Cayuga County to expand srvcs for youth with behavioral health challenges and their families - Cayuga County is dedicated to the continued building of a System of Care intended to ensure that all children with emotional, behavioral and mental health needs can grow to their full otential while living in their own homes and community. We intend to do so within a common culture of care that promotes safety, empowerment, choice, collaboration and trustworthiness for all its partners. Our proposal includes expanding services so that every child gets the help they need without obstacles; to improve our ability to identify early the needs of children who may be at risk of developing serious emotional disturbances and ensure they receive the supports they need; to improve accessibility and treatment coordination for children with significant behavioral health needs and to fully engage at all levels, parents, caregivers and youth as partners in the System of Care. Our population of focus includes children in both rural and urban areas of the county with a diagnosable emotional, socio-emotional, behavioral or mental disorder. This includes children from birth through age 21 in families in which there is risk of or identified abuse and/or neglect; and/or youth who currently are involved with more than one service-providing agency or are demonstrating significant difficulty in school, home or the community. We intend to serve 250-300 youth each year.
