist), with the Supervisor becoming a fulltime Supervisor and no longerdoing assessments.In the Healthy Families America model the assessment is the intake interview, a way to identifyfamilies facing the most challenges and making referrals to needed community resources,including the long term home visitation services of Healthy Families America. During the first 15months we anticipate that our Family Resource Specialists will conduct at least 430assessments, probably split 60/40 between Cabell and Wayne families.With the 4 new Family Support Workers hired in the first 15 months we would anticipate serving50 families. By our calculations the 2 Family Support Workers who begin working in month 3should reach full caseload of 15 families on level 1 (the most intense). The 2 Family SupportWorkers hired in month 9 should each be serving 1 0 to 12 families on level 1 by the end of the15 months.Our budget does include some funding for current staff who will be supervising new staff underthis new funding.

Provide a brief description of the addition of home visitation services which will be integratedinto current operations:The first step to expanding services to Mason County families will be to hold planning meetingswith key partners, including anticipated referral organizations. Building on the initial meetingssponsored by the Office of Maternal, Child and Family Health, TEAM staff will work with MasonCounty providers to determine the population to be served, likely sources of referral for families,and the types of services available in Mason County that would benefit families. Meetings withindividual partners will be critical to building the relationships essential to a successfulexpansion into Mason County. Those organizations identified as the main referral sources willreceive information on how to screen expectant mothers and those who have just given birth.We hope to build on the maternal risk screening process the medical providers are now using.While existing TEAM staff will begin this process, the ongoing building of partners will becomethe job of the newly-hired Mason County Supervisor. This new position along with the MasonCounty Family Resource Specialist's position will be filled within the first 6 weeks. The FamilyResource Specialist is the one who will contact families who have completed the New STEPSscreen and conduct the assessment in the family's home. Together the Mason Supervisor andFamily Resource Specialist will receive the required core Family Assessment Worker trainingalong with the new staff hired in Cabell and Wayne. They will work side by side to developpartners in Mason County and pilot their newly-acquired assessment skills in Cabell or Waynecounties.Though Healthy Families America in Cabell and Wayne counties is currently serving only firsttimefamilies because of limited funds, it will be the decision of the Mason County partners as towho the target population will be for Mason families. As the number of families assessedincreases, so will the number of families who will voluntarily choose to participate in the longtermhome visitation services of Healthy Families America. With about 300 births per year toMason County families, it is anticipated that up to 65 of these families would voluntarily chooseto participate. The first two Mason Family Support Workers will join the Mason County team inMonth 3 and participate with the other new staff in the core Family Support Worker training. It isanticipated that it will take until at least Month 9 to bring these two home visitors to full caseload.In Month 9 two more Family Support Workers will be hired to serve additional families and roundout the Mason team of one Supervisor, one Family Resource Specialist and four Family SupportWorkers.The Supervisor in Mason County can supervise five home visitors, as per national HealthyFamilies America standards.WV<strong>DHHR</strong>/BPH/OMCFHIWV Home Visitation Program 4-1-11 Page 2

I was introduced to the CabellWayne Healthy Families America/New Steps Programs by your co-worker, DeniseChilders. I regularly refer my students that are pregnant.I believe that this program is vital to new mothers in our area because many donot have dependable support systems. As a school counselor, I often encounter teenmothers that are scared, immature, and lacking in life experience. While I can offersupport and guidance at school, home visits benefit the students in a broader sense. Thesevisits provide young mothers with support and training that will help them properly carefor themselves and their babies. In addition, the program teaches new mothers how tomake goals and set out a plan to reach those goals. The home visit staff is kind,supportive, and non-judgmental.I hope that the program continues to be available in our area, so that I haveresources to offer young mothers in the coming years. I am in support of your agencyreceiving federal funds for the WV Home Visiting Program. Feel free to contact me, ifyou have any questions.HOME OF THE REBELS !

