Contact UsThe Professional Partner Program (PPP) utilizes a high fidelity wraparound approach to coordinate services and supports for families who have children/adolescents with a severe emotional disturbance, and to ensure that families have a voice, ownership, and access to a comprehensive, individualized support plan. PPP serves youth in all 11 counties of the Panhandle: Banner, Box Butte, Cheyenne, Dawes, Deuel, Garden, Kimball, Morrill, Scotts Bluff, Sheridan, and Sioux.
The purpose of the Professional Partner Program is to assist families who have a child who has, or may have, a mental health or substance abuse diagnosis. PPP is a partnership between the family and the Professional Partner, where the parents are equal partners in all aspects of planning and care. The program promotes the least intrusive, least restrictive, and developmentally appropriate interventions in accordance with the needs identified by the family and within the most normalized environment.
The Professional Partner works jointly with families to ensure appropriate assessment to develop a Plan of Care (POC). The Professional Partner assists in accessing services and supports to address the needs identified and to monitor implementation of the plan in any setting that provides the greatest access for the youth and family.
Family Centered Practice is a process of empowerment. It is a plan developed by an individualized community team of people who know the family best. Family Centered Practice means that the family has access and ownership of the plan. The Professional Partner works with the family in securing traditional and non-traditional care.
The Consumer Advisory Coalition empowers individuals with lived experience to have a meaningful voice in the planning and delivery of behavioral health services. Through advocacy, education, and peer support, the coalition helps ensure that services meet the real needs of our community.
