Each CFFC provider has five full-time
care managers and five full-time family partners. The
care managers and family partners are paired in teams
and serve approximately 10 families each.
| •
|
The care manager is a CFFC team member
who provides care management, crisis planning and
intervention, and therapeutic support. A care manager
is clinician with at least five years of experience
in providing services to children and families. |
| •
|
The family partner provides support,
advocacy, and education to families enrolled in
the CFFC program. A family partner is a parent of
a child who has or had serious emotional disturbance. |
Each CFFC program is supported by a
program director, psychiatric consultant, and administrative
assistant. |
