An agreed upon and unified rate system that all counties in our region are utilizing
Clear communication about service providers and CBOs in the region (agreeing to use/not use as needed)
Collaborating re: the youth and families in the region and sharing resources and information.
Definition #2:
A unified (CW, MH, PR) inter-county protocol agreement that outlines the responsibilities of each county when a child is placed out of the host county’s jurisdiction.
Targeted development of regional service providers for CSEC youth and STRTP (high end youth).

Bay Area network or clearinghouse of Resource Family pre service training options
