SYSTEM OF CARE EXPANSION PLANNING TEAM (SOC EPT) - In its project System of Care Expansion Planning Team (SOC EPT) Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services-Children and Family Services (DHHS-C&FS), using a collaborative approach, will bring together a dedicated group of government and community partners to plan the expansion of services to the County's children, youth and families who have serious emotional disturbance needs and substance use disorders. The goal of the project is to create a SOC EPT that will work together to identify solutions for expanding holistic service availability, using the resources that each entity brings to the table. Measurable objectives are to recruit members from all levels of local governmental agencies who serve youth; recruit clients/consumers to serve on the Team; perform a "gap analysis" of community needs for services that would benefit local children, youth and families; engage in discussions with underserved populations to identify their service delivery needs; develop systems of information sharing between all partners on the SOC EPT; and develop policies and agreements with local agencies for expansion of services to children, youth and families with serious emotional disturbance needs and substance use disorders.
