Mr. Huz earned his MA in public administration/policy analysis from the State University of New York at Albany. His experience includes 15 years in needs assessment and services research. In response to a national call for states to shift from an overreliance on restrictive treatment modalities to community-based systems of care and to the needs identified by the families of children with serious emotional disturbance (SED), the New York State Office of Mental Health has developed Family-Centered Intensive Case Management (FCICM) as part of a research demonstration project. FCICM is intended to empower and support families with children with SED. Staffed by a case manager and parent advocate, FCICM includes respite care, flexible service money, parent support groups, and behavior management skills training. In this study, which had positively controlled experimental conditions, children who were referred for treatment foster care in three rural New York counties were randomly assigned to FCICM or treatment foster care. The present article compares and contrasts the program elements of FCICM and the treatment foster care models, provides an overview of the research design and methods, describes the children and families served, and examines program implementation issues.
