Family System of Care

Share This:FacebookTwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Google PlusPinterestDiggStumbleUponDeliciousReddit

All of us face challenges in our lives.  In Jay County, we want to make sure that an effective support system exists for families burdened by mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, and other serious issues.

We will help families grow stronger by offering an easy-to-navigate system of technical assistance and resources that promote safe, stable, nurturing, and thriving families.

Update from Meeting held Thursday, September 22, 2022, at 9am at The Portland Foundation.

Family System of Care – Justin Littman shared that work continues on developing a Family Resource Center in the county.

Jay County helps families grow stronger by offering an easy-to-navigate system of technical assistance and resources that promote safe, stable, nurturing, and thriving families.

Jay County families of all types are affirmed and respected when they interact with partner organizations and can easily navigate the system of care.

Explore creation of a Family Resource Service Center based on successful models in Colorado and Pennsylvania. This may or may not include physical co-location of services.

Create a comprehensive “no wrong door” system of care using “warm hand-offs” to help families get the help they need.

Train participating partner organizations in how to provide trauma informed, strengths-based care.

Number of individuals/families participating in Service Center programs that may be adopted.

Number of sub-stantiated DCS cases.

Number of adults and children incarcerated in county jails.

As parents and other family caregivers become more confident and adept in leading their families, there are fewer confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect and fewer victims of substance abuse. We see improvement in Economic Self-Sufficiency and Health measures chosen to assess family stability based on factors TBD and in Protective Factors that help prevent child abuse and neglect.
