Family Care Team
When a family needs more intensive supports, a Family Support Specialist schedules an initial conversation with the parent/guardian to discuss needs and opportunities. This Family Support Specialist will be the family's main contact. After completing a youth and family psycho-social screening, the Family Support Specialist will support the family with appointment setting, care coordination/organization, and resilience coaching.
The Family Support Specialist will also work with the parent/guardian to develop their Care Team. Each Care Team is tailored to the needs of the family and may include: a Family Coach (peer to peer), other RCCMHC staff with specialty backgrounds, School, County, mental health and/or other family service and basic needs providers. The Care Team works together to support whole family wellbeing. See example
