What is a System of Care?
System of Care is not a program – it is a philosophy of how care should be delivered. A System of Care is an approach to services that recognizes the importance of family, school and community, and seeks to promote the full potential of every child and youth by addressing their physical, emotional, intellectual, cultural and social needs.
When children with mental health needs receive coordinated services, their functioning substantially improves at school, home and in their community. The System of Care will help bridge a gap to services and help put an end to stigma.
