We work
collaboratively
We bring our community together to harness the expertise and insights of local businesses, health and human services, public safety, the judiciary, education, non-profits, families, and many more.
We leverage community resources and ensure integration of services and support for youth with complex needs, and their families, bringing people together from different parts of the whole family’s life to create a strengths-based plan.
We improve relationships and communication and identify gaps and barriers among all child-related agencies to ensure all entities work together when serving children, youth, and families involved with multiple agencies.
