3. Systems of Care Defined
“A broad flexible array of effective services and supports for a defined, multi-system-involved population, which is organized into a coordinated network, integrates care planning and care management across multiple levels, is culturally and linguistically competent (or responsive), builds meaningful partnerships with families and with youth at service delivery, management, and policy levels, has supportive management and policy infrastructure, and is data-driven”.
Pires, S. (2010). Building Systems of Care: A Primer. Washington, DC: Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development, National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health.

5. Effective Systems of Care…
…needs organized leadership, decision-making, and oversight:
provided through a group or team effort,
comprised of those persons who hold a shared vision for what needs to be done, can identify and eliminate barriers, including gaps in services
can communicate information so services are not duplicated and needs are met more efficiently, and
have the ability and resources to make those things happen.
