Our Vision Children with Severe
Emotional Disorders (SED) and their families in Aurora have the
resources they need for their children in a wide range of
environments.
1. Mental Health services are integrated into a wide range of
environments.
- Childcare providers have education and
resources and access to mental health services for children
to support their culturally competent social emotional
development.
- Primary Care Physicians/Nurse Practitioners will use screening
tools and referral sources for children with SED.
- The community will have sustainable funding for mental health
services and support for families with limited resources.
- Community programs, home visitation and family programs will
have mental health resources, education, and support for young
children.
- Services and supports are accessible and are culturally and
linguistically competent.
2. Families are equal partners in a supportive and
collaborative service delivery process called Wrap Around.
- Community will use effective and respectful
communication protocols to share information with families and
across agencies for the care of the child and family.
- Community will use effective protocols and funding to ensure
young children with SED transition successfully into public school
from Early Care and Education environments.
- Community will use formal and informal agreements to support
collaboration and accountability.
