Family To Family

ICPM provides practical guidance and direction to support juvenile probation, child welfare and behavioral health agencies to implement a single, integrated practice model when working with children, youth, and families. The ICPM supports a move from working with children and their families from within a single system or agency perspective to working in a cross-system, cross-agency team environment that can address concurrent and complex youth and family needs.  Teams whose members have specialty knowledge and skill with certain types of problems, issues and resources, can provide a more holistic perspective toward families and their needs; and provide services that are culturally and linguistically competent, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and responsive to the strengths and underlying complexity of the needs of the youth and families being served.
