OVERVIEW
As part of our efforts to achieve our vision of “a comprehensive, integrated, and culturally response children’s mental health service system in Hennepin County,” CMHC began its planning work to implement a System of Care in early 2021.
A system of care is defined as:
“A spectrum of effective, community-based services and supports for children and youth with or at risk for mental health and related challenges and their families that is organized into a coordinated network, builds meaningful partnerships with families and youth, and addresses their cultural and linguistic needs in order to help them to function better at home, in school, in the community, and throughout life.”
