Why does Mental Health Matter? 

Mental health is a vital component of our overall health and well-being. Everything we do to promote good mental health in ourselves and our children contributes to a more healthy, balanced, productive, happy life.

Healthy social and emotional development means that a child or youth can identify, regulate and express emotion, form close and secure relationships, and explore their environment and learn.

What is a System of Care?

A system of care is not a program - it is a philosophy of how care should be provided to children and youth. It is an approach to the provision of services that acknowledges the importance of family and other caregivers, school and community, and seeks to promote the full potential of every child and youth by addressing their physical, social, emotional, intellectual, cultural, and linguistic needs.

Systems of Care Core Principles: 
~ Family Driven
~ Child-Centered
~ Youth Guided
~ Culturally and Linguistically Competent 
~ Community Based
~ Strength Based  
~ Uses Evidence Based and 
    Best Practice Models
