Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative
“Network”

Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative is a national effort to deliver wraparound services to children and families and provide coordinated, community based services and supports to children and their families with the primary goal of preventing out-of-home placements and keeping families together. This is accomplished through Network Services. Network is an innovative approach to working with families who need the help of a variety of service systems. It is a "Family Friendly" approach that concentrates on family’s strengths rather than on problems.
Network brings together the community's principal service providers who meet with the child/youth, parents, family members and others of the families' choosing to jointly create a coordinated, individualized Family Plan, utilizing all of the service resources of the community. The plan is family driven since a Network Meeting always focuses on what the family needs and expands the pool of services available to families.
Network Services are driven by the CCSI Philosophy that ensures services are:

• Individualized and developed for one child and one family at a time
• Creating partnerships between parents and professions
• Strength-based focusing on the child and family strengths as opposed to problems or pathology
• Culturally competent and family-value driven
• Unconditional: we embrace the idea that services are provided to all in need

ALL of our services are free of charge. For additional information please contact:
