“…By using strengths-based, child-centered, family-driven, individualized, and culturally competent care, SOC programs are designed to integrate and coordinate social services and resources in order to improve the behavioral and social functioning (i.e., behavior problems and functional impairment) of participating youths (Davis-Brown et al, 2012; Stroul & Blau, 2010). Moreover, in recent studies these strengths-based approaches for delivery of mental health services, such as SOC, have yielded moderately improved outcomes for children and adolescents (i.e., youths) compared to traditional mental health programs (Anderson, Wright, Kelley, & Kooreman, 2008; Copp, Bordnick, Traylor, & Thyer, 2007; Grimes et al, 2011; Manteuffel, Stephens, & Santiago, 2002; Stambaugh et al, 2007; Walrath, Ybarra, & Holden, 2006; Wright, Russell, Anderson, Kooreman, & Wright, 2006).…”
