guiding principles

Families are equal partners in
decisions that affect them and share responsibility for outcomes.

Families and youth are given accurate, understandable information necessary to set goals and to make choices.

Families and youth are encouraged to collectively use their skills and
knowledge to affect changes in the
system of care.

Families and youth involved with FSOEC engage in activities to reduce isolation, stigma, barriers and discrimination and to strengthen the family voice.

core services

• Support

Our culturally competent staff works with
families to identify their strengths and build
on them to address their needs and goals.
We assist families at critical times such as
when a child is entering a hospital, appearr
ing in court, meeting with school personnel
and service providers or child-study team.

• Educate

We inform parents/caregivers of their rights,
responsibilities and resources that may be
available to assist them to reach their family
goals. Monthly educational sessions are
also offered on a variety of relevant
topics.

• Advocate

FSOEC staff advocate on behalf of the family's
needs and works to ensure that the needs,
rights and preferences of families are heard
and honored. We also advocate for change
in government policy and in the various
systems that serve children with special
emotional and behavioral health needs.
