CCSI (Coordinated Children’s Service Initiative) is an innovative approach to working with families who need the help of a variety of service systems.

It began as a state wide multi-system initiative designed to enable counties to provide services more effectively to families who had children with severe emotional, mental, or behavioral disorders. CCSI brings families and the principal service providers in the community together to create a coordinated service plan, using multiple systems.

By coordinating services, families are supported in staying together and children are maintained in their communities.
