Request for Extension to Keep Case Open Completed Form Examples and Samples

Case Manager: Sarah Jenkins. Regarding the Miller family case (CYCIS ID: 88492-AX), our team at the Riverside Family Services agency in Summit County continues to work through the goals set during the initial opening on March 14, 2026. The case was initially opened due to concerns regarding parental substance use and lack of adequate supervision for the two minor children. The primary family goal has been for the parents to maintain sobriety and for the caregiver to demonstrate consistent, active engagement with the children through planned, supervised recreational activities. While progress has been steady—specifically, both parents have remained sober for four months and have completed the intensive outpatient program—we are hitting a wall regarding the transition to unsupervised visits. Recent assessments suggest the caregivers still struggle with de-escalation techniques during high-stress interactions. We are currently implementing a behavioral strategies roadmap that includes bi-weekly coaching sessions and mandated participation in the 'Positive Parenting' workshop series over the next six months. We believe that keeping the case open until November 15, 2026, is essential to provide the necessary monitoring and support to ensure these new behavioral patterns are cemented, thereby securing a safe case closure. The progress achieved so far gives us strong confidence that the parents are committed to the objectives, and the added extension will allow for the final transition to be observed without risk to the minors. I, Sarah Jenkins, formally request this extension based on the milestones outlined in the current service plan.
