MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 3 Abstract A Multi-Disciplinary Team, within this discussion, is a team of professionals who specialize in different fields but are working together for a common goal. Within the MDT, there will be a collaboration of specialist who can assist the child(ren) and families to ensure the proper services and treatment are provided with the ultimate goal of family reunification. The MDT must understand that while the ultimate goal is to reunite the family, the best interest of the child(ren) is the number one focus. The family’s care, service plan, and treatment plan will be individualized to maintain proper care throughout the course of the case.

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 4 Multi-Disciplinary Team Description Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) can be defined as group of individuals and professionals who work together to produce and/or deliver services for which they are mutually accountable. (Mohman SA, Cohen SG, Mohrman AM. Sr Designing Team Based Paganizations San Francisco: Jossey-Bass 1995). The shared goals of the team are made evident by mutual and cordial interactions by team members, and the roles of each professional in the team are mutually interdependent and accountable to enable achievement of set of goals. In an MDT, each team member implements a specialized part of a care plan, and the main aim of MDT is to collate a range of views on people’s care and to use optimally the knowledge and capabilities from many professionals and sectors. Multidisciplinary team approach makes use knowledge and expertise of professionals from different disciplines, with each discipline approaching the client from their own perspective. This approach often involves separate individual’s consultations. It is common for MDT to meet regularly, in the absence of the client to discuss about shared goals, findings, and discuss future directions for attainment of set goals. MDT provides more knowledge and experience than disciplines operating in isolation. The MDT task group will be formed for the best interest of the child(ren) after they have been taken into protective custody by a child protection specialist. When forming an MDT for the child group and other family members, it is important to understand the trauma the individuals within the family have experienced. This is an important factor as multiply individuals with specific specialties will be designed to assist in the ultimate goal of reuniting the family. The best interest of the child is not to have reunification, then the MDT will determine the best route for the child(ren). Task groups promote efficient and effective accomplishment of

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 5 group task among people who are gathered to accomplish group task goals; the goal is not to change the individual but to help define what the best interest of the child. Multi-Disciplinary Team Leadership Style The leader of the MDT must possess a multitude of skills. Important skills to have within the MDT will include: (1) active listening; (2) tone setting; (3) reflection; (4) clarification and questioning; (5) use of voice; (6) summarizing; (7) identification of allies; (8) encouragement and support; and (9) multicultural understanding (Jacobs et al., 2015). Active listening is an important skill a leader within the MDT must possess as it entails the leader must be listening to all aspects and professional’s views to ensure the best interest of the child (Jacobs et al., 2015). If the meeting is being conducted via ZOOM, this is especially important that the leader pick up on non-verbal cues and ensure all participants are listening to the professional who is currently presenting. Tone setting is another important aspect for a leader of the MDT to possess as with a group of professionals, the tone needs to be serious in nature. Members can end up frustrated or hold a grudge against another professional due to a previous MDT. Keeping all members in the MDT supportive, reminders of the formality, as well as the tasks each professional is to focus on will keep the tone and environment a professional and productive. Use of voice can also influence the tone and atmosphere of the professionals within the MDT. A leader must be aware of their tone patterns which can influence the professionals (Jacobs et al., 2015). The use of reflection is important as it reaffirms and expresses the important message that is being discussed back to all members so they can mirror on the content and feeling (Jacobs et al., 2015). Within reflection the leader can assist the members who are speaking as well as communicate to the other members the important message that is being addressed. The MDT

