Intervening in the Community

Nesivos role in community is to stimulate, coordinate, and monitor service delivery so that youth do not fall through the cracks. We help youth/families develop and effectively utilize their own internal problem solving and coping resources, and to facilitate ongoing interactions between resource systems to enable those system to work together more effectively. Another goal is to establish linkages between youth/families and resource systems, and between resource systems themselves to make them accessible to each other.
