Addressing the multiple meanings of service integration, Human
Services Integration analyzes how motivations and expectations for
social service integration differ significantly among different
players in the service system. In a period of major budget cutbacks
and welfare reform, however, it is important that service providers
collaborate to reduce or eliminate boundaries between categorically
defined and provided services. This book tells you about the
efforts being made to provide existing services more efficiently
while avoiding duplication and waste. As you will quickly see,
developing consensus for service integration efforts at the
administrative, community, and staff levels will result in the
ability to set achievable goals and objectives and secure
cooperation at all levels.Human Services Integration covers
practice principles for managing organizational and community
change and offers strategies for organizing human service agencies
and overcoming fragmented service integration in communities with
complex problems and needs. To also help you identify specific
service intergration activities that are relevant in the context of
unique communities, it discusses: specifications for conducting a
self-assessment of progress at the local level toward social
service integration goals Georgia's Family Connection, a statewide
human services initiative interweaving formal and informal systems
of care in a community-centered approach to service integration a
children's initiative collaborative social science theory pertinent
to service integration gathering support from elected officials
such as boards of supervisors, city leaders, and local elected
boardsHuman Services Integration will help you understand why
service integration cannot be defined by a particular service model
or outcome. Its insight will also help you understand why involving
service users and community members in the design and delivery of
services is fundamental to developing an integrated service system
that is culturally competent, empowering, and responsive to its
neighborhood and community context.
