Abstract

This report looks at the first year of the Regional Care Team initiative (July 2020 to July 2021), which started as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing together youth-serving agencies, systems, organizations, and communities in each MDOC region to support individual system-involved youth and their families and to help inform broader system change. The report details the extent of collaboration involved in the design and implementation of the initiative, as well as data and recommendations.
