The Turning Point Family Care Key People and Organizational Structure

Turning Point Family Care has assembled a professional team of committed individuals with unique gifts and talents, bringing together 100 years of extraordinary experience in the business of child and family welfare.  In order to deliver exceptional therapeutic care, Turning Point Family Care works with only the best possible staff.  Each district office is be lead by a Turning Point Program Manager, and is supported by Life Coaches (formerly known as “trackers”) and other miscellaneous office personnel. 

Furthermore, Turning Point Family Care has recruited and singed on an outstanding group of individuals that make up the Board of Directors.  Each Board Member was selected under a strict criteria; they all had to possess the shared vision of bringing “healing and recovery” to families in crisis.  The Turning Point Family Care Executive Director, Aaron Schimbeck, who directly supervises the entire Turning Point Family Care operation, leads the Board. 

The Key to Professionalism is in the nature of our leadership

The key to our professional organization weighs heavily upon the exceptional qualities of our Program Manager.  The Turning Point Family Care Program manager is mainly responsible for the admission and intake of our foster children, as well as to create and coordinate a vast network of community-based services and resources (known as TEAMCARE) targeted to support the therapeutic process within the individual foster homes. 

Additionally, our Program Managers recruit, train, and license our therapeutic foster parents.  Furthermore, the Turning Point Program Manager is responsible to identify, diagnose, and solve difficulty within the foster home (crisis intervention), help the foster parents with the coordination of the child’s therapeutic needs, assist with the child’s reintegration back into the community, conduct and facilitate treatment team meetings, help to develop treatment themes and goals, conduct foster family in-home trainings, provide therapeutic leadership by managing the clinical needs of the foster child, and ensure the ongoing professional development of the foster families. 

The plan is for each Turning Point Program Manager to oversee and supervise clusters of 5 to 7 foster homes.  Ultimately, as we grow, there will be the need for additional district offices in other geographical regions of the state; each led by an individual Program Manager.  When this growth occurs, Turning Point Family Care will raise up one of the existing Program Mangers form the individual district offices, giving them the additional duty of managing their colleagues.  Specifically, as Turning Point grows, we will purposely develop our Program Managers for future promotion, ultimately preparing them to become “Regional Managers”, as simultaneously supervise several district offices. 

Turning Point support staff, duly named “Life Coaches”, will support the Program Mangers.  Life Coaches are highly skilled and professionally trained case managers.  Their main function will be to support the foster parent in accessing the community-based network of therapeutic services.  The Life Coach is considered a “child and family specialist” who serves up to 12 children.
