What is Complex Care?

The term refers to circumstances where youth have significant, unmet needs across multiple domains—often persisting for extended periods—due to gaps in services from systems like behavioral health, child welfare, probation, and education. These youth require intensive, individualized treatment options that integrate services and address their unique challenges. By adopting a collaborative, multi-system approach, we can provide comprehensive support and create meaningful, lasting improvements in their lives.
