AFTER DESCRIBING THE PROBLEMS EXISTING IN AND BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SERVICE SYSTEMS FOR NEGLECTED AND ABUSED CHILDREN, THIS DOCUMENT BRIEFLY OUTLINES THE ROLE OF MAPS IN COORDINATING AND IMPROVING THESE SERVICES.
Abstract
THE SERVICE SYSTEM FOR NEGLECTED AND ABUSED CHILDREN HAS EXPERIENCED SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN COORDINATING SERVICES, FINDING ADEQUATE RESOURCES, AND PROVIDING ADEQUATE SERVICE. THE MAPS PROJECT WAS DESIGNED AS A DEMONOSTRATION MODEL FOR COORDINATED SERVICE DELIVERY TO ABUSED AND/OR NEGLECTED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. IT IS INTENDED TO INTEGRATE THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SERVICE AGENTS, AND THE PROFESSIONALS FROM VARIOUS DISCIPLINES. THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF MAPS IN PROVIDING THIS COORDINATION ARE LISTED, AND THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE MAPS STAFF ARE BRIEFLY OUTLINED.
