Presented at the 22nd Annual Research Conference

Systems of Care Practice Review's impact Home and Abroad (Iowa and Ottawa).

We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Session Number: 30 Room: Salon C

Presentation Type: symposium

Chair: Mary Armstrong Discussant: Myra Alfreds

Synopsis: Two studies selected the SOCPR to study their youth-serving systems. Iowa selected four sites with varying demographics for review. The other project utilized the SOCPR in Ottawa, Canada. The two projects will present a summary of results and discuss reactions to the findings, implementation actions, and next steps. The System of Care Practice Review (SOCPR) is a case study methodology designed to obtain information from families, their formal service providers (case managers, therapists and other providers), and informal helpers concerning service planning, service delivery, child and family progress, and satisfaction with services. The SOCPR presents a measure of how well the needs of children with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families are being met by documenting their experiences in four domains: child centered and family focused, community based, culturally competent, and impact. Each child and family is considered to be a unique evaluation of the system of care.

The goal was to gain a “baseline” of the children’s mental health delivery system through a methodology known as the System of Care Practice Review and to generate system-level and practice-level recommendations for improvement based on the system of care framework.