The Wayne FRN has had a very long standing partnership with the TEAM and over the yearswe have partnered on several grant projects that serve the families and children of Cabell and Wayne Counties,including the Cabell-Wayne Early Childhood Counci~ Child Advocacy Center, WRAP (Winterizing Rural AreaProjects) and Cabell-Wayne Healthy Families America.Cabell and Wayne Counties have had a very long history partnering on several community serviceprojects that have been very successful and have been replicated all over the state. Cabell-Wayne HealthyFamilies America is known as a trusted way for parents to receive resource information and early childhooddevelopment tools that are critical to the development of a child's life. In rural areas such as Wayne County it isvery hard for families to learn about new information in child development - Healthy Families makes thisprocess very easy for the families by bring the information and resources to them and teaching them how tobetter meet the needs of their child, which will allow these children to have the tools needed to grow up safe andhealthy.Therefore, please consider this as the Wayne Family Resource Network's letter of support for TEAM forWV Children's application for "WV Home Visitation Program" funding.Sincerely,~

In the mid 1990sthe Outreach Health and Home Visiting Committee, of what was the Cabell-Wayne FRN at that time, worked tofind a model to assist families in the areas of parent education and help to bridge the gaps between the variousearly education programs. The work of that committee and the relationship with the TEAM and members of theFRN helped to identity the Healthy Families America program as a research based model that helps to preventionchild abuse and neglect while offering parenting support and building family strengths.Cabell-Wayne Healthy Families America has been an ongoing partner on the Cabell-Wayne Early ChildhoodCouncil, which continued to work on early education quality. Several collaborative grants over the years,beginning with Educare and then on to the federal ERASE I and II, has continued to lay the foundation for earlychildhood education programs in Cabell and Wayne Counties.The In Home Family Education expansion will be able to continue to build upon the long history of collaborationin our c01mnunity. With the continued work to reach out and expand HFA services, families will be able to getthe parenting support needed to build the protective factors of: parent resiliency, understand child development,build their support network, get resources in times of needs and improve the social and emotional development ofthe child.

The families who participate in the Healthy FamiliesAmerica, Team for West Virginia Children and New Steps programs receive support from individualworkers, which in return, helps the family provide a safe, stable, and healthy environment for theirchildren. Home visiting is an excellent way for Healthy Families America to be able to see exactly whatservices a family needs. In addition, home visits provided by Healthy Families America can help preventchild abuse and neglect before it happens, through education and support with the families they serve.The Valley Health WIC Program has teamed with Cabell and Wayne Counties Healthy Families Americaprogram for several years. We provide WIC participants the opportunity to fill out a Step by Stepsurvey/referral form and provide them with a Step by Step Resource Book with a listing of availableresources in Cabell & Wayne Counties. The surveys are used as a means for referrals to the New StepsProgram and provide the New Step program with valuable information before they contact the family.The referrals are picked up by a New Steps worker on a weekly basis. In addition, A New Steps workersets up an intake booth monthly at both the Cabell & Wayne WIC offices to sign participants up for theNew Steps Program. This program helps first time parents to become aware of the services that areavailable to them and provide them with support during pregnancy and parenting their first child. ValleyHealth WIC is committed to continually referring participants to the New Steps ProgramValley Health WIC Program hopes that you will strongly consider this grant application. The supportservices provided by the Cabell and Wayne Counties Healthy Families America, Team for West VirginiaChildren and the New Steps program, fill an important gap in preventing child abuse and neglect.Sincerely,Jenna Rose, MA, RD, LD, Outreach Coordinator for Valley Health Cabell, Wayne, & Lincoln CountiesTHIS INSTITUTION IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER.WEST VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES