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 6 professionals must be able to relate to what is being said and apply the message to their own professional aspect within the MDT to ensure the best interest of the child(ren). Clarification and questioning are an important skill for a leader to possess within the MDT. Clarification may be done for the benefit of the entire group as some of the content is complex. Some useful techniques that can be used would be questioning and restating what the professional is expressing (Jacobs et al., 2015). Clarification is an important aspect as some professionals can be vague and/or confusing which can make it difficult for others to understand. When members lose interest, their minds can start to wander (Jacobs et al., 2015). Summarizing what professionals are stating is important for MDT members as it can help tighten the focus of individuals which will allow the leader to stay on topic, or even more onto the next member (Jacobs et al., 2015). A brief summary after each professional presents as well as a summary at the end would allow all members to express the major points that were brought to the attention of the MDT. Identification of allies will assist the leader to useful skills that other professionals and members possess. Being able to rely on other professionals is a good way to handle disruptions with other members as well as helping maintain focus (Jacobs et al., 2015). When identifying allies, this can also help the leader be encouraging as well as providing support to other members as well as the child(ren) and family. Multicultural understanding of the child(ren) and family dynamic is important when leading the MDT. Most groups of made up of several multicultural backgrounds, therefore the importance of understanding as well as how a culture might affect the participation within the group is important to understand and address.

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 7 Being a team leader within the MDT is a long-term group, finding an effective and therapeutic style will need to be emphasized. Choice Theory/Reality Therapy would be an appropriate approach to leadership style. Theoretical Approach Choice Theory/Reality Therapy For the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Task Group that is being formulated for families who have been brought into the child welfare system, a theoretical approach that would best suit the needs of the family would be using the Choice Theory/Reality Therapy in Groups. Choice theory and reality therapy places emphasis on connection and interpersonal relationships (Corey, 2020). Within the choice theory and reality therapy, it is expressed that individuals are responsible for what they choose to do (Corey, 2020). By using the choice theory and reality therapy within the MDT, problems that are presented to the group will focus on the here and now and how to control what the clients are presently doing (Corey, 2020). By keeping the clients focused on the present, it will keep them moving forward to fix the current behaviors that brought the family into care. Within the MDT, it will not be possible to fully address the all the problems that brought the family into care, but rather to focus on the shortest possible time in the most effective manner to reunite the family ( Özdemir & Özdemir, 2021). The MDT will formulate a plan of action that will be broken down into small groups and service plans that will best suit each individual. But the overall goal of the MDT is to find the fasts, efficient, and most reliable method of reuniting the family without them returning into care. By focusing on reality and rationality within the MDT, the guidance of processing the most effective therapy will rely on competencies and strategies that are most effective for the individual ( Özdemir & Özdemir, 2021).

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 8 When using choice theory, the clients must accept their total behavior has been chosen by oneself as they had control over their actions and thinking (Corey, 2020). By the clients accepting their behaviors, it is possible for change in their actions and thinking patterns (Corey, 2020). Reality therapists understand and accept that individuals can feel bad for their behaviors, but they must choose to gain control over their actions, thoughts, and feelings (Corey, 2020). By using different perspectives within the MDT, the main purpose of the reality therapy is to discover the current emotions, thoughts, and conflicts that could be difficult to express ( Özdemir & Özdemir, 2021). Using this technique could assist the individuals to help gain control over their lives by understanding attitudes, feelings, insight, transference, and their past/unconscious motivation (Corey, 2020). The clients will be forces to evaluate their current behaviors which brought their family into the child welfare system. The clients will have to formulate plans for change, commit to the plan, and follow through with their commitment (Corey, 2020). Having the clients understand why their behaviors are not productive to the health and welfare of the children will help the client understand and change their behaviors to better nurture their children when they are returned home. This helps the clients understand their strengths and develop their problem-solving skills ( Özdemir & Özdemir, 2021). Understanding cultural diversity will have an impact on how the family perceives members of the MDT. Being culturally verse will enhance the MDT and its success for the family. Each culture will have their own relative morals, behaviors, values, ethics, norms, and beliefs (Cherry, 2023). Each member of the task group MDT will need to be culturally verse as members of the task team as well as the family is MDT is serving could have a various degree of cultural difference. Understand there is no absolute standard to cultural norms will have a direct

