DCF Care Coordination- Care coordination is indispensable to the effective operation of a System of Care/Community Collaborative. It is both a service to children and families and a function of a responsive system. As a service, care coordination is carried out in children’s mental health in Connecticut on three levels, which are explained below. As a service, care coordination involves direct client contact by someone who has clinical knowledge but does not function as the clinician on the case. Rather, the Care Coordinator, as an architect of the service plan along with the family, uses clinical and community systems knowledge to broker and advocate for services, and coordinates and monitors the implementation of the plan. https://portal.ct.gov/DCF/Behavioral-Health-Partnership/Care-Coordination
