Regional Collaboratives Support

 

Purpose:

From the beginning discussions about creating the Collaborative Hocoka (Circle), there was consensus regarding the need to create parallel regional structures. Each plays a critical role: regional collaboratives identify service needs and report how systems are working at the local level, while the statewide Collaborative Hocoka (Circle) sees the picture across the state and helps set statewide priorities. Collaboration across these levels supports effective cross-system collaboration at the case level, so children and families receive integrated services in day-to-day practice. Regional collaboratives are particularly important as we implement the strategic plan for the recruitment and retention of resource families, including Native families.

 

The Collaborative Hocoka (Circle) takes as one of its main responsibilities the creation and support of a child welfare collaborative in each of South Dakota’s child protection service regions.
