System of Care Values and Principles

How does the history of CBHI and System of Care values impact work with youth and families today?

The new System of Care training explores both the foundation of these values and how they come to life in interactions with families.

System of Care Part 1


Join Emily Sherwood as she shares the history of the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI) and introduces the core values that guide the System of Care approach.

System of Care Part 2


In a conversation with two CBHI practitioners, Lavagn Claudio and Kelsey Tam, Emily explores what these values look like when supporting families. Through real-world examples and reflections, you'll hear how family-centered, strengths-based, and culturally responsive practices can shape meaningful partnerships with youth and families.


What you'll learn:


  • The System of Care (SOC) values and principles
  • How CBHI services began based on SOC values and principles
  • Practical examples of values in everyday practice

System of Care is more than a framework. It's an approach that recognizes the strengths of children, youth, and families and values partnership, collaboration, and individualized support.


Whether you're new to CBHI or looking to deepen your understanding, this module offers valuable insights that can be applied across a variety of roles.
