Transitions -  System of Care

Hopewell Center is a core partner in the Transitions System of Care. Transitions is designed to provide care, specifically to children within the foster care system who have serious emotional disturbances (SED). The aim is to ensure that these children and their families are supported through life transitions of their childhood, and grow into successfully functioning adults.  

This “system of care” helps children and their families build supportive networks and constructive relationships and breaks down the barriers between programs, between departments and between the public and private sector and builds “wrap around” system of care that works with a team of service providers to share resources. http://www.transitionsstl.org
