What is Service Coordination?

 

Service Coordination offers families of children with multiple needs the opportunity to bring providers together at the same table in a coordinated manner to support and wrap services around the family, enabling youth to thrive in their home and school environment.  

 

What is the purpose of Service Coordination?

 

To prevent children or teens who are involved in multiple public systems, and their families, from falling through the cracks due to intake, eligibility, or funding barriers.

 

How Service Coordination Works

 

In Washington County, Service Coordination is a family-driven process designed to bring services and supports to children and families in a  manner that includes family participation at every level.  Washington County Family and Children First implements the evidence-based National Wraparound Model provided by a trained Wraparound facilitator.
