• Embrace a spirit of learning and understanding
  Participants in our initiative wish to learn about each other’s systems to create a foundation of understanding, learning, and trust-building required for systems change

• Aim to share responsibility and align resources
  Participants in our initiative seek mutual understanding, align resources, and share responsibility for managing cases, ensuring appropriate placements, and protecting youths’ physical and emotional wellbeing.
