Children's System of Care (SOC)
The Children's System of Care Plan is developed annually between NARBHA and ADHS/Division of Behavioral Health Services. The plan outlines the focus of children's public behavioral health service initiatives for the plan year (November 1st through October 31st). A regional forum is hosted by NARBHA and ADHS each year to give an overview of goal areas and obtain initial feedback on planning.
NARBHA‘s plan focuses on the following areas:
- Transition to Adult Programming
- Child and Family Team Practice Improvement
- Partnerships with Youth and Families
- Expansion of Support and Rehabilitation Services
- Development of Dedicated Case Management Services for High-Need Children
- Adolescent Substance Abuse Program Development
- Reducing Use of Congregate (facility-based) Care
- Home Care Training to the Home Care Client
