The Child Family Support Team Model
The CFST model improves identification and coordination of community services for children at risk for academic failure and out-of-home placement.
Responsibility and accountability is shared between community and state agencies.
Interagency collaboration is a core component for team meetings and planning.
Uniform screening tools are used to measure progress at home, school, and community.
The focus of team collaboration is the concept of one child, one team, one meeting.
