Systems of Care
South Dakota communities have a wealth of resources designed for the well-being and success of our youth, but with varying requirements it can be challenging to effectively navigate them all. In response Lewis & Clark Behavioral Health Services utilizes a Systems of Care – Care Coordinator to collaborate with schools and families, facilitating access to tailored resources and support for youth, with the aim of enhancing each student’s path to success by addressing their unique challenges, aspirations, and goals through personalized action plans.
Your well-being is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way, no matter your financial situation.
Understanding the Roles of Your Care Coordinator
