Treatment Teams Make a Difference |
 | Each student that arrives at Rawhide goes through a series of assessments to determine the proper treatment plan and targeted outcomes in a number of areas ranging from improvements in life skills, reading and math, to behavioral issues relating to ADD, ADHD, RAD, anger management and more.
Each youth will have a Rawhide treatment team assigned to them, consisting of a cross-departmental representation from social services, education, and youth services to ensure consistency in the treatment process and facilitate a review of growth and goal attainment of each individual youth.
A treatment team consists of the following members: |
|
|
|
- State or County Case Worker - provides input and feedback on the students progress (for court referred cases only)
- Rawhide Social Worker/Therapist (Case Manager) - recommends assessments, develops treatment plan, and keeps everyone on the team informed of any new developments at the state or county level; acts as the eyes and ears for the county to keep them up to date on the students progress. Rawhide social workers also help others focus on the treatment plan and outcome goals.
- Living Unit Staff - comprised of the Houseparents, Resident Instructors, and Professional Youth Care Workers, the living unit staff provides input on the student's ability to make connections in the living unit, build relationships with peers, complete homework assignments, perform assigned chores, and follow directions.
- Teacher Liaison - provides information on behavioral and academic performance in the classroom. This is often reflective of progress in other parts of the program.
- Job Trainers - provide input on the student's performance, attitude, and ability to follow directions while in a work environment.
- Transition Team - administers behavioral assessments, helps youth to make connections in the community, identifies what needs to be done to increase the likelihood of the student's success based on the input and recommendation of other team members.

| | Rawhide's treatment teams are very skilled at working together for the best interest of each student. Through continuous communication each student's progress is carefully monitored. Students are given clear direction to help them improve in the areas that were identified in their initial assessment and continued support to reach their targeted outcomes. |
