Community Resource Guide

2018

Improving the quality of life and social-emotional well-being of children birth to 21 and families in the community.

Dakota County Connections believes that strengthening our community requires all of us to work together. This includes: • Identifying community strengths and needs • Actively coordinating and sharing lessons learned • Defining common outcomes • Aligning individual community needs and resources to meet those outcomes • Seeking additional resources to help reach our goals • Using evaluation and community data to strengthen our programs • Maintaining open communication with our partners and the community

Dakota County Connections does not provide programs, it serves to provide a common table for community partners to gather around and collectively address community needs. We support organizations and individuals to provide programs that are directed toward our common outcomes.

For more information about the collaborative or our monthly meetings, visit our website at www.dakotacountyconnections.com or contact JoAnn Gieselman, Dakota County Connections Program Coordinator at (712) 222-6383 (office) or (712) 223-9614 (cell).

Boys Town Nebraska/Iowa 600 4th St, Suite 901, Sioux City, IA 51101 (712) 258-6523 boystown.org Boys Town is a national organization dedicated to helping children and their families. Boys Town developed its Integrated Continuum of Care as part of an ambitious, on-going effort to expand the life- changing care we provide to children and families across the United States. The Continuum is unique to Boys Town and enables us to deliver the right care at the right time to troubled children and families who are edging toward crisis. Across the Continuum’s service levels and in all programs, treatment is consistently effective because it’s based on the research-proven Boys Town ModelⓇ. As children and families make progress (or fail to make progress) at one level, they can move to other levels that better fit their needs, without starting over in their care and all within the same care model. Services toward the top of the Continuum provide more intensive care and interventions to children with serious emotional or behavioral problems. Children receive these services outside of their home, so reunification with their families, whenever possible, is always the ultimate goal. Services toward the base of the Continuum focus on helping families stay together, preventing children from being removed from their homes, and assisting parents by providing training, counseling, and other resources. That’s why Boys Town is developing its Integrated Continuum of Care at its sites across the country to help reform the nation’s fragmented and overburdened child and family care system. Existing services and programs at each Boys Town location provide the foundation for building and spreading the Continuum.
