Madison County

Our Mission

Family Reunification and Support Therapy provides comprehensive home-based therapy to families whose children had been placed in a higher level of care.

Customized Care for Families

  • This program utilizes solution-focused and structural family therapy in its treatment approach.
  • It is our belief that home is the best place for change to occur.
  • We provide services to help families in the transition from feelings of doubt and hopelessness to feelings of competence and possibility in the child’s return home.
  • This program provides opportunities for families to experiment with how to do things differently.
  • We also support the family with case management aimed at the coordination of service providers and the elimination of the need for a social services caseworker.
  • Families have access to 24-hour crisis services, to access support whenever it might be needed.

Referrals

  • Services are accessed through local-county Department of Social Services.

Eligibility criteria

Children who have not yet reached their 18th birthday and who have been adjudicated as a PINS or juvenile delinquent and who are in the custody of the Madison County Department of Social Services and who have been placed in an institutional level of care are eligible for these services. The family will also demonstrate an ability to benefit from services through their level of involvement in their child’s current treatment; and if the child is at risk of further placement either due to a recurrence of the previous circumstances surrounding his/her placement or due to not achieving goals set forth in their comprehensive treatment plan.

Our Mission

Liberty Resources’ case management services help families to cope with and resolve the environmental, social, emotional, and economic issues that may be impacting their ability to provide and maintain a healthy family environment.

Customized Care for Families

  • A plan is developed around the family’s strengths and current support systems. Goals are monitored to prevent placement and to minimize the risk of disruption.
  • Liberty Resources’ offers of support in the family’s home and in the community include support for all members of the family.

  • Skill-building services can be conducted in addition to case-management services.

Referrals

Multisystemic Therapy (MST)

Central Texas Region
Onondaga County
Tioga County
Tompkins County
Ulster County

Our Mission

The purpose of the program is to reunite these children with their families and to provide the services necessary to decrease continued juvenile offenses, prevent further placement outside the home, and to support the family to maintain long-term stability. To reach these goals, the family meets with a therapist multiple times per week to participate in setting goals and developing interventions for the youth.

FEATURES

MST’s interventions aim to improve caregiver parenting skills through developing discipline strategies, to strengthen positive relationships among family members, to increase pro-social activities for youth, to improve youth’s performance in school, and to develop a strong network of supports for the youth and family to help caregivers maintain positive changes

MST uses a strengths-based model to build upon the positive skills the family is already utilizing. Family members get to build their own goals and to work with their therapist to reach the outcomes that are most important to them. At the end of the treatment period, success is measured by eliminating the need for out-of-home placement, reducing contact with police and other members of the juvenile-justice system, and improving behavior in the home, school, and community.

All staff have clinical experience and hold a master’s degree in social work, marriage-and-family therapy, counseling, or a related discipline. All staff adhere to the Multisystemic Therapy Model, which is grounded in research and evidence that best supports success for every family.

Supports Include:

  • Initial assessments, including gathering data from parents, children, caseworkers, probation officers and other relevant sources.
  • Collaboration with family members, referral source staff and Probation staff in providing treatment to youth and family, sharing progress and reaching treatment goals.
  • Development of preliminary and comprehensive weekly treatment plans.
  • Home-based, therapeutic counseling to families, including individual and family sessions.
  • Crisis intervention services.

Eligibility criteria

Texas Family Services are available to youth at risk of out-of-home placement and those involved in the juvenile-justice system.

Multisystemic Therapy

Central Texas Region
Onondaga County
Tioga County
Tompkins County
Ulster County

Our Mission

The program’s primary goal is to decrease a youth’s involvement with the juvenile-justice system by addressing behaviors that may range from truancy, substance-use disorders, criminal activity, or other common antisocial behaviors. MST accomplishes this task by looking at all of the different systems in a youth’s life (individual, family, school, peer, and community) and then working with the youth’s caregivers to develop interventions that will help reduce any negative behaviors.

Internationally Recognized Evidence-Based Practice

  • MST is an internationally known program that was first conceived in the 1970s at the Medical University of South Carolina.
  • MST research indicated the need for treating adolescents in their homes and for addressing all of the systems that impacted their lives on a daily basis.
  • After many years of research, word of MST’s success began to spread, and this led to the creation of MST Services in 1996.
  • MST Services is a licensed organization that offers assistance in developing and maintaining MST program services worldwide.
  • Liberty Resources has been licensed as an MST Network Provider for more than 10 years. This licensure allows us to provide MST services, to provide MST clinical oversight, and to develop the MST model internationally.

