Stoneleigh Fellow Shay Bilchik and Emerging Leader Fellow Meg Ogle have co-authored a report on Delaware County’s Multi System Integration Pilot Program, which was created in 2021 to demonstrate how to better serve the needs of youth involved in multiple systems of care.
The Multi System Integration Pilot Program (MSI) was created in 2021 to demonstrate how to better serve the needs of youth involved in multiple systems of care child welfare, juvenile justice, behavioral health and education. The MSI was designed to build upon the implementation of previous, more narrowly focused efforts to serve youth that were dually involved in child welfare and juvenile justice systems or youth who had entered the behavioral health system and also had involvement in other systems of care. It sought to accomplish this by bringing all four of these systems together as equal partners operating in a collaborative manner, one with equal buy-in and commitment to the effort.
