Family-centered intensive case management: a step toward understanding individualized care
Article Abstract:
A comparison between two family based treatments shows that individualized care treatment yields better results than non-individualized treatment for children with emotional disturbances. Children referred to foster care either in Family Centered Intensive Case Management (FCICM) or Family Based Treatment (FBT) reveal that subjects in the former exhibit reduced symptoms. They also indicate significant improvement in behavior, emotions and performance as compared to those in FBT. Positive results in terms of behavior management skills and family strengths are seen in the parents.

Understanding respite care use by families of children receiving short-term, in-home psychiatric emergency services
Article Abstract:
Respite care is generally acknowledged to be a crucial support service for families raising a child with a disability or with serious emotional disturbances. A study was conducted on the efficacy of in-home crisis intervention services and the use of respite care services for families of children experiencing a psychiatric crisis. Results suggest that information about respite care must be provided to families in an accessible way, on several occasions and with an aim to problem solving in order for these families to capitalize the use of an available resource.

Factors associated with respite care use by families with a child with disabilities
Article Abstract:
The factors influencing the use and non-use of respite care by families with a mentally or physically disabled child are examined. These factors include the service requirements of children, the perception of the services, the use of other family services and the ethnic backgrounds of the potential users. Differences in utilization were not found to be related to age, family size, family income or service needs of the child. Utilization was low among families receiving Tax Equity Fiscal Responsibility Act benefits.