Scope of Services

  • MST’s interventions aim to improve caregiver parenting skills by developing discipline strategies, strengthening positive relationships among family members, increasing prosocial activities for youth, improving youth’s performance in school, and developing a strong network of supports for the youth and family to help caregivers maintain positive changes.
  • To reach these goals, the family meets with a therapist multiple times per week to participate in setting goals and developing interventions for the youth.
  • MST uses a strengths-based model to build upon the positive skills that the family is already utilizing.
  • Family members get to build their own goals and to work with their therapist to reach the outcomes that are most important to them.
  • At the end of the treatment period, success is measured by eliminating the need for out-of-home placement; reducing contact with police and other members of the juvenile-justice system; and improving behavior in the home, school, and community.

Substance-Use Specialization

  • The MST program provides substance-use treatment through the MST model.
  • This unique treatment program allows youth who are struggling with substance-use issues to work together with their MST therapist and their caregiver to identify their personal triggers and to develop self-management plans to reduce their risk of drug or alcohol use.
  • Through this program, youth are able to create a personalized plan that targets their struggles with substances, and caregivers are given the opportunity to learn more about their youth’s drug use and to become an active part of the support system that helps reduce this behavior.

Qualified Professionals

  • All staff have clinical experience and hold a master’s degree in social work; marriage-and-family therapy; counseling; or a related discipline that adheres to the Multisystemic Therapy Model, which is grounded in research and evidence that best supports success for every family.

Eligibility criteria

Youth are referred to the program by the county that they reside in.

Foster Care

Cortland County

Our Mission

The Family Foster Care Program is a foster boarding-home program whose staff and foster parents are highly skilled and specialized in providing therapeutic intervention, case management and care coordination, skill building, and independent living for children and youth who have experienced trauma as it relates to being removed from the home due to abuse and/or neglect.

This program is designed to provide clinical and case management support to children, their biological families, and the foster families who participate in the program. The program goal is to provide the level of care and support that would enable children to be successful in a community-based setting. The primary purpose of the program is the prevention of institutionalization for these children.

Therapeutic Counseling & Care Coordination

  • Care Coordination and case management services are provided in an effort to coordinate all services.

Family and Youth Are Supported

  • Youth Specialists access local resources to provide treatment-specific recreational activities and skill-building for the children and to provide respite for the foster parents.
  • A foster parent training group meets monthly.
  • Group activities—such as picnics, a Thanksgiving dinner, and a foster-parent banquet
  • Attendance for interested youth at the State-wide Youth Speak-Out

Preparing New Foster Families

  • In addition to providing services to children, Liberty Resources recruits and certifies the foster families with whom these children are placed.

Eligibility criteria

Typically, referrals are made by the County for those youths that are close to being placed at a residential or critical care facility (RTC or RTF) or those who have been discharged from a residential facility and may be transitioning back into the community.

Dr. Sarmast graduated from Columbia University in 1999 and was accepted to medical schools in both Brooklyn and Syracuse.

After 8 years in the Emergency departments and urgent-care centers of St Joseph’s Hospital and Cayuga Medical Center, in Ithaca, it was clear to Dr. Sarmast that the most significant impact one can have on patients’ health is to prevent emergencies in the first place through good-quality family practice. He made the decision to come to Liberty Resources because of their vision of providing the most-important parts of a person’s health—primary care and mental health—in one location, with the promise of close collaboration and shared decision-making between the two. Dr. Sarmast now feels that his work matters more than ever before.

Apartments are turnkey, and all tenants have the option to take over responsibility of the lease when it is determined that our services are no longer needed.

Transitional Housing – DePalmer House

Our Mission

Liberty Resources offers transitional housing for homeless persons at our DePalmer location. The primary goal of this program is to provide an environment and level of services that will enable residents to attain and maintain safe, affordable permanent housing of their choice.

At least 92% of the clients who are served at DePalmer House are individuals in recovery from chemical addiction. At least two-thirds of the consumers who are served possess a diagnosed—and often untreated—coexisting psychiatric disorder. Many have had previous, recurrent episodes of homelessness.

DePalmer House is centrally located on the west side of Syracuse and is maintained as a confidential site. The two-story house consists of 10 beds with a full kitchen and dining room, two living rooms, three and a half baths, and a full basement complete with storage. Also, there are two staff offices, which serve as confidential counseling areas. The program is staffed 24 hours a day by a program supervisor, assistant supervisor, three direct support professionals (including an awake overnight counselor), and four part-time relief staff.

Scope of Services

Supportive services offered within the program have allowed residents to address longstanding addiction issues that impede their ability to meet their housing needs. Other services-assist residents with complying with their medical treatment regimen, allowing more-fragile residents to improve their health to the point of being able to move into independent housing. DePalmer House program staff provide a variety of support services to meet the special needs of the population served.