Box 1653Huntington, WV 25717Dear Ms. Bragg,I am pleased to support TEAM for WV Children funding request to increase homevisiting services thru the Healthy Families America program in Cabell, Wayne andMason counties.TEAM for WV Children have been collaborating with United Way of the River CitiesSuccess By 6® program for several years with great success. They were veryinstrumental in starting, implementing and growing the Brain Under ConstructionZone (BUCZ). This program is an educational early childhood developmentproject, reaching hundreds of children and families on a daily basis educating aboutearly brain development as well as advocating about how to raise a healthy child. Ourrelationship with Cabell-Wayne Healthy Families is extremely valuable to the SuccessBy 6®coalition.Recent studies proves that states should invest in quality, evidence-based homevisiting programs, which offer moms (and dads) access to information about theirchild's health and developmental and safety needs, as well as resources to go back toschool and find stable jobs. Fostering positive parenting skills and familyresponsibility and health today sows the seeds for safer, healthier children who arebetter prepared to learn tomorrow. Childhood success begins with parenting at its best.Home visiting is an early childhood intervention that can enhance parenting andpromote the growth and development of young children. In high-quality programs,home visiting increases the odds that children from at-risk families will enterkindergarten ready to learn.Children from low-income families are more likely to start school with limitedlanguage skills, health problems, and social and emotional problems that interferewith learning. The larger the gap at school entry, the harder it is to close. If we wantall children to read proficiently by fourth grade-and to grow into healthy teens andproductive adults- then we must make wise investments in the early years.Success By 6® is looking forward to continued partnership with Healthy FamiliesAmerica. We are especially excited about the proposed expansion of home visitingservices as the program promises to fill a huge need in the community.Respectfully,~~ V\~Lena BurdetteCommunity Initiatives CoordinatorSuccess by 6®United Way of the River Cities, Inc.820 Madison A venueHuntington, WV 25704tel 304.523.8929 x 7fax 304.523.9811www.unitedwayrivercities.org

