WV System of Care
Organizing Framework
A System of Care is, first and foremost, a set of
values and principles that provides an
organized, integrated framework for systems
reform on behalf of children, youth and families.
• It is: a different way of doing business that improves
the way we all interact with community, families and
other child-serving systems
• It is not: an agency, program, grant funding
8
Why a System of Care?
• Nationally recognized practice model for serving
children with mental, behavioral, and
intellectual/developmental disabilities and their
families.
• Reduces duplication, coordinates efforts, builds
long lasting partnerships that improves
outcomes
• Passed by Legislation: Spring 2010-SB 636
• WV Code: Chapter 49-7-34

WV System of Care
Guiding Core Values
1. Family driven and youth guided, with the strengths and
needs of the child and family determining the types
and mix of services and supports provided.
2. Community-based, with a locus of services as well as
system management resting within a supportive,
adaptive infrastructure of structures, processes and
relationships at the community level.
3. Culturally and linguistically competent, with agencies,
programs, and services that reflect the cultural, racial,
ethnic, and linguistic differences of the populations
they serve to facilitate access to and utilization of
appropriate services and supports and to eliminate
disparities in care.
