(1) The system for providing behavioral healthcare services to children, youth, and their families should ensure that those services are appropriate, cost-effective, and provided in the least restrictive settings;
(2) Behavioral health and other services identified in § 20-47-502(10) are provided to children and youth by various departments, agencies, and providers at both the state and local level, often without appropriate or effective collaboration;
(3) Providing effective services for children with the most severe needs requires many areas of expertise and shared responsibility among the aforementioned departments, agencies, and providers; and
(4) The system of behavioral health care should be built upon the foundation established by the Child and Adolescent Service System Program principles identified in § 20-47-503. The guiding principles for establishing the system of care should be:
