Story Behind the Curve
Intensive Care Coordination using the evidenced based High Fidelity Wraparound Model was developed to keep families safely together while effectively helping children with emotional and behavioral health needs thrive in their homes, schools, and communities.
Intensive Care Coordination (ICC) is a service tailored to a child’s and family needs. This program serves children who struggle with emotional, mental, developmental, behavioral, substance use, or other health challenges that also impact their home, community and school interactions. ICC builds a team around the family, to include professional supports as well as natural supports (friends, family, neighbors, etc) who will participate in the planning process to help the youth/family achieve their goals and meets their needs.
The strategy to increase participants who are stabilized involves outreach to various community organizations and populations, including Head Start, daycare facilities, along with organizations who work with immigrant populations and people who are unhoused. The goal is to identify families who need the services earlier in the process.
