  7. A JOURNEY.. • Josh, a Māori male aged 13, is referred to a specialist mental health service by his GP following concerns regarding his low mood & daily marijuana use. • He is the oldest of 2 children, having a 9 year old sister Kelsy. • Josh lives with his mother &sister. His father has had no contact with the family since Josh was an infant. • Both Josh’s parents have had personal histories of substance addictions, mood problems, family estrangement & social disadvantage.

  8. A JOURNEY.. • Josh is seen for an assessment at the Youth Mental Health Service by Gill, a Pakeha Social Worker who feels Josh needs further investigation by the Psychiatrist for management of mood &substance use. • Contact with Josh is supplemented by contact with his mother &a teacher at his school. • The clinicians on the team believe that it will be important to involve Josh’s family & school in his care. • A meeting is set up at the Youth Service with all parties. Mother fails to attend. She is contacted by phone after the meeting & the outcome is shared with her..

  9. A JOURNEY.. • The clinicians continue to work with Josh attempting to involve all parties in his care through regular phone contact & further meetings at the service. • After several appointments where Josh has failed to attend & the school reports he has been truant, his mother is contacted who reports that Josh has ‘run away’. • A referral is made to CYF who eventually locate Josh & he is returned home. • Further attempts are made to re-engage Josh with the Youth service without success.

  10. A JOURNEY.. • The team contact his Social Worker at CYF &express their concern that until Josh is in a stable residence, contact with Josh is unlikely to be helpful. His file is closed.

  11. QUESTIONS.. • What do you think about this scenario? • Are there things that could have been done differently?

  16. SYSTEM OF CARE CORE VALUES • Family Driven &Youth Guided • Strengths & needs of child &family determine type M& mix of services &supports provided • Community Based • Supportive, adaptive infrastructure of structure, processes &relationships at the community level • Culturally &Linguistically Competent  Agencies, programs &services reflect cultural population, to aid access &utilisation of appropriate services

  17. SYSTEM OF CARE GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Access to a Broad Array of Effective Services • Traditional, non-traditional, formal &informal, natural • Each Child & Family is Different • Plans reflect uniqueness of each family • Services & Supports Least restrictive, most typical & developmentally appropriate

  18. SYSTEM OF CARE GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Youth & Families are Full Partners • Planning &delivery of services, policies &procedure that govern care in their community, state, territory, tribe & nation • Cross-System Collaboration • Linkages among child-serving systems for management, service coordination & integrated management of service delivery & costs • Provide Care Management  Services are coordinated, families can move through system as needed

  21. SYSTEM OF CARE GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Services do not Discriminate • Be responsive &sensitive to differences of race, religion, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, physical disability, socio economic status, geography, language, immigration status & other characteristics Keeping these principles in mind, let’s look at development

  22. SYSTEM OF CARE DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM • Underpins National Delivery of Child Mental Health • Newly developed services expected to adhere to principles • Use the System of Care Philosophy as a Guide  Not a model to be replicated  Arrays of services will depend on community  Consider particular needs, goals, priorities, populations

  23. SYSTEM OF CARE DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM • Adapt Approach Based on Changes • Political, administrative, fiscal, community context & data • Each community Creates Individual Process  plan, implement & evaluate

  24. SYSTEM OF CARE EACH PROGRAMME IS UNIQUE & DIFFERENT • One Program is Particularly Successful • Wraparound Milwaukee—Bruce Kamradt • 2009 Innovations in American Government Award, Harvard University’s Ash Institute

  25. SYSTEM OF CARE EACH PROGRAMME IS UNIQUE & DIFFERENT • Share the Knowledge, Spread Wealth  Educate State, communities &sectors  SAMHSA partnered with Georgetown University’s National Technical Assistance Centre for Children’s Mental Health  Developed a training package based on the success of WA  In September 2011, piloted the training with representatives from 7 states &3 countries

  26. WRAPAROUND MILWAUKEE QUICK HISTORY • Situation • Bruce Kamradt &colleagues aware of same kids cycling through child welfare, juvenile justice, MH • Each service was funded individually • Services were limited & fragmented • System reacted to crises • Removing kids was usual, lots of out of home care • Government was offering SOC grants  First pilot—25 Kid Project (17 out of 25 kids home in 90)

  27. Wraparound Milwaukee SYSTEM OF CARE IN ACTION!! • Care Management Entity • Responsible for day to day management of system of care  Can be done by any agency

  28. Wraparound Milwaukee • Ten Functions of CME • Assessment &enrolment of youth in CME • Mobile Crisis Services (can contract it out) • Care coordination (can contract it out) • Operation of Provider Network (array of services) • Fiscal management—(child welfare, juvenile justice, health) 6. Quality assurance, quality improvement 7. Information technology (built their own system) • Create mechanisms for family advocacy • Clinical &medical oversight • Training, staff development, public relations (developed their own curriculum) How does Wraparound Work?

  29. Wraparound Milwaukee FOUR PHASES OF WRAPAROUND

  30. Wraparound Milwaukee • PHASE 1: • PREPARATION/ • ENGAGEMENT & WELCOMING • Set the Tone for Collaborative Teamwork • Orient the family to the process • Begin initial crisis & safety planning • Listen & learn the family’s story • Explore strengths, needs, culture & vision • Identify & engage team & orient them to process • Arrange the first Child & Family Team Meeting • Create agenda for first meeting

  33. Wraparound Milwaukee • PHASE 4: • Plan Completion & Transition • Family Defines ‘Good Enough’ Transition to Informal & Natural Supports • Plans are made for transition out of formal Wraparound • Process & plan is modified to reflect ‘unwrapping’ • Team celebrates successes & work is documented • Transition portfolio is completed including • Important contacts • Past records • Follow-up plan for family

  34. Wraparound Milwaukee VALUES • One Family has One Plan • Build on strengths to meet needs • Families run their own plan • Best fit with culture &preferences • Community-based responsiveness • Increase parent choice &family independence • Care for children in context of families • Plans fail, families don’t • Hold people accountable • Unconditional approach • Never Give Up!

  35. Wraparound Milwaukee SERVICE STRUCTURES • Reflect Need, Rather than What is Funded • One electronic record, accessible to each service • Notes on time • Crisis teams have access to info after hours via computer • Contract people in, look for innovative people, not only clinicians • Each family gets 14 hours of direct service per month • Services purchased on fee for service basis • Consumers choose their own providers • Care coordination • Family advocacy

  36. Wraparound Milwaukee OUTCOMES • Does it Work, Can They Prove It? • Fewer kids in institutions or inpatient • Shorter stay when they do go in • 500 days of inpatient care compared to 5000 • 3,700 per month per child, compared to 8-9000 • School attendance increases • Academic achievement increases Is it as good as it sounds?

  37. Wraparound Milwaukee Miscellaneous Things that Stood Out • Care in context of family • If no family, then work on building a family • Family &youth partnerships—voice, choice &ownership • Care coordinators are key • 50% of plan should be informal services • Family advocacy is paramount

  40. Wraparound Milwaukee CHALLENGES • Fairly Familiar • Drivers for NZ development of services • We know that children & families are central • Always working on improving the services we provide • Recognise that we are stronger when we work together

  41. The Concept of Technical Assistance Technical Assistance is the support offered to the System of Care to enable competence &confidence when partnering with infants, children &young people& their families/whanau, with mental health &/or AOD concerns
