The state of Louisiana is undertaking the development of a statewide coordinated system of care (CSoC) for Louisiana's at risk children and youth with significant behavioral health challenges or co-occurring disorders. The CSoC project is an initiative of Governor Jindal and is being led by executives of the Office of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Children & Family Services, the Department of Health and Hospitals, and the Department of Education. The CSoC is an evidence-based approach that is part of a national movement to develop family driven and youth-guided care, keep children at home, in school, and out of the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
