It is not a program or a service and is open to members with a Mass Health Behavioral Health insurance component. The key characteristics of the Wraparound process are that a plan is developed by a family -centered team\, is individualized based on the strengths and culture of the child and their family\, and is needs -based rather than service –driven. \n\n\n\n\nWhat Is The Systems Of Care Committee?\nCommunity Service Agency (CSA) and the Systems of Care Meeting (SOC) covers cities and towns in the Greater Lynn area: Lynn\, Lynnfield\, Nahant\, Saugus and Swampscott. \nThe Systems of Care Committee is intended to support the Community Service Agency’s efforts in their local geographic area to establish and sustain collaborative partnerships among families\, parent/family organizations\, traditional and non – traditional service providers\, community organizations\, state agencies\, faith – based groups\, local schools\, Mass Health and its contracted Managed Care Entities (MCEs)\, and other community stakeholders. The local Systems of Care Committee ensures that the Care Coordination of the Community Service Agency is in sync with other service delivery systems\, with state agency services\, and with informal helpers and community resources. \nThe Systems of Care Committee meets monthly to coordinate and integrate family voice into current community resources\, to identify additional supports\, and work together to offer a variety of choices to families without always having to recruit agency providers. At this time\, we have over 500 members in our SOC email group that is distributed via constant contact twice a month. Please email Kyra at kdrescher@jri.org if you would like to be added. \n\n\n\n\nWho Can Become A Member?\nMembership in the local Systems of Care Committee is open to the public and should include\, but is not limited to: \n\nParents/Caregivers\nGrandparents\nExtended Family Members\nTransitional Aged Youth (ages 14-20)\nCommunity Service Providers\nBusiness Community Representatives\nYouth and Recreation Personnel\nChild & Youth-Based Community Activity Providers\nFaith-based Organizations\nSchool Personnel\nCommunity Service Organizations\nParent/Professional Advocacy League Representative\nDepartment of Developmental Services\nDepartment of Public Health\nDepartment of Children and Families\nDepartment of Youth Services\nOrganizations interested in Providing Financial Resources through Grants/ Scholarships to Families in Need\nVolunteers in Child/Youth-based Activities and Organizations\n\nOur Vision\nWork towards the creation of a comprehensive spectrum of mental health and other necessary services which are organized into a coordinated network to meet the multiple and changing needs of children and their families. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe above information was submitted to us by Children’s Friend & Family Services\, a Division of Justice Resource Institute (JRI).
