What is a System of Care?
What is a System of Care?
A spectrum of effective, community-based services and supports for children and youth with or at risk for mental health or other challenges and their families, that is organized into a coordinated network, builds meaningful partnerships with families and youth, and addresses their cultural and linguistic needs, in order to help them to function better at home, in school, in the community and throughout life.
Stroul, Blau & Friedman (2010)
An alternate definition
An adaptive network of structures, processes, and relationships grounded in system-of-care values and principles that provides children and youth with serious emotional disturbance and their families with access to and availability of necessary services and supports across administrative and funding jurisdictions.
Hodges, Ferreira, Israel, & Mazza (2006)
