Systems of care (SOC) is not a program – it is a philosophy of how mental health care should be delivered that recognizes the importance of family, school and community. A system of care incorporates a broad array of services and supports that is organized into a coordinated network. Nationally, over 100 systems of care sites have been funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Cuyahoga County is a current system of care site serving over 240 youth and their families annually through a high-fidelity wraparound model. This presentation will review the history philosophy of systems of care, and focus on the structures, services, outcomes related to the Cuyahoga County site. Practitioners working in systems of care should find this information helpful in aligning their practice skills with evolving community changes.
The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 33 workshops for the Fall 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving.
