What Is The Community Service Agency?
The Community Service Agency (CSA) is a community -based organization whose function is to facilitate access and coordination of care for youth with serious emotional disturbance who require or are already utilizing multiple services or child serving systems (e.g. child welfare, special education, juvenile justice, mental health).
The CSA uses the Wraparound process as a way to improve the lives of children with complex needs and their families. 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.

What Is The Systems Of Care Committee?
Community 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.
The 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.
The 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.

Who Can Become A Member?
Membership in the local Systems of Care Committee is open to the public and should include, but is not limited to:

Parents/Caregivers
Grandparents
Extended Family Members
Transitional Aged Youth (ages 14-20)
Community Service Providers
Business Community Representatives