Budget amount requested for this site:Provide a brief description of the addition of home visitation services which will be integratedinto current operations:Cornerstone Family Interventions, ·Inc. (CFI) hopes to integrate the Parents as Teachers (PAT)home visitation program into its existing servies. There have been numerous occasions duringwhich families have been turned away from in home services because there was no fundingmechanism or program to service them. CFI has hoped to see an evidenced based homevisitation program such as PAT be initiated in Boone County to serve these families. CFI hashoped to be able to focus more on prevention with the belief that this will help reduce thealarming rate of child abuse in Boone County and provide families with support and instruction.This program will be a wonderful compliment to existing CFI services._$.:...:2=:-0:....:0'-'-, o=:-o=:-o:.___...,.-------:--:----:-----:-:.,.-,------,--------,--Currently, CFI offers a vast array of in home services socially necessary services for the WestVirginia Department of Health and Human Resources (WV<strong>DHHR</strong>) Bureau for Children andFamilies Administrative Services Organizations (ASO). Those services are listed above. CFIalso has a Child Advocacy Center (CAC) Project. A Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is a childfriendlyplace where a multi-disciplinary team of community professionals join hands to care forabused children. A CAC can decrease the overall impact of abuse by reducing furthervictimization to abused children: by increasing the number of successful prosecutions ofperpetrators; by encouraging parents and caregivers to stop abusive and neglectful behaviors;by reducing the long-term costs to society; and by decreasing the number of child abuse victimsthrough awareness and prevention education.Additionally, CFI offers psychological evaluations and therapy. If a family requires such servicesthey may be able to receive services from the same trusted agency who provides their visitationservices. If not, experienced staff have the knowledge and ability to refer them to someone whocan.Provide your agency's referral process for clients served:
Currently, referrals to CFI may be received by telephone, in person, fax, or email. CFI also plansto develop a webpage on which referrals may be made. Different intake forms are rquired fordifferent programs. The program determines who may initiate a referral to CFI. Referrals forsocially necessary services must be made by a WV<strong>DHHR</strong> worker in order to receiveauthorization for services and payment from the state. Other referrals, such as psychologicaland therapeutic services, may be made by anyone as long as someone is available who canlegally authorize the services. These services are often made by WV<strong>DHHR</strong> workers, attorneys,judges, parents, other CAC's, teachers, mental health, and self referrals. Release ofinformation forms are signed at intake so that staff may speak to referring agencies orindividuals if needed.Most programs require an assessment. CFI staff evaluate the family's needs and make referralsto outside agencies as needed by the family. Release of information are secured so that CFImay provide advocacy, linkage, and case management services to help the client secureoutside services such as Birth to Three, housing assistance, educational assitance, mentalhealth, medical, etc.In the event that CFI is awarded a grant to implement PAT in Boone County, staff will follow thePAT recommended policy and logic model for making referrals for PAT participants.If there is an existing home visitation model currently within operation, describe/provide yourquality assurance in place to assure the model is operating with fidelity:N/ADescribe your experience with implementing a new program within your agency:Please see the attachment entitled, About Us, which details how the agency was founded andthe new programs initiated. Below details how the agency recently implemented a ChildAdvocacy Center program.The Cornerstone Family Interventions Boone County Child Advocacy Center ProjectThe dream of bringing a CAC to Boone County was originally conceived by Lynn Lorentz,veteran social worker for Boone and Kanawha Counties. Mrs. Lorentz was serving as theCommunity Service Manager at the Boone County <strong>DHHR</strong> when she heard Victor Veith, Directorof the National Child Protection Center; speak at the Juvenile Justice Conference in Charleston,WV. Mrs. Lorentz began to ignite the flames of desire in various professionals in Boone County
to help bring a CAC to Boone County. She traveled to Mercer County, WV to meet with MaryEllen Griffith (then a Guardian Ad Litem who was influential in the CAC movement in WestVirginia), to discuss her aspirations. Lynn attended some WV Child Advocacy Center Networkmeetings and directed her Child Protective Services (CPS) supervisor, Monica Ballard, to assisther with attending the meetings and gathering community support. Initial meetings consisted of30 to 40 community leaders who were committed to the project. The project was funded byBenedum for the start up. However, after Mrs. Lorentz and Ms. Ballard left their jobs at <strong>DHHR</strong>,they learned that the center had lost funding and there had been no one to "carry the torch."However, the community had not forgotten the hope of having a functioning CAC. As many localattorneys and former clients (and their friends and relatives) were aware of the instrumental roleMs. Ballard played in the formation of the CAC and in her role as a forensic interviewer, CFIbegan to receive increasing numbers of inquiries from clients who had been abused or hadfriends or relatives who had been victimi.zed. Their needs often included a need for advocacy,extended forensic interviews, linkage, referrals, trauma focused therapy, and other forms ofsupport. Often, the families had been the subject of CPS intervention but their cases had beenclosed. Despite