How do we do this?

This countywide collaborative initiative was conceived as a way to implement the Center of Excellence philosophy in Kalamazoo County . The federal government’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has granted our community a six-year grant of $6 million dollars to make systems change and to improve the way we do business in Kalamazoo County.

What can be done?

• Partner as equals with families and youth.
• Simplify and coordinate the screening, treatment and support process across all agencies, making it easier for families to participate in services.
• Provide services that are in the language spoken by the family and that build on the strengths of the family's own culture .
• Provide training to members of the system of care.
• Implement practices that have been proven to work.
• Listen, Share and Improve!
