Children's Behavioral Health Services:
Systems of Care Governance
• The Washington State System of Care (SOC) grant funded (SAMHSA, Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration) project expands systems of care statewide
with family-driven, youth-guided core values fully integrated in all parts of the SOC
Governance Structure: the Statewide Family, Youth and System Partners Round Table -
FYSPRT.
• The FYSPRT Governance structure has been adopted as the infrastructure for Children's
Behavioral Health and is comprised of ten regional FYSPRTs, the statewide FYSPRT, and
the FYSPRT Leadership team.
• Each FYSPRT reviews and approves policy, program and practice changes at the local,
regional or state levels.
• Our SOC prioritizes expanding services to youth ages 13-18 with serious emotional
disturbances - SED, out-of-home placement, or juvenile justice/child welfare histories.
System of Care Values
• Infuse these SOC values in all child-serving systems:
• Family driven and youth guided, with the strengths and needs of the youth
and family determining the types and mix of services and supports that best
fit their needs.
• Community based, with services and the management of those services
resting within a supportive framework at the community level.
• Culturally and linguistically competent, with programs and services that
reflect the culture and language of the population served.
• Ensure access to services based on each youth and their family’s unique
needs and eliminate gaps in services.

System of Care Goals
• Infuse SOC values in all child-serving systems.
• Expand and sustain effective leadership roles for families, youth, and
system partners.
• Establish an appropriate array of services and resources statewide,
including home and community-based services.
• Develop and strengthen a workforce that will operationalize SOC values.
• Build a strong data management system to inform decision-making and
track outcomes.
• Develop sustainable financing and align funding to ensure services are
seamless for children, youth, and families.
SOC Oversight & Reports
• Oversight: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services & Governing bodies
outlined in the T.R. Settlement Agreement (inc. FYSPRT)
• Behavioral Health Certification and Licensing for Community Mental Health
Agencies (CBOs) through the Department of Health
• Reports will be developed through a collaborative effort between DBHR
and RDA and include both programmatic and administrative data. The
Children's Behavioral Health System of Care Data Quality Team,
comprised of representatives of DSHS child serving systems, is developing
Measures of Statewide Performance to provide a monitoring and
evaluation framework for the System of Care. This outcomes-based report
is intended to be relevant to all children and youth with emotional and
behavioral health needs and their families served by DSHS and HCA.
