| | | | | | | | Background:
Hennepin County Human Services is seeking to develop a System of Care (SoC) that has a coordinated spectrum of community based services and supports for children and youth who have or are at risk for mental health and related challenges for their family. This SoC will build meaningful partnerships with families and youth, address cultural and linguistic needs, and focus on how youth can function better at home, in school and in their community. The goal is to make system changes to decrease the use of congregate care and reinvest those dollars in evidence-based, community-based services to support youth to maintain community living.
The grant was awarded in the amount of $561,900 to be paid out over 3 years; payments will be received annually in the amount of $187,300 for each year (2018-2019, 2019-2020, 2020-2021).
This grant's focus is children that have complex mental health needs and are involved in multiple child-serving systems. Funds will be used to implement a pilot program from the National Wraparound Implementation Center (NWIC) comprehensive care coordination model. This pilot project will be a program that will support our larger array of Children’s Mental Health Services and align with SoC values. | |
