• Least restrictive continuum of residential and non-residential interventions that are humane, therapeutic, and developmental.
• Fully Integrated Treatment Approach and Comprehensive Wraparound services across agencies and systems
• Youth and family-driven services (e.g. group approach, youth centered transition planning)

A Broader Vision
Moving from Programs to Systems
• Mobilization of natural helping networks and social capital (e.g. agency services comprise no more than 50% of plan)
• Comprehensive engagement and layers of support for youth and families (e.g. resource centers, multi-family groups, opportunities to volunteer and reciprocate, health/wellness, emergency assistance)
