Summary:
|
| |
Contra Costa County will develop and implement a Family-to-Family System of Care. The plan will use a neighborhood, consumer-driven team decision-making (TDM) approach and will be linked to existing wraparound approaches and flexible funding to ensure a seamless system of care. Assessment, service delivery, and evaluation efforts must all take into account the family’s culture, ethnicity, religion, race, gender, socioeconomic status, language, sexual orientation, geographical origin, neighborhood location, and immigration status. To help ensure cultural competence, the system will emphasize active involvement of the family and members of the community, strength-based assessment, and a program to recruit and hire former consumers to serve on the teams.