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 9 result in the outcome and understand of the members within the MDT (Cherry, 2023). The MDT will have to analyze the cultural background of the family it will be assisting and serving to gain a better understanding of the practices and behaviors of the client (Cherry, 2023). A tool that can be used to help assist in the understanding of the cultural diversity of the clients is storytelling. Storytelling will enhance the clients hand gestures, facial expressions, and dramatic pauses which can connect the emotions of the clients to the MDT task group (Dunn & Cherup, 2023). By using the storytelling technique, clients can connect as well as broaden the awareness and understanding of the MDT (Dunn & Cherup, 2023). Having a visualization of the cultural values of the client can have a lasting impact on the MDT task group which will in turn assist in the development of the service plan to benefit the family as each family will have different needs and goals. When the MDT has a better understanding of the cultural diversity as well as the needs of the family, the development of the service plan will ultimately have the most beneficial outcome for the family. The main priority of the MDT is to reunite the family while ensuring the family has the proper outlets to assure success. Multi-Disciplinary Team Norms, Rules, & Guidelines Establishing group rules and norms for a Task Group such as a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) will requirement clearly establishing what is expected of each member as well as shared obligations and responsibilities of the members. Establishing who will be a part of the Task Group will determine what the member shall be responsible of. The group shall consist of the social worker who will follow the longevity of the case involving the child(ren) who were taken into protective custody by the investigator. The social worker shall be the main contact person and the individual who will establish what services are

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 10 needed for the return home goal with the parent. Once an integrated assessment is conducted with the parent, and if appliable, the child(ren), then other members of the MDT shall be established. Once services are established then other members shall be decided. Common members of the MDT can include: (1) social worker / case manager; (2) police officer /police detective; (3) psychologist; (4) clinical counselor; (5) child abuse physician specialist; and (6) states attorney office. The family can also identify a member who can act as advocate. The task group can be broken down into subgroups as well. One for each member of the family. Within the subgroups, discussions and care plans can be discussed into further detail and monitored closely ensuring the health, safety, welfare, and best interest of each child. Rules for the main MDT for the entire family shall be the following: 1. Date and time of the meetings that can occur via ZOOM. a. All members shall be on time and present. If a member cannot be present, then a supervisor can substitute. b. The date and time shall remain consistent to ensure member availability. 2. Each member shall have a time allotment to speak regarding their specific role within the MDT. a. Members shall not speak over each other. If there is a question, it can be typed into the ZOOM meeting notes area, have the member raise their hand, or brought up when it is that individuals time to speak. 3. Each member shall be assigned a specific care giving plan to ensure that the services are being received.

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 11 4. Each member shall be honest and forthcoming. Members shall base their feedback of each member based on facts and not assumptions. This will ensure the integrity of the case and family members. Reason for the Rules & Norms: Establishing rules and norms for the group will ensure the group is working on their end of the family group as well as participating in the goal of the family. By setting forth rules and norms, the task group will establish how the team is expected to work together as well what goals and services are expected of each members client. Establishing rules will ensure that all members will have a time to speak and share as well as safeguarding respect for each other. Requirements for Ethical Code: Within this task group, I plan to focus on the ethical codes for the National Association of Social Workers, American Group Psychotherapy Association, and American Psychological Association. One commonality is confidentiality. Confidentiality will be discussed during the initial meeting then re-addressed at the beginning of every monthly meeting. The purpose of confidentiality is to ensure that privacy is maintained. Confidentiality is important as it builds trust between the family and the MDT. When working with families it is important to keep sensitive information private as some cases receive media attention. The MDT has an obligation to keep information confidential as it is important during the assessments and treatment of the family and each member. Cultural competence is another competence that is addressed within multiple code of ethics. Each member of the MDT shall demonstrate an understanding of the family’s culture and how specific services can affect the family and each member. The MDT also has an ethical responsibility is to promote the well-being of the clients/children/family members.

