Coordinated Services Team Initiative - Family Team Meeting Vignettes

The following video series was developed as an educational tool for service coordinators, team facilitators, and family and team members who would like to see an example of the Coordinated Services Team (CST) Initiative family team process played out by an actual team. The situations acted out in each video are not meant to depict a specific team, child, or family experience, rather to model the types of activities and situations that family teams may experience. 

These videos were developed in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services - Division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, the Northeast Wisconsin Partnership for Children and Families, the University of Wisconsin Green Bay - Academic Technology Services, and White Pine Consulting Service.
