The Stoneleigh Foundation and Georgetown University’s Center for Juvenile Justice Reform are pleased to invite you to Part II of our virtual convening series on Improving Outcomes for Youth Involved in Multiple Systems of Care. This webinar will feature an update on the groundbreaking Multi-Systems Integration Pilot Program in Pennsylvania’s Delaware and Erie counties and a conversation with cross-system leaders and Stoneleigh Emerging Leader Fellow Dr. Meghan Ogle on the program’s successes and challenges.
Systems of care have historically struggled to work in a collaborative and effective manner to meet the complex needs of youth who are involved in multiple public systems, such as child welfare, youth justice, behavioral health, and education. In Pennsylvania, an innovative new program has been launched to strengthen these efforts.
The Multi-Systems Integration Pilot Program, currently operating in Delaware and Erie counties, draws upon the lessons and best practices of two national-model initiatives: the Pennsylvania Care Partnership, a service delivery approach that builds partnerships to create a broad, integrated process for meeting families' needs, and the Crossover Youth Practice Model, an organizational approach designed to support youth who are fluctuating between the child welfare and youth justice systems.
This webinar, the second in a three-part series, will demonstrate the value of a multi-systems approach, including greater coordination and collaboration among systems, improved information sharing, and the use of youth- and family-centered teams in case practice. The webinar will provide pre-pilot and baseline data related to youth in the child welfare, youth justice, behavioral health, and education systems.
