How will Improved Outcomes affect schools, hospitals, clinics, shelters, and other child-serving public and private organizations?
NYC Children’s Services or providers who are participating in IOC may call on other child serving organizations to participate in a Family Team Conference. Often mental health providers, doctors, guidance counselors, or other professionals have important information and perspectives on how the children and families we serve together are functioning, and we think it is important for children and families to hear directly from these providers when major decisions are made. Moreover, when all of the service providers engaged in working with children and families participate in the family team conference, it improves the coordination of services.
