“…Involvement was the research subject of seven single studies we found. In the context of residential care, this concept was defined as both the number of family contacts per month (Robst et al, 2013) and as a much broader concept than family contacts. For instance, in their definition, Tam and Ho (1996) included parents exercising their authority and signing consent for treatment, supplying pocket money, or taking their child home for the weekend or on long holidays.…”

“…Outcomes, related to involvement and engagement, included positive changes in child behaviors (McKay et al, 2011;Reid et al, 2004;Robst et al, 2013;Wood et al, 2006), positive changes in parenting stress (McKay et al, 2011), discharge of the child from residential care back to the family (Tam & Ho, 1996), parental satisfaction (Brinkmeyer et al, 2004;Thompson et al, 2009), and increased retention in treatment (Thompson et al, 2009). Brinkmeyer et al (2004 noted that motivational interviewing is a process variable capable of influencing engagement and client satisfaction.…”

“…Second, some of the studies were unclear about what "involvement" or "participation" entailed: some gave a clear description (e.g., McKay et al, 2011;Nix et al, 2009;Robst et al, 2013), while others were less clear (e.g., Corcoran & Dattalo, 2006). In the latter case, it was uncertain whether "involvement" or "participation" meant more than just attendance.…”

Children and Youth Services Review

a b s t r a c tNeeds-led child and youth care has three main characteristics: a continuous focus on clients' needs, client participation in the care process (including decision making), and practitioners' displays of needs-led attitudes and skills. The primary aim of this review was to establish whether there is evidence for using a needs-led approach when working with children and families in need. We performed a literature search to find reviews and outcome studies of child and youth care for school-aged children and their families which included the core characteristics of needs-led care, and related them to outcome measures. Only a few studies attributed positive outcomes of care to the attention given to clients' needs and goals. Most studies referred to participation in terms of clients' involvement or engagement. Higher levels of participation were associated with positive changes in child behaviors and parenting stress, client satisfaction, higher completion rates, safety for children, feelings of well-being and empowerment, and better service coordination. Significant professional attitudes and skills included listening to clients and working in active partnership with them. There is some proof for the relevance of core characteristics of needs-led child and youth care, although that evidence is limited by the lack of rigorous studies. This study indicates that needs-led child and youth care can make a difference. Future research should pay attention to the intertwinement of the characteristics of the needs-led approach in care.

“…Independent variables that we examined for their relationship to discharge status included rate of consultations (average number of consultations occurring in each month of stay), length of stay, and funding source. The rate of consultations was selected in order to determine whether frequency of this particular form of family contact influenced outcomes, especially in light of previous research suggesting that family involvement and family therapy are most impactful on residential outcomes (Robst et al 2013 ). Although it is not clear from previous research if length of stay is associated with deleterious effects for the youth in treatment, it was selected as a variable due to increased focus on its impact on treatment (James et al 2012 ).…”

“…Family therapy is only one method of involving families in their child’s treatment, and has evolved in some cases to better meet the needs of families (Huefner et al 2015 ). For example, in order to make services accessible to families, therapy by phone has been used (Robst et al 2013 ). The options appear broad for facilitating a family’s role in its youth’s care.…”

The Relational Re-enactment Systems Approach to Treatment model is an approach to residential treatment that embraces the need for family involvement through clinical consultation. Clinical consultation is a systems-oriented family intervention that embodies the model’s principles regarding therapeutic alliance and working through ambivalence. Families engage with treatment providers and other collaterals in an ongoing process of developing goals, creating a shared understanding of the youth, and working toward discharge. The current study explored youth characteristics and outcomes. Additionally, the investigation included comparisons between youth with and without the involvement of the Department of Children and Family Services in terms of length of stay, involvement in consultation, and sustained outcomes. Finally, therapists who work with youth and their families discussed their understanding of what differentiated successful and unsuccessful cases.
