Our Children Succeed Initiative is a comprehensive strategy of the 44 member Northwest Council of Collaboratives (www.councilofcollaboratives.org) in six very rural counties in the northwestern corner of Minnesota. The Initiative brings our System of Care to full scale, extending an emerging network of core services focusing on the early childhood population, youth in placement and young adults in transition to adulthood. A six county affiliation, the Northwest Council of Collaboratives joins the Collaboratives together in a unified strategy to increase capacity, improve quality and integrate services. When the system has developed to full scale: 1) the network will have matured to better serve children and families and deliver intended outcomes; 2) service capacity will have expanded to address 200 more families per year in all communities; 3) parents will be included as equal partners; 4) youth will be involved in designing services, and in shaping their transitions to adulthood; 5) minority families will be better served with earlier interventions, no longer over- represented among children in out-of-home placement and/or having dropped out of school.
