In a system of care, mental health, education, child welfare, juvenile justice, and other agencies work together to ensure that children with mental, emotional, and behavioral problems and their families have access to the services and supports they need to succeed. These services and supports may include diagnostic and evaluation services, outpatient treatment, emergency services (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), case management, intensive home-based services, day treatment, respite care, therapeutic foster care, and services that will help young people make the transition to adult systems of care.
A true system of care is about partnership—a partnership made up of service providers, families, teachers, and others who care for a child. Together, the team develops an individualized service plan that builds on the unique strengths of each child and each family. This customized plan is always implemented in a way that is consistent with the family’s culture and language.
