QUALIFYING FOR SERVICE Your child may qualify for service if she or he is currently assisted by two or more different child and family service systems; experiencing serious difficulties in at least two of three functional areas (home, school and community); and, now in, or at risk of, placement outside the home. WHO WE WORK WITH We collaborate with a variety of organizations involved with the child. These organizations are part of the team, and include, but are not limited to: Lake County, Indiana Juvenile Justice Court System (LCJC System) Department of Child Services (DCS) Schools Education centers Local churches Mental health care providers INCORPORATING CIRCLE AROUND FAMILES INTO YOUR CHILD’S CASE PLAN A child may be referred by a juvenile probation officer if determined that the child presents higher levels of emotional and behavioral issues and if the child is a high risk for placement or DOC (department of corrections). If the child is referred by the Department of Child Services, the same can be true but in this instance a more intensive approach is needed to help and support the child. If you are a parent with either scenario, you may inquire with Juvenile Justice or a Family Case Worker from DCS, if your child can be enrolled in the program. For more information, contact Circle Around Families at 219-757-1800.
