Community Care Development Project (CCDP) 
The Community Care Development Project (formerly the Community Care Demonstration Project) seeks to improve the mental health, education, and overall health and well-being of Oregon’s students and families. This video contains a description of the project's first year and includes interviews with District Administrators and Community Care Specialists & Coordinators, and the Project Director. 


The Community Care Development Project (CCDP) improves the mental health, education, and overall health and
well-being of Oregon’s youth and families through robust partnerships with local systems of care, including youth and family serving community-based organizations. 

Building on partnerships with local systems of care, linguistically and culturally responsive school-based Community Care staff provide emotional support and system navigation to youth and their families, and identify and respond to community health and mental health needs via innovative, locally-driven strategies.

Students and their family members at the four CCDP school districts (Hillsboro, Lake County, Phoenix-Talent, and South Lane) are all eligible to access Community Care services and supports.​​
​

Anyone within the school community can access services and supports via either self-referral, or through a school staff member or administrator recommendation.

The CCDP is currently available in four districts. We are working to develop regional models that leverage existing systems of care (SOCs) across the state. Additional braided and blended funding streams will be needed to support this regional expansion.​
