Steering Committee
Target population is children and youth, birth to 18, who have emotional and behavioral health problems and who touch at least two systems. This population includes children and youth who are at risk as well as those who already have a diagnosed problem.
Charge
Develop a plan to finance and to provide accountability for statewide emotional and behavioral health services for children, youth and their families that reflect system of care values and wraparound principles. The finance and accountability structures should enable, encourage and provide incentives for:
1. Knowing the true cost of providing emotional and behavioral healthcare to children across systems
2. Tracking outcomes of system of care and wraparound implementation
3. Providing efficient, effective, and coordinated resources to meet child and family needs and to promote positive development
4. Planning that is individualized to fit specific children and their families and that emphasizes early intervention and community-based service and support approaches
The plan should specifically include the following:
(a) A multi-year action plan to implement necessary policy, statutory changes and federal waivers
(b) Strategies to address:
o State and local financing
o Local implementation and roll out
o Culturally appropriate services
o Measurement of service and finance outcomes
o Coordination across and between state and local services
(c) Methods to overcome barriers
(d) Statewide vision and principles that are sensitive to Oregon’s diversity
