LRT Process The purpose of a Local Review Team (LRT) Staffing is to resolve case specific conflicts that cannot be resolved at other Multidisciplinary Team Staffings (MDT/IPT). Cases should be staffed through MDTs before being referred to the LRT Team Examples: IPT (where available), HT staffing, CBC staffing, DJJ staffing, FSPT, etc. Resolve Service Gaps The LRT focus is on community children to prevent them from coming into care. Types of Cases Referred Baker Acts/Lockouts DJJ Involved/Lockouts Post Adoption Dissolutions Unmet Mental Health/Substance Abuse/Behavioral Health Needs Relative/Non-Relative placement will dissolve without additional support
LRT Process Youth will be set up as an Emergency LRT or included on the Monthly LRT agenda. Youth with continuing issues may be staffed monthly or more frequently based on needs. Person requesting the LRT will be asked to present the youth s case for discussion. The expectation is that follow-up actions from the call will be reported back to the team Success is based on participation by key agencies: DCF, CBC, DJJ, SEDNET/Education, LSF/Community Mental Health Providers, AHCA, Medicaid Managed Care, GAL, Community Transition Teams and Family/Involved Caregivers
