Subp. 2.
Family community support services to children and their families;
scope.
Minnesota Statutes, section
245.487,
subdivision 3, requires the commissioner to create and ensure a comprehensive
and coordinated set of mental health and other necessary services for children.
Minnesota Statutes, section
245.4873,
requires coordination of the development and delivery of mental health services
for children to occur on the state and local levels and, in subdivision 3,
requires coordination of the local system of care for children. Family
community support services, a component of the local system of care, are
children's community-based mental health services that are to be provided by a
county board, directly or under contract, to a child who resides in the county
and the child's family as part of Minnesota's children's mental health service
system. Family community support services are designed to provide within the
community the kind of support that historically has more commonly been provided
to children in residential treatment. Minnesota Statutes, section
245.4873,
subdivision 4, requires the child's case manager designated by the local agency
to develop the child's family community support plan in a manner that reflects
coordination among the local service system providers serving the child.
Family community support services must be provided in a
manner that is consistent with the core values set forth by the Child
