Service Coordination for Youth with Multiple Problems

 
While most agencies in Hamilton County provide adequate service coordination for youth who can benefit from traditional services, some youth require more intensive, individualized services and a more formalized Service Coordination mechanism. The Inter System Service Collaboration Committee (ISCC) is the entry gate for line staff and families to the more intensive service coordination and individualized services needed by those multi-system youth and their families who are the target population for this Service Coordination Plan.

The Inter System Service Collaboration Committee (ISCC) is comprised of representatives from the following agencies: Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services, Hamilton County Juvenile Court, Hamilton County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, Hamilton County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, Legal Aid Society of Greater Cincinnati, Hamilton County Educational Service Center and Cincinnati Public Schools. These representatives meet regularly for the purpose of case consultation, service planning, information sharing and inter system collaboration. Staff or families who are seeking direction and guidance in locating or obtaining services or a more complex package of services/service plan that cannot be accessed in more traditional ways or who have not been able to overcome obstacles within the service systems may refer a case to this committee for staffing. 

Access to ISCC Committee

Referrals to the ISCC can be made directly by contacting the ISCC central phone number, which is 513-946-8668. The ISCC member who takes the call will typically refer the case to the committee member from the system most closely involved or most likely to be connected with the case. The Committee member will review case information and determine the appropriateness of bringing the case to the committee. If it is not appropriate, the committee member will provide alternative suggestions or direction for the provider or family. If the case is staffed at the ISCC, one Committee member will take the lead and will be responsible for documenting decisions and recommendations that will be shared with the referring individual or the family in follow-up.

To access the ISCC Committee for help with Service Coordination, please call 513-946-8668.
