The Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative

Respecting culture, recognizing each family’s strengths, and providing the right services at the right time

The Coordinated Children’s Services Initiative of New York City (CCSI-NYC) works with families, youth, government agencies, and community providers to improve care for young people and families across service systems. CCSI-NYC also works to identify solutions for families being served by more than one agency, and increase family and youth involvement in service planning and policy development.

The Initiative’s services include the Borough Based Councils, where family members and child, youth and family service providers identify local solutions and share information, resources and concerns about child, youth and family services.

The Citywide Oversight Committee works to find solutions to issues that have not been resolved at a borough level, and assures that family and youth concerns are represented in efforts to improve the system of care in NYC.

Who Is It For
Families, youth, government agencies, and community providers who receive and/or provide mental health services to adolescents and young adults and are interested in creating change.
