Abstract

This report (March 2023) provides an update of the second year (July 2021 to July 2022) of the Regional Care Team initiative, 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 cross-system collaboration that continues as a part of this initiative, examines data on youth referrals and funding, and makes recommendations.
