 | | The Jefferson County systems of care approach will be capable of responding to child welfare outcomes, developing community capacity to meet the needs of children and families, and increasing cultural competency in the system and the community. |
 | | The approach utilized by Jefferson County will be grounded in best practices, a thorough assessment of strengths, liabilities, and opportunities in both the system and the community, and cultural profiles of the county’s cultural and ethnic minority groups. |
 | | A variety of traditional and innovative practices will be combined to meet the goals of the initiative including: case flow management changes, cultural research on the communities in Jefferson County, participatory evaluation models, cognitive mapping to assess the resources and resource accessibility of the community, and comprehensive and representative client, staff, family and community participation. |