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 12 NASW (2021a) specifically mentions social workers who are members of an interdisciplinary team should participate in and contribute to decisions that affect the well-being of client (2.03 Interdisciplinary Collaboration). If an ethical concern should arise, then the social worker should attempt to resolve the disagreement through appropriate channels that have been established in the rules and norms as well as finding appropriate channels such as a supervisor (NASW, 2021a). As mentioned in the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), each member shall encourage participation from their assigned family member as long as it is appropriate for their needs (AGPA, 2002). Professional obligations within the AGPA (2002) state that psychotherapists shall attempt to inform and alert other group members who are violating ethical principles. By ensuring a checks and balances within the group, ethical standards should be met and maintained. The American Psychological Association (APA) also covers a variety of confidentiality, cultural competence, and human relations (2017). Informed consent with APA covers assessments, therapy, counseling, and consulting services (2017). The psychologist assigned to each family member shall inform the individual that conversations will be discussed and the importance of honesty within the sessions that are had. The psychotherapist shall provide an appropriate explanation and why it is in the best interest to be honest and why the information will be shared with the MDT. The psychologist shall appropriately document written and/or oral consent even with court ordered participation. The psychologist shall also describe the roles and responsibilities of all parties within the MDT. Informed consent NASW (2021a) details that social workers should use a clean and understandable language when speaking with clients and third parties. The social worker is also responsible for ensuring each member of the family understands what their roles and rights are.

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 13 The AGPA (2002) states that shared information about group members after addressing all members and clients within the group. This entails within the MDT that all members and family members will be aware that information will be shared, but the shared information will remain within the MDT. Example of Consent Forms A document regarding consent would be presented to the MDT before the first meeting. Within the consent form the following would be addressed: “Multidisciplinary Team Confidentiality Agreement Family Case 2023-JA-123 Peoria County Smith Family The mission of the Multidisciplinary Teams (MDT) Coordinated by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is to conduct full reviews of abuse and/or neglect allegations and to develop effective and efficient responses. As an MDT participant, other agencies may inform me of confidential client and/or family information. The purpose for the disclosure of this confidential data is to ensure that appropriate social services, legal services, and medical care is obtained for the family regarding allegations of abuse and/or neglect and that they are investigated which could lead to a prosecution. I understand that information contained in, or other agencies records are designated as confidential pursuant to the laws and regulations of the State of Illinois, and its implementing regulations and shall not be disclosed by me to any person, organization, agency, or other entity except as authorized or as required for the purposes of a criminal investigation, DCFS investigation, and/or prosecution or as otherwise required by law. I agree that such information may not be used for any purpose other than the purposes stated in this agreement. I understand that any other use or release to any party of such confidential information or records without prior written consent, will be presumed to be a breach of this Confidentiality Agreement. I further agree that any breach of confidentiality may result in the referral of the matter to an appropriate enforcing entity for potential sanctions. If I am a visitor coming into the meeting to observe the MDT, I agree to all of the above- stated conditions in this Confidentiality Agreement. I also agree that I shall be treated in the same manner as the members of the MDT and will be subject to this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the members of the MDT. I the undersigned, as a representative of the agency listed below and member or visitor of the MDT, agree that all information discussed

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 14 and/or obtained in these case review meetings will remain confidential other than for the reasons stated above. This Confidentiality Agreement will be renewed on an annual and/or case by case basis.” “I agree to treat the identity of all identifying information about clients and other members of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services as well as the location and other identifying information about the shelter, and transitional houses as confidential. Clients’ names will not be mentioned outside the structure of the program. Cases will not be discussed with any person other than an Illinois Department of Children and Family Services or agreed to member of Smith Family MDT, unless specifically authorized by the client. Each organization has an obligation to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information and shall not disclose the identity of an individual or information about a particular person without their consent. The policy of IL-DCFS recognizes the rights of individuals to privacy and conforms to the general principles defined by the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, generally accepted social work practice and the guidelines of various professional associations. IL-DCFS believes this to be important for each employee and volunteer is expected to read, understand, and sign a confidentiality agreement before starting to work or volunteer. The principle of confidentiality limits the disclosure of personal information client served that is revealed in a service (medical, counseling, legal) relationship. Clients expect their information to be safeguarded within the service relationship.” Each member shall be responsible for reading, acknowledging/signing, and asking questions regarding confidentiality before the first MDT meeting. Interns within each agency would be allowed to attend the MDT with the understanding of consent, signing of the consent form, and have a knowledge of the case. Interns would not be allowed to participate in the discussions. If an intern would have a question, that shall be directed to the mentor after the meeting is concluded. It is important for interns to have knowledge of MDT’s, how they are conducted, what is expected of each member, and how to conclude the MDT as the MDT could last a couple of years as the Juvenile and/or Criminal Case progresses. Within the consent before the first MDT, another document shall be provided that tells what each professional’s role is within the MDT along with their background information,

