Coordinated Services Team (CST)

CST is a family centered, community-based initiative that aids with the development of a coordinated system of care for youth with behavioral health needs. CST is a team process, giving parents voice, access, and ownership to what happens in their family. CST focuses on team building using the wrap around philosophy. It offers a family the means to address their concerns while maintaining their voice in the process of planning.

CST Initiatives are for youth who are involved in multiple systems of care such as mental health, substance abuse, child welfare, youth justice, special education, or developmental disabilities. Youth must be under 21 and a resident of Burnett County.

This would also include youth who:

• Have a severe emotional disorder

• Are at risk of placement outside of the home

• Are in an institution, however, would be able to return to a community placement or their homes if services were provided

• Used when other interventions have not been successful

• Willingness to be involved in the CST process
