System of Care

The Berrien County Collaborative was one of the ten Community Strategy Grant Programs from the Governor’s
Office for Children and Families approved for funding! This program will assist in develop of the MED (School-Based Health Clinic) by providing specialized case management services. The MED was started a little over one year ago and through a lot of planning and development will start the pilot this fall at the Berrien Elementary School. The Human Services Specialist funded through the System of Care grant will manage the care needed for approximately 200 at-risk children at our elmentary school. Our hope will be to expand this program system-wide with a clinic and specialist in each school by 2012.
