‍We asked providers how the Community Care Hub model has helped them and summarized those learnings. The paper shares what hubs make possible, what Full Circle is learning from implementation, and why infrastructure is essential to advancing health equity goals.

Nested Integral sees their work as investing in the workforce that will deliver services for years to come. The organization now offers undergraduate internships specifically recruiting from programs like Project Rebound (formerly incarcerated students) and Guardian Scholars (former foster youth).

Here we spotlight two of the more than 100 FCHN providers operating statewide who also are pioneering how to integrate Enhanced Care Management (ECM) into their multitude of programs to better service children, youth and families.

‍Full Circle spent the past year building a theory of change while helping dozens of community-based providers deliver ECM to thousands of children, youth and families.. Our new white paper, Enhanced Care Management: A Theory of Change for Children, Youth, and Families, lays out a logic model framework grounded in child development principles, trauma-informed practice, and the lived realities of the communities we serve.

To support youth and the social workers who help them make these important decisions, Full Circle has created several new resources that summarize Medi-Cal enrollment options and offered structured guides for how to make the best choice based on individual, unique circumstances. The materials were developed in collaboration with young people who received stipends for reviewing and giving their feedback on the materials.

Through our collaborative partnership model and suite of administrative services, we increase linkages to supportive services for vulnerable children and families. We enable streamlined connection between community-based organizations and health plans. The result is better access to higher quality services that lead to meaningful improvements and the health and wellbeing for California’s most vulnerable residents.‍

Full Circle wrote a white paper to summarize the barriers we see to increasing enrollment and to make specific recommendations for actions that would lead to more children and families accessing these important services.

‍To help social workers imagine how ECM can support the children and families they are working to reunify or create permanency plans for, Full Circle Health Network created a series of case studies. There are different case studies for different scenarios in child welfare.
