A Forum for Families, Youth & System Partners
We Strengthen Behavioral Health Resources
What is FYSPRT?
FYSPRT is a monthly roundtable meeting between families, youth, system partners, and anyone else that wants to impact public mental health services. The objective is to engage in conversations that improve and strengthen community based behavioral health approaches for children, youth and their families.
The FYSPRT Model Is Based On A Value System Of:
Respect
Families, youth and system partners can all value from what each brings to the table.
Equity
All members have value and expertise in a particular area and all expertise is valued equally.
Reciprocity
There’s an expectation that all members will give and receive in achieving the group’s goals.
Partnership
Families, youth and system partners will work together to find solutions that work for everyone.
Why Should You Participate?
As a recipient, provider or administrator of public mental health services you have an important perspective and your voice is needed to help with real system change.
The FYSPRT Roundtables are your opportunity to be sure that your voice is heard. The family, youth, and system partner roundtables are designed for all participants to work together in equal partnership to help make systems better for families and youth.
What We Do
FYSPRTs serve as an integral part of the Children’s Behavioral Health Governance Structure that was adopted within the T.R. et al. v. Strange and Birch (originally Dreyfus and Porter) Settlement Agreement and informs and provides oversight for high-level policy-making, program planning, decision-making, and for the implementation of this agreement, including the implementation of Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe).
This Means We:
- Use the Tri Lead Model (Family, Youth, and System Reps) to ensure all voices have equal stake and authority.
- Bring individual, unique voices together to ensure the state knows our successes and where the gaps in service may be, as well as our suggestions around improvement.
