| Child
and Family Team |
 Central
to the CMO role is the Individualized Service Planning (ISP)
process that “wraps” services and social supports
around the child and family, delivered in the home or in the
communities where they live and attend school. Children and
their families are at the center of the ISP planning process,
and their needs and goals drive the development of ISP strategies.
These strategies address all aspects of family, school and community
life, beyond the treatment of mental health symptoms.
We help families find, create and develop options that will
support them while they work on solutions to their problems.
The Child and Family Team is a crucial part of this process.
The Team helps families help themselves by providing the structure
for the Team meetings and by helping put in place the Individual
Service Plan that the Team creates. This is called "Care
Management."
To support ISP goals and strategies, Hudson Partnership CMO
organizes and manages a local system of care that blends professional
or formal services with informal supports or resources, such
as faith based and civic organizations or community recreation
programs for each child. Child and family teams will explore
“what works” to meet the child and family/caregiver’s
needs and goals, and work to maintain family stability and participation
in community life. Service utilization will be driven by contribution
to desired outcomes as envisioned by the child’s family.