the closures of cases by CPS and law enforcement, the families often still hadunmet needs related to child abuse, trauma, and poor home environments for children.CFI staff began to fill some of these roles and responded to this unmet need in the community.They organized a steering committee of individuals who shared a concern for this service barrierand empathy for the victims and their families.With the help of Mrs. Lorentz, Monica Ballard, and the CFI Board, a steering committee met onJanuary 13, 2009 to begin developing the new center. It was then that CFI established a ChildAdvocacy Center (CAC) Project. CFI was awarded a Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) to fundCFI programs related to substance abuse and to the CAC project.In September of 2009, Ms. Ballard's position as director was funded to direct the new programand to provide direct services including forensic interviews, extended forensic interviews, childabuse evaluations, and trauma focused therapy. Community collaboration was also animportant aspect of the position. CFI was also able to hire a new full time employee, TonyaVannatter, to provide coordinated services for the CAC including: forensic interviews, advocacy,linkage, community awareness and assisting with collaboration with other agencies as well asother CAC related tasks. Tonya brought with her a wealth of experience from her formeremployers including her work with the homeless, individuals who are HIV positive or had beendiagnosed with AIDS, and with individuals who were developmental disabilities or mentalretardation. Ms. Vannatter also possesses extensive knowledge in addiction and has facilitatedsubstance groups for both adolescents and adults.The Boone County CAC lost funding when the JAG stimulus grant ended in the summer of2010, but the project has survived. The team was able to secure an AmeriCorps Vista grant tobuild the capacity of the Boone County CAC Project. Tonya Vannatter accepted the AmeriCorpsVista position where she is placed at the CAC. While, Monica Ballard continued to direct thecenter pro-bono and to provide direct services on a fee for service basis {when appropriate) andpro-bono for those who did not have funding.The CAC Advisory Team has grown both quantitatively and qualitatively. In addition to theactive team members, 10 new volunteers contributed to the Boone CAC Spa Day that was heldearlier this month. They contributed in the weeks p.rior to the event and during the event. Thesevolunteers were from diverse backgrounds including students, beauticians, independent sales
workers, stay at home mothers, and massage therapists.The Boone County CAC project is under the umbrella of Cornerstone Family Interventions, Inc.It is a 501 (c) (3) non -profit. Cornerstone Family Interventions, Inc. (CFI) was formed in 2005in response to the lack of resources that were available to children and families in southernWest Virginia, particularly in Boone County, that put them at risk for harm. The mission of CFI isto promote safety, permanency, and wellbeing for children, families, and individuals in WestVirginia. The CAC shares this mission in addition to the shared visions that all CAC's espouse.Ms. Ballard serves as the director of Cornerstone Family Interventions and the Boone CountyCAC. She is a supervised psychologist and a licensed social worker. She is also a certifiedmediator on the West Virginia Supreme Court's List of Approved Divorce and CustodyMectiators. She proviQes psychological services to the center including forensic interviewing,trauma focused therapy, and extended forensic interviewing. Psychological services areprovided under the supervision of Dr. Tim Saar of Saar Psychological Group. Ms. Ballard servesas an advisory member (non -voting) to the CFI board. Previously, she served on the CACsteering committee (now advisory team). She also attends Multi-Disciplinary Investigative Team(MOlT) meetings. She completes grant applications for the organization. She prepares policiesand updates for the organization, CAC project, etc.Under the JAG grant. Tonya Vannatter served as the direct staff member for the CAC projectand this is her primary function. She was instrumental in the further development of the centerthrough her dedication to steering committee meetings. She is a forensic interviewer and sheassists with linkage, advocacy, follow up, and MOlT attendance. Tonya assisted the project bydeveloping brochures and newsletters and sending reminders to MOlT members. Tonya alsoassisted the director with the development of MOlT protocol updates and CAC policy updatesand development. Additionally, Tonya assisted with linkage to victim advocates and shesometimes provided advocacy for families. Tonya's experience and hard work helped the CACproject to grow in referrals and in the quality of services given to referrals. Tonya receivedtraining on grant writing and has worked to generate funds for the center.Now, in her role as a Vista, Tonya is working to develop the center's capacty. Focus has beenon generating local support and funding, fundraising, and volunteer recruitment for the CAC.T onya organized the center's first fund raiser, The Boone County Child Advocacy Center SpaDay, which took place on March 5. There were more than 30 participants and numerousvolunteers. Tonya also provides forensic interviews at the center on a fee for service basis. Iffunding is secured, Tonya wiU retum to her role as forensic interviewer.The Boone County CAC was recently chosen to receive a Program Improvement andExpansion Grant from the National Children's Alliance which will help the center to take stepstoward meeting long term goals required to function as a CAC. Matching funds were requestedfor two additional Vista workers to help improve the center's capactiy to serve.The Boone County CAC was accepted as a member of the West Virginia Child AdvocacyCenter Network in April 2011 .Provide any additional comments you feel would be relevant to the application:

