What Does IC3 Look Like?
IC3 is a solutions-driven plan that is unique to each family and matches the goals they have set based on specific needs. IC3 requires the child’s parent or guardian to lead a chosen team of either additional family members, family friends, or CSBMG-recommended community members. This team will create and abide by a unified plan for the safety and benefit of the child.
Your team will rely on a strengths-based, family-driven approach for the child that focuses on:
- Developing self-sufficiency
- Building natural supports
- Increasing the family’s ability to seek care and respond to crises
All IC3 families receive a Care Coordinator and a Certified Peer Specialist Parent (CPS-P) who each work toward the family’s vision for a healthy and successful life together.
