COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP FOR COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES

Mission

This coalition of community based agencies provides comprehensive services to children and families needing services due to abuse and/or neglect through a collaborative effort that unites our resources, holds all parties accountable to specific standards of care, evaluates performance and distribution of resources based upon specific and measurable outcomes, holds permanency of the child's living arrangement and the continuity of relationships for the child as the primary goals, and provides these services through an inclusive and informative relationship with the community and with the state.

HILLSBOROUGH KIDS, INC. CONCEPTUAL SYSTEM OF CARE

Mission

Our mission mandates that we oversee and coordinate a system of care assuring the safety and permanency of Hillsborough County children and families whom are now, or have been, at risk of abuse or neglect.

Targeted Population

As our mission states, HKI seeks to serve children and families who have experienced child abuse and/or neglect. We also work with those who, as defined in Chapter 39 of the Florida Statutes, are at risk of abuse or neglect.

Our designed system includes multiple entry points for community members. These entry points seek to serve families; make referrals; and quickly access resources, services and supports.

Wraparound Milwaukee Vision

The Vision of Wraparound Milwaukee is to support, strengthen and empower families and children so they may live happier, healthier and productive lives safely in a community without prejudice or discrimination, and to encourage hope, self-worth and the ability to reach their dreams.

Wraparound Milwaukee Mission

1. Promote collaboration among the Child Welfare, Juvenile Justice, Mental Health and School systems in equal partnership with families.

2. Provide individualized and comprehensive care to families in the community in which they live.

3. To be equal partners with families at all levels of decision-making concerning the design, development and implementation of Wraparound Milwaukee.

4. Promote cultural competency and cultural diversity in the creation and provision of mental health services.

5. Create and provide cost effective community-based alternatives to residential treatment and psychiatric hospitalization.

6. Continuously improve the quality of Wraparound Milwaukee by evaluating outcomes and promoting change.

Mission Statement

The mission of The Dawn Project is to provide new and improved levels of help and assistance to children with serious emotional disturbances and their families. This mission is founded in the belief that children and their families are remarkably resilient and capable of positive development when provided with community centered support, truly defined by what is in the best interest of the child.

Guiding Principles

□ People best develop by remaining with their families or being supported by them.

□ The definition of “family” is varied: each family has its own special qualities.

□ Most families have the potential and the desire to change.

□ The dignity and right to privacy of all family members must be respected.

□ Family members themselves are crucial partners in the helping process.

□ Services and supports must be individualized.

□ Services must be unconditional: services may change, the commitment to make a workable plan will not.

□ Results must be measured.

□ Plans must consider the best mix of community and family resources as well as formal services.

□ Services should be developmentally appropriate and fit the needs of the child.

□ Planning and services must be timely and action-oriented.

□ Agency funding must be flexible to the needs of the family.