Sadly; however, turnover in the Child Protective Services unit, lawenforcement, and the prosecutor's office left the team vulnerable as key players were not awareof the legal mandates for MOlT's and/or did not find them to be a priority. When the CFI Inc.CAC steering committee was formed, staff found found that the MOlT was no longer meeting atall and those who were responsible for such meetings claimed not to be aware of the legalmandates surrounding MOlT's. Boone County children were placed at risk and few child abusecases were prosecuted.The Boone County Multidisciplinary Investigative Team (MOlT) has undergone many changesover the last two years largly as a result of CFI intervention. The CAC steering committee urgedthe team to begin meeting again and the CAC staff began the tedious process of educating theteam. There was a Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding signed by agency heads, but ithad been in effect for many years and many members were no longer attending. At the urgenceof CFI, the team began meeting and drafted a new MOU. Finally, a law enforcement officeragreed to serve on the team after being without one for over a year. This was a critical missingcomponent required by the law. CFI remains committed to this team and takes the lead indrafing the team's agenda, minutes, and meeting reminders because they believe the team'sfunctiong is critical for Boone County children and families.CFI's agency director is a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) andthe West Virginia Chapter of NASW.

A. CapacityCornerstone Family Interventions, Inc. would like to implement a home visitation pogramin Boone County, West Virginia. Please see the attachment "About Us" for a narrative ofthe organization's history. This history demonstrates that Cornerstone FamilyInterventions, Inc. is competent to expand and implement a home visitation program.The project would housed in the Cornerstone Family Interventions, Inc. office in the hubof Boone County, Madison, West Virginia. It is located at 331 <strong>State</strong> Street, Room 403,Madison, WV. This is a spacious office with two restrooms (an employee and a visitorrestroom), a small kitchen area, and a large waiting area.

The office has a spacious waiting room with space available tobe converted into additional offices and/or cubicles if needed to house additional staffand where they may keep their supplies. There are currently two private offices in theoffice for the director and the Vista. It is hoped that if CFI receives the grant to begin aParents As Teachers program, that they will be permitted to hire two parent educators.These individuals would be given the opportunity to work from home and use the officeas needed or to have a cubicle or office space in the CFI office in Madison. Anadministrative assistant would also be hired.

XI. CORE KNOWLEDGE/CORE COMPETENCIESResearch demonstrates the vital importance of professional education of individuals providing early careand education experiences. Regardless of setting, specific early experiences are documented to supportchildren's optimal development in all domains. What we do or do not do for young children makes adifference in their learning capabilities and their future success in life. Ensuring that individuals whoprovide these experiences have the knowledge and the skills to provide quality early care and educationenvironments is essential. West Virginia Core Knowledge and Core Competencies provide theframework to build a comprehensive system to support these professional development experiences.Core Knowledge identifies what individuals providing early care and education experiences need toknow in order to facilitate child learning and development. Core Knowledge Content Areas provide anoverview of essential knowledge that all early care and education professionals should know andunderstand. The eight (8) core knowledge content areas are as follows:I. Child Growth and DevelopmentII. Health, Safety, and NutritionIll. Positive Interactions and RelationshipsIV. CurriculumV. Child Observation and AssessmentVI. Family and CommunityVII. Program ManagementVIII. ProfessionalismCore Competencies identify the observable skills that individuals providing early care and educationexperiences need to facilitate child learning and development. The Core Competency Areas follow thecorresponding Core Knowledge Content Areas and identify observable skills or attributes of acquiredknowledge. Each Core Competency Area has three (3) to eight (8) defined categories. The CoreCompetency Areas are organized into three (3) tiers that establish a continuum of learning from entrylevel skills to an advanced level of academic preparation and varied experience. Each tier encompassesthe knowledge base and competencies of the previous level. Individuals progress from one (1) tier to .another through a combination of formal study and experience. Tier 1 competencies are intentionallywritten in clear, specific language to support beginning levels.For more information and specific descriptions about Core Knowledge/Core Competencies, see WV CoreKnowledge/Core Competencies Booklet.WV STARS Credentialed Trainer Manual Page 28
