Integrated Core Practice Model

The California Integrated Core Practice Model provides practical guidance and direction to support juvenile probation, child welfare and behavioral health agencies to implement a single, integrated practice model when working with children, youth, and families. This class introduces the framework and provides guidance and direction to assist probation officers working with other service agencies on assessments, Child and Family Teams, service planning, delivery, coordination, case management and transitioning when care is completed among all those involved in working with children involved in multiple service systems.
The ICPM supports a move from working with children and their families from within a single system or agency perspective to working in a cross-system, cross-agency team environment that can address concurrent and complex youth and family needs; developing teams whose members have specialty knowledge and skill with certain types of problems, issues and resources, who can together provide a more holistic perspective toward families and their needs; and providing services that are culturally and linguistically competent, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and responsive to the strengths and underlying complexity of the needs of the youth and families being served.
Participants will:
• Appreciate the purpose of integration
• Recognize the importance of the ICPM values
• Be able to identify the ten guiding practice principles
• Be able to define the four phases of the practice model
• Strategies for engaging youth, families and providers in case planning

As a result of this workshop, participants will understand how the Integrated Core Practice Model provides improved timely and effective integrated services to youth and families.
