The initial goal of the first phase of FFP implementation is to ensure that the site builds a lasting infrastructure that supports probation/parole officers to take maximum advantage of FFP training/consultation. During this phase, staff are trained on the core constructs, assessment, and intervention techniques of FFP and ongoing monitoring of outcomes via agency data collection or the use of FFP’s web-based documentation system. Additional time is spent in addressing site-specific implementation challenges (i.e.— referral criteria, referral process, integration of services, system barriers, etc.). It is expected Phase 1 to be completed in one year, but not any longer than 18 months. By the end of Phase I, FFP’s objective is for officers to demonstrate strong adherence and high competence in the FFP model.
The goal of the second phase is to assist the site in creating greater self-sufficiency in FFP, while also maintaining and enhancing site adherence/competence in the model. During this phase, FFP’s focus is on the continued support and training the FFP team supervisor. FFP Supervisors will attend two supervisor trainings. After completion of the 1st supervisor training, the onsite supervisor is then supported by FFP via bi-weekly phone consultations and a one-day follow-up training. In addition, FFP provides any ongoing consultation as necessary. Specific areas of focus include ongoing development of individual staff, the team’s adherence and competence to the model, data trends, community barriers etc. Phase II is a year-long process.
The goal of the third phase of FFP implementation is to move into a partnering relationship to ensure ongoing model fidelity and staff development, interagency linking, and program expansion. FFP provides annual training activities and monthly consultation services to support the site’s continuous education and competence in FFP. The annual oversight and consultation practices are considered necessary for an FFP site to remain certified.
FFP will continue to contract with sites annually upon completion of the Phase 3 training phase. Annual contracts will replicate activities described in the Phase 3 training phase which are considered necessary for an FFP site to remain certified.