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 15 contact information, and how their role will impact the group as well as the child(ren) and family. Multi-Disciplinary Team Sessions During Developmental Stages Beginning Phase: When forming a task group/MDT in the beginning phases it is important to understand the roles and functions of each member. Exercises for the beginning phase that would be appropriate would be (1) ice breaker exercise and (2) goal setting exercise. The purpose of the ice breaker is to explain who you are, what you represent, what you do, and why you do it. I chose ice breaker due to the fact there will be multiple individuals who are participating in the MDT, and it is important to understand everyone’s role within the group as well as their expertise. With an ice breaker exercise in “real world” it can be described as “cheesy”, but the information gathered on your team members will help identify strengths and gain an understanding of how the individual will be functioning/assisting the MDT as a whole. Some challenges that I have observed in MDT is the thought of “don’t you know who I am” attitude of members who have been a part of other MDTs with other families. The pattern that I have noticed with this sort of behavior is usually with police officers. Once the leader emphasizes the importance of the role of the police officer, commonly, they are less guarded and understand their importance in the decision making of the placement and goals of the family. Ice breakers are also important with making everyone within the MDT comfortable and knowledgeable with each member. The purpose of goal setting exercise to is gain respect and knowledge of each other’s point of view as the common goal is for the children (power struggles). Once goal setting has been identified, the task roles will be identified with the members what their responsibilities regarding the best interest of the child. When setting goals, it is important to remember to use

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 16 SMART goals. SMART goals are goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timebound. It is important that each member has a clear definition of their specific goal, and they are able to explain it to the other members of the MDT. The ice breaking exercise and the goal setting exercise should take place in the first meeting of the MDT. I would want to address each member before the meeting date so they can be prepared on what they are going to present to the group. I would want to keep the initial meeting to be about an hour giving each member approximately 10 minutes to give a brief description of themselves and their role/purpose of the MDT. Middle Phase: Exercises for task group middle phase could be (1) brainstorming; (2) rounds / progress reports; (3) feedback; and (4) calming exercising to be thrown in as needed. When the MDT brainstorms together this exercise will allow all member to contribute to the potential solutions regarding the family unit (Keely, 2021). When brainstorming, this is an important technique as it can uncover not only a variety of solutions to the problem but help team members work together for the next steps of the family and children. Another common and productive exercise would be rounds in the form of progress reports regarding the family and children. Rounds are the most valuable exercises that can generate a lot of production discussion within the group (Jacobs et al., 2015). Rounds would be productive in establishing what each member is responsible for, what has been uncovered, and what next steps need to be taken. Feedback exercises provide an opportunity for other members to hear what is happening and what other group members are thinking (Jacobs et al., 2015). It is important for the group leader to emphasis the feedback is to be helpful and not cruel and/or insensitive (Jacobs et al.,

