Integrated Community Services – Keeping Children Out of Higher Levels of Care
Event Description: This webinar is for mental health professionals seeking effective, community-based alternatives to intensive treatment settings for children and youth. Participants explore the documented successes of a multidisciplinary, wraparound service model that delivers person-centered, outcomes-driven care for at-risk youth. The presentation provides an overview of Florida’s legislative framework for intensive community mental health services that often serves as a critical step to prevent placement in higher levels of care.
Attendees are introduced to the Community Action Treatment Team (CAT Team) model, and the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving measurable, positive outcomes. The webinar highlights key data points, real-world family stories, and proven strategies that demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated community services.
