History of FYSPRT Developed under DSHS System of Care Grant System of Care (SOC) is spectrum of Community Based Services Adhere to core principles of SOC Community Based Family and Youth Driven Culturally and Linguistically Competent Cross-system Collaboration

You still may be asking? What is FYSPRT? • FYSPRTs provide an equitable forum for families, youth, systems and communities. It strengthens sustainable resources by providing community- based approaches to address the individual behavioral health needs of children, youth, and families.
What is FYSPRT? FYSPRT creates a platform for family, youth and system partners to: • Collaborate • Listen • Incorporate the voice of the community into decision making at the state level
Structure of FYSPRT Regional: • 10 regions within the state • Have monthly meetings • Meetings are unique to each region • Bring voices from the community into one entity • Convene broad array of stakeholders • Respond to “asks” from higher level entities such as Statewide FYSPRT, relevant state agencies, and Children’s Behavioral Health Executive Leadership Team
Local: Regional FYSPRTs have the option to develop localized FYSPRTs to meet the needs of their region. In SW WA, we have developed the Youth Advocacy and Empowerment Meeting State: Meets quarterly Representation from state-level system partners, tribal partners, and Regional FYSPRT Tri-Leads. Information shared between Regional and Statewide Challenge and Solution
Tri-Leads • Each Regional FYSPRT will be tri-led by a family/family partner, youth/youth partner, and a system partner. • Tri-lead model is used to create equal partnership with family, youth, and system in providing leadership in organizing and facilitating regional meetings.
Tri-Lead Responsibilities • Be active participants and leaders in order to facilitate meetings. • Effectively engage family and youth members in topics such as five-year strategic planning and outreach. • Maintain regular contact with other system partners, family organizations, youth organizations, and/or youth leaders/facilitators of youth-led meetings and activities. • Promote System of Care values in all aspects of their work. • Identify community partners and resources for continual collaboration. • Record, summarize, and present information to the community. • Create a youth and family guided infrastructure so members feel supported and safe to share feedback in meetings or anonymously with tri-leads, to increase independence and success. • Participate in training opportunities and identify needed technical assistance and skill development opportunities for system partners, youth, and families. • Support other state initiatives related to Children’s Behavioral Health. • Share solutions identified with other regions either individually, at the statewide FYSPRT meeting or other common events.
