Integrated Care for Child Wellness (ICCW) connects youth that are living in targeted zip codes with chronic illnesses and traumatic injuries to help coordinate health services to improve school attendance. Families and youth work with intervention specialists to establish a healthcare plan to better manage chronic illnesses and maintain stable health and school attendance. The program uses trauma-informed wraparound community-based resources and supports to coordinate the delivery of service to improve, manage, and follow-up with families and youth that are having difficulty managing their medical and behavioral conditions.