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 17 2015). Presenting helpful and important information is crucial to the best interest of the child(ren). An exercise that I feel is important to add to the MDT is a calming exercise. As previously stated, the MDT’s that I have been to, there always seems to be a power struggle or tensions begin to get high. Tension might rise when there are differences of opinion on what is best for the child(ren) involved. Some members do not understand the importance of keeping families together and limiting the trauma to the family. If family members are making progress to recovery and actively participating in the service plans, then courts will order for the family to be reunited. When a group become heated in discussion or becomes intense, as a leader, it is important to notice the cues and either take a break from the discussion or to have a reflective moment. End Phase: Exercises for task group during the end phase would be (1) group decision making and (2) gratitude. While the whole goal of the MDT is to make a group decision on what the best interest of the child will be, it is important for all members to work together for the common goal of the child(ren). While each MDT member will have a different task assignment, the group as a whole must formulate all the information gathered and presented to determine what the best interest of the child(ren) will be. Decision making is crucial to the MDT as facts that have been gathered need to be discussed to implement what measures need to be taken into considered for the best interest of the child(ren). The MDT can be a stressful and difficult group to complete therefore it should be an important step to express gratitude at the conclusion of the group. Expressing gratitude can be in many forms, but within the stressful situation, I feel it would be important to express to members how important their role was within the MDT. Having a destressing moment at the conclusion of

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 18 the MDT would be beneficial to all members are they are appreciating the efforts that everyone has put forth for the child(ren) and family. Problems that could arise in any phase would be the disengagement of the family from services. If disengagement of the family happens, then the MDT needs to re-evaluate the best interest of the child(ren) to determine if, in fact, the best interest is to keep the children involved with the family/parents. Disengagement can have numerous forms such as not coming to MDT, not complying with the service plan, or not attending supervised visits. The service plan can have many aspects such as drug drops, family counseling, individual counseling, group counseling, anger management sessions, psychiatric visits (medication management), or even regular doctor visits. Service plans are developed after the intergraded assessment which is completed by a specialist who completes a long and detail assessment of live events of each participant within the family group. Service plans are normally court ordered; therefore, compliance is necessary. Some individuals for whom the service plan was developed do not believe they have a problem or problematic behaviors. If the services are ordered and the individual is not complying, commonly the judge will have a meeting and remind the individual of the important of complying. After the individual has a meeting with the judge, the social worker can have another meeting to address why the individual is not complying. Some individuals are afraid to ask for help and are missing aspects due to lack of financial support. To ensure the individual can make it to court ordered services, a bus pass or even an UBER gift card can be provided to the individual to ensure they have a ride to the service. If the member still does not comply, the social worker will attempt to take the individual to the services. If the individual still does not wish to comply, the judge will give notice on proceeding to termination of parental rights. In

MDT GROUP PROPOSAL 19 some cases, this forces the individual to comply and get the necessary help in order to complete the services. This information is important within the MDT as it can give insight on what the best interest of the child is. If an individual does not want to comply even after given several chances, the MDT can decide and present their evidence to the judge for appropriate steps. MDT could overcome the challenges of dealing with difficult family members by making sure they are engaged and willing to participate. If MDT members observe family members / parents are pulling away from engagement services, it is important to redirect and help refocus. If family still proceeds to disengage, then the best interest of the child(ren) will need to be addressed as the family is not cooperative of correcting the reasons of involvement and/or not engaging in services to correct the conditions. Successful Multi-Disciplinary Team Ensuring the success of the MDT is of up most importance as the best interest of the child(ren) and reunification of the family is the ultimate goal. When working within the MDT there will be multicultural conflicts that will arise. Understanding the family and their background will help make specific goals that will need to be reached with service plans for the parents. Cultural awareness will also help with the family in communication and understanding basic wants and needs (Corey, 2020). Expressing to the family that it is okay to experience different levels of mental health and to ask for assistance could be a cultural barrier that would be addressed. Within some cultures, family matters are to stay directly in the family without outside assistance. This can be difficult to express to families who have been brought into the system as they do not comprehend what they did is not socially acceptable within the State of Illinois. Having an understanding of the cultural needs of the family can also lead to a successful closure of the juvenile case. Working with the family and addressing concerns will allow the successful
