Intensive Care Coordination, Youth

At the Virginia Beach Community Services Board, Intensive Care Coordination (ICC) provides the coordination of comprehensive community resources and services to children and adolescents who are at risk of entering or who are currently placed in a residential facility. ICC services are short-term services provided to those children and adolescents who would benefit from a higher level of intensity than that provided by typical case management services. Services and resources may be formal or informal and may include educational, financial, legal, vocational, medical, psychiatric, psychological, and social support opportunities. The goal of the ICC service is to maintain the youth in, or transfer the youth to, a family-based or community-based setting. For youth in a residential setting, the goal of ICC is to shorten the time needed in residential placement and decrease the need to re-enter a residential placement after returning to the community.
