Mission & Vision

Family Voices Network of Erie County is apart of the local system of care for children and youth experiencing serious emotional, social and/or behavioral challenges. The mission is to provide comprehensive, coordinated, individualized, culturally-competent and cost effective community-based services that support children, youth and their families in order to maintain them in their homes, schools and communities.

• Services are planned and delivered with a family driven, strength-based focus using the wraparound process which creates a collaboration between the children or youth, their families and a team they select, called the Child Family Team (CFT).
• Transition planning provided through the wraparound process identifies and links community and natural support partners providing for a natural support system for the family, which sustains the youth at home.

MISSION: Family Voices Network will provide individualized, integrated, comprehensive, culturally competent and cost-effective community based services that support and promote self-sufficiency of children and families experiencing serious emotional and/or behavioral challenges.

VISION: Erie County will have a family-driven, youth guided; strength based integrated system of care that responds with appropriate coordinated services and effective partnering to support self-sufficiency. Services will be timely, flexible, individualized and reduce the need for out-of-home placement as well as shortening the length of stay when there is the need for placement.
