PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATION

Description for Our Service

Collaborating and partnering with community agencies is very important while a client is receiving services. This approach has the ability to provide more positive measurable outcomes and prevent tunnel vision. Collaboration and partnership also create an environment where perspectives can be shared and widened, and allows for continuity of care for clients and their families.

Partnerships & Collaboration

With the reduction in the use of Juvenile Correction Centers, (JCC) it is even more imperative that collaboration and partnerships are take place. We understand that involvement in the juvenile justice system cannot only weigh heavily on a client and his or her family but also may contribute to a significant impact to the family. The National Alliance of Mental Illness reported that, “More formal interagency commitment and collaboration are needed to plan integrated, comprehensive service delivery systems for juvenile offenders with mental illness.” They further report that, “With effective and evidence-based treatment and supports, children and youth with serious mental illness can experience success in the home, school and community.” -www.namivirginia.org

And to the extent we resign ourselves to treatment in a vacuum, we neglect the person’s treatment, as collaboration is essential, not elective. We each naturally and necessarily engage in our work with people from different angles. Blake Griffin Edwards, MSMFT, LMFT, GoodTherapy.org Topic Expert Contributor, March 10, 2016,
