When and where to refer youth for specialty care:

Children and youth involved in the child welfare system or living with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED) often require intensive, coordinated, and trauma-informed care. SilverSummit is committed to expanding these services and partnering with the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) and community providers like you to improve continuity of care for these youth.

Our health plan provides coordinated support through:

  • Dedicated care coordination
  • Access to wraparound and intensive behavioral health services
  • Family and peer support services to help caregivers navigate complex systems
  • Help coordinating with DCFS and child serving systems
  • Assistance with referrals to trauma-informed providers and programs
