Many children have a variety of physical, mental, social, emotional, educational, and developmental needs. A System of Care framework is used to provide the necessary services to these children.

A System of Care is a child and family focused framework based on the principles of:

• inter-agency collaboration
• individualized, strength-based practices
• cultural competence
• community-based services
• full participation of families at all levels of the system
• Shared responsibility for successful results
