KIDSNET GLYNN


​
​Federal research suggests that youth who are at risk of out of community placement, better maintain their emotional disturbances and have better long term results when they receive community based services.
​
​KidsNet Glynn is a family-driven, youth-guided and community supportive approach to serving youth, and their families, with emotional and/or behavioral disturbances in their own community. This approach is called a “system of care”, which is where community partners and families join together to provide services.
​
​ Local representatives from education, mental health, law enforcement, juvenile court, and other community providers make up the KidsNet Committee. When children are referred to the KidsNet Program, they are scheduled for a Bio-Psychosocial Assessment with a Licensed Professional Counselor. At that time a recommendation is made and the child and family are referred for services such as Behavior Management, Case Management, Parent Education, Substance Abuse Counseling, Individual Therapy, and Family Therapy. The majority of the kids staffed with KidsNet are between the ages of 8 and 14, and have been formally charged in the Juvenile Court. Our goal is to move from a formal complaint process to a KidsNet referral process. 
​
​The goal of KidsNet is to create a community care plan for each child that provides support services to the child and family, which includes mental health and community support services.  These cases are commonly referred to as CHINS cases or Court Diversion cases.
