A system of care is a coordinated network of community-based
services and supports that are organized to meet the
challenges of children and youth with serious mental health
needs and their families. Families and youth work in
partnership with public and private organizations to design
mental health services and supports that are effective, that
build on the strengths of individuals, and that address each
person's cultural and linguistic needs. A system of care
helps children, youth, and families function better at home,
in school, in the community, and throughout life. There are
currently five local systems of care located throughout the
state of Montana.
