Coordinated Services Plan-Act 264 Process

Under Act 264, a partnership consisting of mental health, education, DCF/FS professionals and family members come together to develop a Coordinated Services Plan for a student experiencing significant mental health problems at school, at home and in the community. A Coordinated Services Plan provides support services delivered by various agencies and providers to meet the needs of your child. Parents and family members are a vital part of this process.

Vermont Family Network provides information and guidance about the CSP process. Cases that cannot be resolved at the ACT 264 partnership level may be referred to the Local Interagency Team (LIT) and, at their discretion, to the State Interagency Team (SIT). Parents may request a parent representative to attend meetings with them by checking the box at the bottom of page 2 on the CSP consent form. If you would like to contact the LIT parent representative in your area, please call the Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health at 802-244-1955 or visit www.vffcmh.org.
