ZFive Recommendations: Addressing the social-emotional needs of children 0-5 with a substantiated finding of abuse or neglect or in need of services in Mecklenburg County

Description:

The ZFive working group (ZFive) has developed a set of recommendations for how Mecklenburg County can best identify and address the social and emotional health needs of children 0-5 with a substantiated finding of abuse or neglect or in need of services. This charge stems from the request from Grayce Crockett, Director of Mecklenburg County Area Mental Health and Paul Risk, Director of Mecklenburg County Youth and Family Services (YFS) for a practical model for early identification and intervention for this very vulnerable group of young children.