DePalmer House offers linkages with social services, nutrition programs, local case management programs, chemical dependency treatment and mental health programs, health care, transportation, and other services and resources.

At the DePalmer House, patients’ goals include self-sufficiency and the attainment of permanent housing. The program staff assess each individual for needed services and assist them in connecting with these services.

Emergency Response to Opioid Overdose

The Liberty Resources Recovery Support Navigator Team (RSN) has teamed up with the Monroe County Department of Public Health (DPH) and created a collaborative pilot program. The goal of this program is to connect Liberty Resources’ Peer Specialists and Family Support Specialists to individuals and families who have recently experienced an overdose.

The DPH receives information on anyone who has suffered an overdose, from both the Rochester Police and Sheriff’s departments within 24 hours of that overdose. The DPH then informs the Recovery Support Navigator Team, and we deploy a Peer and/or Family Support Specialist to that individual and/or family upon receiving the referral. The team starts with telephonic outreach and then works together with that individual in a person-centered approach to develop a plan of support. The RSN Team takes a Peer Model/Harm Reduction approach as well, which means that we are not here to tell anyone what to do, but rather to deeply listen to the needs of the individual and/or family.

Eligibility Criteria

The Recovery Support Navigator program is available for people in need of recovery support and for families of those who are in recovery.

Dummy Prototype

Dummy County Here

Our Mission

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Our Features

Our program is specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals requiring cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral rehabilitation. All of our services are focused on the needs and desired outcomes of the individuals and families we serve.

Service Coordination

The Service Coordinator helps the individual to attain services and to apply to the HCBS/TBI waiver. They are responsible for coordinating and monitoring the provision of all services in the individual’s Service Plan. Together, the Service Coordinator and the individual collaborate to develop the individualized Service Plan, which reflects the individual’s goals, interests, and desired outcomes. Also, the Service Coordinator is responsible for continuing the development, implementation, monitoring, and provision of the Service Plan on an ongoing basis. The Service Coordinator serves as an advocate for the individual in ensuring that all services are implemented as outlined in the Service Plan.

Case Management

In conjunction with residential services, Liberty Resources also offers Case Management. A Case Manager is designated to help recipients of extended services to receive the most-appropriate services to meet their needs. The Case Manager and the individual collaborate to develop an individualized plan of care, which reflects the individual’s goals, interests, and desired outcomes. The Case Manager also ensures that the provisions of services meet the policy requirements and standards that have been set by the insurance carrier. Also, the Case Manager is responsible for continuing the development, implementation, monitoring, and provision of the patient’s individualized plan on an ongoing basis. The Case Manager not only serves as an advocate for the individual in ensuring that all services are implemented as outlined in the plan but also coordinates and collaborates with any internal or external agencies or providers that are needed to effectively facilitate the plan.

Independent-Living Skills Training

Independent-Living Skills Training and Development services are designed to improve the ability of the individual to live as independently as possible in the community. ILST services may be provided in the individual’s home or in the community. ILST services may include assessment; training; and supervision of, or assistance to, individuals with issues related to self-care, medication management, task completion, reduction/elimination of maladaptive behaviors, problem-solving skills, money management, pre-vocational skills, and the skills that are needed to maintain a household.

Structured-Day Program

Structured-Day Program services are provided in an outpatient congregate setting or in the community. These services are designed to improve or maintain the individual’s skills and ability to live as independently as possible in the community. Individuals may choose to engage in groups that emphasize basic work skills, problem-solving, communication, computer operation, cooking, and a wide range of other activities that work on promoting or sustaining their ability to be independent within their community.

Residential Services

Residential services are currently provided to those individuals who have sustained a traumatic brain injury and have a variety of insurances, such as Worker’s compensation, no-fault insurance, or private insurance. The residences are located close to community services and to our Structured-Day Program. These services include support with activities of daily living, community integration, homemaker or housekeeping services, and other personal-care tasks. Also, these services provide safety and oversight of those individuals who require such assistance. The residential environment enables the residents to learn at their own pace and to gain skills that facilitate greater personal independence and self-esteem.

Licensed Home Care Provided by Personal Care Aides

Our Registered Nurse provides an assessment in the development of a care plan that is centered on the needs of the client. A Personal Care Aide not only performs basic personal-care tasks but also provides support with the activities of daily living to help individuals recover in the comfort of their own home:

  • Maintains general cleanliness of the home: launders clothing and bed linens; dusts; vacuums; washes dishes; thoroughly cleans the kitchen and bathroom
  • Ensures that all needed supplies are readily available for client and program use
