System coordination emphasizes collaboration between agencies (e.g., mental health, education, juvenile justice) to provide comprehensive and cohesive care for children and adolescents.
Interagency collaboration is central to CASSP, where agencies communicate and coordinate efforts to ensure children receive holistic care across all systems.
In CASSP, education plays a vital role by working with mental health and other services to support children’s emotional and behavioral challenges in their learning environments.
System coordination ensures that families don’t have to deal with fragmented services but instead experience a streamlined process where agencies collaborate to address all their needs effectively.
When agencies operate independently without collaboration, it leads to fragmented services, making it harder for children and families to receive comprehensive care.
