“…In a discussion the wraparound process, Handron et al (1998) noted that wraparound facilitates the use of solutionfocused approaches. Frederickson's model is compatible with the findings from Walker's (2004) observational study of wraparound meetings.…”

Using a strength-based approach is one of the hallmarks of the system of care (SOC) initiative, and is consistent with the foundations of community psychology. However, while strengths-based planning is recommended and child and family teams often list child and family strengths, the care plans often do not incorporate the strengths in strategies and interventions. The research base regarding strength implementation and effectiveness is summarized, and needed research is outlined. Steps are offered for promoting the use of strengths in SOCS. Implementing programs from the field of positive youth development is advocated as a way that the educational and criminal justice systems could be more actively engaged in implementing strength-based strategies in SOCs. Promoting SOCs to focus more attentively to asset-building (at the child, family, and community level) is compatible with a public health model that addresses mental health concerns in the context of a full range of supports and services so that all children might experience good mental health and realize their potential.

“…The team’s goal is to develop a plan tailored uniquely to the child and family, including not only their needs but also their strengths (Burns and Goldman 1999; Handron et al 1998; Kendziora et al 2001;VanDenBerg and Grealish 1996). In principle, within family-centered systems, family members are full partners in defining needs and making decisions about the plan of care which, in turn, matches the family’s needs and circumstances (Cook and Kilmer 2004; Tolan and Dodge 2005).…”

This paper emphasizes the value of family-centered care. Discussion highlights family-centered philosophies (e.g., Systems of Care [SOCs]) and practice models (i.e., wraparound) and identifies discrepancies between conceptualizations and actual practice. Data from multiple sources detail issues in fidelity to family-centered values and needs and risks experienced by siblings of children with severe emotional disturbance and their caregivers. This discussion provides a springboard for policy recommendations to strengthen family support programming and enhance family-centered care, from modifying funding streams such that systems extend their reach beyond children with full-blown, diagnosable problems (those meeting standards of “medical necessity), to supporting prevention and early intervention initiatives that address families as targets for intervention. Recommendations include ensuring that communities with SOC funding address the needs of families; broadening Medic-aid rules and definitions; expanding the range of reimbursable activities and services; and increasing funding for evaluating family-centered care models and family support programming.

“…A service coordinator who guides a multiagency, multidisciplinary, family-centered team often manages this process (Anderson & Matthews, 2001). These collaborative approaches challenge educators and other service providers to relinquish professional biases and turf issues so that partnerships can be created among providers, across systems, and with families (Anderson & Mohr, 2003;Handron, Dosser, McCammon, & Powell, 1998).…”

Preventing School Failure: Alternative Education for Children a

There is some evidence that systems of care are associated with improved outcomes for the children and youths who participate; however, little research has been conducted on how these approaches affect student functioning in school. In this study, the authors explored the relationship between participation in the Dawn Project system of care and changes in school functioning over time. The authors gathered, analyzed, and compared teacher and caregiver perspectives of changes that occurred in students' school functioning after participating in the Dawn Project for 1 year. Although findings indicated differences in caregiver and teacher perceptions, both groups reported some improvements in school functioning, more so in the area of behavioral functioning than in academic performance. These results help illuminate the degree to which system-of-care involvement affects school functioning and how families and educators can be more fully involved in the collaborative processes inherent in these kinds of cross-system initiatives.
