CLIENT CORNER! During meetings with Jake* and his great-grandmother, Jake’s primary caregiver, the Family-Based Mental Health team at Familylinks observed significant conflict. Jake also refused to attend school. Unfortunately, Jake’s great-grandmother passed away, and other family members could only care for him on a short-term basis. The Family-Based Mental Health team contacted CYF, and CYF identified an appropriate foster placement. Jake transitioned successfully into the foster home, and the team requested a meeting with staff at his new school to develop a plan to get him back into school. The team also connected Jake with a Supports Coordinator to assist with long-term needs. When the Familylinks team closed, Jake was thriving, attending school, participating in treatment, and developing a positive relationship with his foster family. * Names and images do not represent actual clients of Familylinks.
