Jake’s family planning team met every 4 weeks to review the goals, monitor Jake’s progress, identify further needs, and establish additional goals. Jake responded very well to the implementation of his service plan. He was able to continue to live at home, was active on the high-school basketball team, and continued to excel in math. The in-home family preservation worker reported that family communication had improved significantly and that Jake was responding appropriately to limits set by his mother. In addition, Jake was actively participating in an anger management group and was developing skills to manage his emotions more effectively in social situations. The BERS would be used as part of Jake’s six-month reevaluation.
