Child, Adolescent & Family
Systems of care are developed on the premise that the mental health needs of children, adolescents, and their families can be met within their home, school, and community environments. These systems are also developed around these principles: child-centered, family-driven, strength-based, and culturally competent with interagency collaboration. The Child, Adolescent and Family Branch embraces and promotes these core principles of systems of care.
