Lead Measure 2a: Referrals for Reunification and In-home Services Made Throughout the Duration of the Case
Why is this lead baseline measure important? Early referrals contribute to better preparation, reduced delays, improved outcomes, and overall more successful reunifications. Reunification referrals occur at the time of reunification, and in-home services can occur throughout the entire tenure of the case. What is significant about this graph? Kentucky Department for Children and Family Services (DCBS) data indicates the cases for which a prevention strategy has been identified. 1200 referrals were made for prevention programming, while only 181 were for reunification. Two-thirds of referrals were to motivational interviewing.
