Vision and Mission of the Core Practice Model when implemented Improve the safety, stability, well-being, and permanency
of our children, youth, and families Application of the Core Practice Model will create a process
by which communication is strength-based, culturally competent, collaborative, empowering, and goal-focused. This model will result in the use of timely, effective services in the most natural setting possible in order to achieve each child, youth, and family’s individualized goals.
Increase collaboration between the child welfare and mental health systems.

Katie A. Settlement Agreement Requires timely access to mental health services in all
California counties for children in the child welfare system.
Calls for a redesign of the interface between child welfare and mental health agencies, and identification of supports that are needed to implement the Core Practice Model -- in a sustainable manner -- across the state.

What will we accomplish through the learning collaborative? Articulate state–level priorities for implementation of
the CPM, including Intensive Care Coordination (ICC)and Intensive Home-Based Services (IHBS)
Learn from implementation, including identification of barriers and solutions that can be disseminated to the rest of the state
Share regional perspectives with the state Identify needed resources and supports for training
and implementation across the state

What will the learning collaborative accomplish, continued? Develop training and implementation tools to assist
with statewide implementation Establish a communication strategy that coordinates
statewide and county-level training & implementation Establish the collection of data to track outcomes
consistent with the vision of the implementation of the CPM

Who participates and for how long?
Regional cohorts, and the LC, lasts approximately 18 months bringing together representatives from the fields of mental health, child welfare, stakeholders from among parent, youth, community and Tribal partners, and subject matter experts.
Subject Matter Experts Provide technical assistance to help design, implement, and
track innovative solutions. Provide technical assistance in person at learning sessions
and between sessions via conference calls, email, and web interaction.

Preparation for the first Statewide Leadership Team Who Should Attend from Each County? Space is limited; counties will have an opportunity for
broader involvement of their staff in the regional learning collaborative process. Participation in this event should therefore be limited to child welfare and mental health leadership who are most familiar with your county’s plans to meet the requirements of the Katie A. Settlement Agreement.
A maximum of four (4) attendees for each of the 17 counties may attend.
17
Objectives of the first Statewide Leadership Team Learn about common themes that counties identified
as part of their Katie A. Readiness Assessments and Service Delivery Plans;
Review and provide feedback on tools that will assist you in your county implementation, and identify what additional tools would be helpful;
Engage in, and assist in, planning for the upcoming regional and statewide learning collaborative process.
