Overview
The FACTS system transformation is being implemented in order to ensure that services and supports for children, youth, young adults and families are integrated across human service systems and implemented consistent with System of Care and Trauma-informed Care values and principles. Supports, consisting of local public and private organizations working in teams, will plan, enhance & implement an enhanced set of services tailored to each child’s physical, emotional, social, educational and family needs. FACTS will facilitate families of children and adolescents with SED getting the services they need in or near their home and community. Teams will better find and build upon the strengths of a child and his or her family, rather than focusing solely on their problems.
