At the completion of this session, participants will be able to:

Describe a comprehensive system of care or the screening, assessment, and treatment of children affected by prenatal exposure to substances of abuse.

LIVE Q & A

Service integration relies on personal communication and relationships between professionals. But when an individual retires or moves on to a new position in their agency, that communication and coordination is lost. Systems integration is grounded in overarching policies and procedures that prevent families from falling through gaps. Through a live, interactive presentation and conversation, we will explore the development of a comprehensive, integrated system of care and examine the health, developmental, and cost implications for such a system. This session will address:

a. Types and range of public and private agencies and organizations that should be included in an integrated system.

b. Communication and linkage strategies across the system

c. Short-term and long-term cost implications
