The Washington County Community Partnership for Children & Families (WCCP) is a State of Maryland Local Management Board (LMB) Initiative. Local Management Boards in each jurisdiction promote an interagency, collaborative approach to serving children that involve all stakeholders, parents and families in the process. This collaborative effort ensures a more effective system of care for youth and families across a continuum of services from prevention to intervention to aftercare. Local Management Boards represent no single perspective but, rather, convene a community's public and private partners to address the needs of the "whole child" through collaboration, coordination, community and capacity-building. Fundamentally, LMBs bring communities together to better serve children and their families. Local Management Boards not only focus on services for children with intensive needs but focus on services for all children in their jurisdictions. Local Management Boards do not provide direct service instead, they work through partnerships with local and regional providers to maximize and leverage resources for positive results for children in every jurisdiction in Maryland.

Placement Services is designed to provide systematic early screening and assessment of youth who come to the attention of the Department. This system is designed to address certain important objectives:
Page | 59 WOMEN OF VALOR MINISTRIES COMMUNITY RESOURCE GUIDE
· Protecting public safety; · Holding youth accountable for their behaviors; · Identifying the health, family, and educational needs of each youth; and · Developing a service plan that will provide for the youth in the least restrictive environment. Whether youth are first time offenders committing relatively minor misdemeanor offenses, repeat offenders with serious felony charges, or children who have not committed a crime but who are exhibiting uncontrollable behavior, all are referred to case managers within the Community Justice Division for appropriate assessment, intervention, and assistance. Upon referral by law enforcement or other governmental agencies, parents or concerned citizens, youth are screened by case managers designated in the juvenile law as "intake officers" to determine what course of action is appropriate in each case. The intake officer may forward a case to the State's Attorney's Office recommending formal court action, place the youth on voluntary informal supervision for up to 90 days, close the case with a warning, or disapprove a case for insufficient evidence. Informal supervision may entail referral to another agency or individual for specialized counseling, coordinating payment of restitution for damages to victims, directing community service and/or providing appropriate supervision of the youth as needed. To facilitate such services to Maryland's children, the State has been divided into five geographical "areas." Maryland law places youth between the ages of 7 and 21 under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court. However, youth between 14 and 18 years of age comprise the majority served. Young people whose cases go to court and who are adjudicated delinquent may be placed on probation under the supervision of a probation case manager. If necessary, they may be placed outside of the home in a variety of specialized settings to meet their needs. When this occurs, emphasis on returning them to their own homes are an important component of Departmental philosophy and practice. Aftercare services are also an important part of reintegrating youth into their families and the community. Case managers in the areas of intake, probation and aftercare perform a variety of tasks including but not limited to: · Screening police and citizen complaints · Assessing client actions, needs and prior history · Developing appropriate action plans for treatment, behavior modification or services · Counseling and supervision · Evaluating youths' progress and making recommendations to juvenile court · Coordinating additional social, educational or mental health services · Placing youth in community service programs · Identifying employment and recreational opportunities In addition to case managers, a variety of specialized staff provide counseling, diagnostic and volunteer services.

CINS Case Management services provide family support, advocacy and linkage to community based services. Services require strong collaborations with other community organizations in order to assist youth and families in exploring and accessing community-based interventions as an alternative to entering the juvenile justice system. In addition, the program provides parent and teen educational/support groups, led by a trained facilitator. Service goals for these groups

Programs: The Cumberland Valley Breast Care Alliance is a faith based, non-profit ministry which was founded in November 1997. Our objective is to make the community aware of what is available in the areas of breast education, mammography accessibility, and support groups. The Breast Care Alliance mission is as follows: * To provide education to women of all ages, races, and socioeconomic levels. This includes preventive health measures, current information on breast cancer, and professional instruction of the MammaCare® technique of breast self-exam. * To provide women, particularly the underserved and underinsured, information about programs for low or no cost mammograms, location of facilities, and transportation if needed. * To increase public awareness of a disease that has taken too many lives of our loved ones, and to step up the fight against breast cancer. * To assist the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition with public advocacy and legislation to improve medical care for breast cancer patients. Also, to support fund-raisers and projects on a local level. * To provide local residents with information on the various support groups available to patients and their families. * To provide spiritual support for breast cancer patients and their families.
MammaGift Project
The MammaGift Project is a very unique program which was created and is managed by the Cumberland Valley Breast Care Alliance. This program enables uninsured women to obtain mammograms. There are still many women in our own community that are not getting these potentially lifesaving tests. If this is because of financial reasons such as no insurance coverage or low income, there is help! If you are one of those women or you know someone else that needs assistance, simply make a call. This call could save a life. Remember, we are here to offer quality education, public awareness, and support systems for patients and their loved ones. We are not qualified to do clinical exams, diagnose, or recommend treatment.
