About CHARPP

 

Child & Adolescent Residential Psychiatric Programs (CHARPP) is an association of nationally accredited residential programs serving children and adolescents and their families in Oregon. Founded in 1992, CHARPP's mission is promoting quality and accountability through shared best practices.

 

In 1994, CHARPP's Continuous Quality Improvement Committee developed the CHARPP Improvement Measurement Program (CHIMP). This benchmarking program has assisted CHARPP in improving its programs and is a listed measurement system for the Joint Commission accreditation requirements.

 

CHARPP's goal is to build a community of similar organizations using benchmarking and performance measurement to help each other climb to greater levels of success and quality.

 

CHARPP has several committees within its association.  Members of the Executive Committee and Conference Program Committee are listed below.

AN EXTREME MAKEOVER FOR THE BEAST:  TENSION AND SYNDROMES AND THE ROLE OF TOTAL CLINICAL OUTCOMES MANGEMENT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES

 

John S. Lyons, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychiatry and Community Medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and Director of the Mental Health Services and Policy Program.

 

Dr. Lyons is a national expert in the development of decision-making tools to develop and support mental health care systems that best meet the needs of children and their families.  He has developed several reliable measures of clinical symptomatology, behavioral risk, and clinical capacity, and he has used these measures to develop appropriate and efficient mental health systems of care for several states, including Alaska, Florida, New York, and New Jersey.  Dr. Lyons frequently consults with individual agencies, research institutions and other researchers on issues of service delivery reform and improvement. 

 

Dr. Lyons has published more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and four books, including the most recent Redressing the Emperor:  Improving the Children’s Public Mental Health Service System.   This text has been described as “an engaging treatise on the state of our children's mental health system, explaining why needed improvements are non-existent or inconsistent, and describing two strategies to fuel evolution of the system for better service to our youngsters."  Most recently, Dr. Lyons developed the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tools, which have been implemented in more than 30 states

 


 

10:15 am – 11:45 am

Session 1

 

 

 

Option 1:  Data Collection Really Can Be Useful!:  Program Evaluation of the Whatcom County Teen Court (Skillbuilding)

The goal of this workshop is to introduce user-friendly program evaluation tools.  The presented surveys and discussion protocols were developed specifically for youth court evaluation, but the approach can be adapted to fit the needs of other types of youth programs.  The evaluation model is a multi-informant approach with perspectives from youth offenders, parents, youth court personnel, and courtroom observers.  This subjective information is supplemented with data from court records and standardized measures. 

Deborah Kirby Forgays, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Western Washington University.  Dr. Kirby Forgays obtained her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Vermont.  Her professional clinical experience includes work in an outpatient clinic, pediatric practice, and at a residential facility for severely emotionally disturbed children and adolescents.  Prior to joining the faculty at Western Washington University, Dr. Kirby Forgays conducted research on adolescent behavioral health in the U.S., Italy, and Poland.
