Building Systems of Care: A Primer (2nd Ed.)

This comprehensive primer serves as a strategic roadmap for building effective systems of care for children, youth, and families involved in multiple service systems. The document also provides detailed guidance on both the structural elements required for systems of care and the essential processes needed for successful system building. A second edition of the primer was developed eight years after the first, in an effort to capture the sense of growth, new technologies, and expanded applications of the system of care concept during that time.
