TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING CARE, NURTURE AND TREATMENT FOR HURTING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
THE MISSION OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOME (UMCH) IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING CARE, NURTURE, AND TREATMENT FOR HURTING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THE VISION OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHILDREN'S HOME IS TO BE THE PREMIERE FAITH-BASED FAMILY SERVICES AND CHILDREN'S TREATMENT MINISTRY IN OHIO.
THE UMCH FAMILY SERVICES FOSTER TEAM SPECIALIZES IN TREATMENT FOSTER CARE. WHEN USED TO DESCRIBE FOSTER CARE, THE WORD "TREATMENT" REFERS TO AN ADVANCED LEVEL OF THERAPEUTIC ASSISTANCE FOR THE CHILD IN CARE. OUR TREATMENT FOSTER FAMILIES OFFER SAFE, NURTURING HOME ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN TO PRACTICE NEW OR REDISCOVERED SKILLS WHEN THEY ARE NOT READY OR ABLE TO LIVE WITH THEIR FAMILIES OF ORIGIN.TREATMENT FOSTER FAMILIES RECEIVE ONGOING TRAINING FROM UMCH BEYOND THAT REQUIRED FOR TRADITIONAL FOSTER CARE. TREATMENT FAMILIES BECOME A SKILLED, INTEGRAL PART OF THE UMCH MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM, WORKING CLOSELY WITH AND RECEIVE 24/7 SUPPORT FROM CASE MANAGERS, SUPERVISORS, THERAPISTS AND OTHERS BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE CHILD.WE ARE UNIQUE IN THAT OUR AGENCY PROVIDES ALL TREATMENT TEAM SERVICES WITHIN THE AGENCY ITSELF FROM PSYCHIATRIST, PSYCHOLOGIST AND NURSE TO TREATMENT COORDINATOR AND SUPERVISOR. OUR TREATMENT FOSTER CARE PROGRAM IS GOAL-ORIENTED, TIME-LIMITED AND FAMILY-CENTERED.WE RECOMMEND HOMES FOR LICENSURE, REGULARLY INTERACT WITH OUR FOSTER FAMILIES AND OPERATE WITH A LOW FOSTER HOME TO CASE MANAGER RATIO, WHICH ALLOWS FOR INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION.WE ALSO PROVIDE TRADITIONAL FOSTER CARE FOR CHILDREN WHO DO NOT REQUIRE A TREATMENT-FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT. 140 CLIENTS SERVED IN 2019.
UMCH FAMILY SERVICES FOCUSES ON STRENGTHENING THE CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH COUNSELING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES. OUR MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT TEAM IS COMPRISED OF MASTERS-LEVEL CLINICIANS, LICENSED COMMUNITY PSYCHIATRIC SUPPORT PROVIDERS, REGISTERED NURSES, AND MEDICATION PRESCRIBERS, INCLUDING CLINICAL NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND PSYCHIATRISTS. OUR OUTPATIENT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TEAM USES THE NEWEST EVIDENCE-BASED AND EVIDENCE-INFORMED PRACTICES. WE WORK HAND IN HAND WITH PARENTS AND GUARDIANS, AS WELL AS PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS AND PEDIATRICIANS TO BRING A DYNAMIC, COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO OUR PROCESS. TREATMENT IS INDIVIDUALIZED AND UNIQUE FOR EVERY CHILD. PSYCHIATRY IS A CRITICAL SERVICE IN OUR OUTPATIENT PROGRAM, ESPECIALLY IF MEDICATION CAN HELP ADDRESS A CHILD'S PROBLEMS. PSYCHIATRIC PROVIDERS ARE THE MEDICAL STAFF ON THE CHILD'S TEAM. PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHIATRIC NURSE PRACTITIONERS CAN EVALUATE A CHILD FOR THE NEED FOR FURTHER TESTING, HELP PARENTS AND CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THE ILLNESS AND PRESCRIBE MEDICATION. OFTEN MEDICATION IN CONCERT WITH PSYCHOTHERAPY OR "TALK THERAPY" IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES IMPROVE THEIR SITUATIONS. HELPING FAMILIES UNDERSTAND THE BIOLOGICAL REASONS FOR A CHILD'S ILLNESS IS VERY HELPFUL IN MANAGING THE SYMPTOMS THEY DEAL WITH EVERY DAY. 1,175 CLIENTS SERVED IN 2019.
UMCH FAMILY SERVICES HAS A LONG-STANDING HERITAGE IN AND AROUND ADOPTION. FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, WE HAVE BEEN HELPING TO CREATE FOREVER FAMILIES THROUGH ADOPTION. IN FACT, MANY CHILDREN WERE ADOPTED FROM WHAT USED TO BE REFERRED TO AS THE CHILDREN'S HOME IN OUR EARLIER YEARS. OVER THE YEARS, WE RECEIVED NUMEROUS INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION PROCESS FUELING THE CREATION OF OUR FORMAL ADOPTION PROGRAM THAT OPERATES WITH A DEDICATED ADOPTION COORDINATOR TO HANDLE ALL INQUIRIES AND TO GUIDE OUR CLIENTS THROUGH THE ADOPTION PROCESS.UMCH FAMILY SERVICES BELIEVES IT IS IMPORTANT TO HELP FOREVER FAMILIES STAY TOGETHER. ADOPTION CAN BRING A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES FOR A CHILD, ADOPTIVE PARENTS AND EXTENDED FAMILY THROUGHOUT THE LIFELONG PROCESS OF ADOPTION. OUR POST ADOPTION CLINICIANS UNDERSTAND HOW A CHILD'S PRE-ADOPTION EXPERIENCES INFLUENCE LIFE IN THEIR ADOPTIVE HOME.5 CLIENTS SERVED IN 2019.
