Interagency Director's Team (IDT)
The IDT was created by Georgia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) in order to design, manage, facilitate, and implement an integrated approach to a child and adolescent system of care that informs policy and practice, and shares resources and funding. IDT is made up of over 20 representatives from state agencies and non-governmental organizations that serve children with behavioral health needs. The group transitioned from the Children and Adolescent State Infrastructure Grant (CASIG) Interagency Workgroup to the IDT in 2011.
Mission Statement: The IDT’s mission is to be a multi-agency leadership collaborative that uniquely designs, manages, facilitates, and implements an integrated approach to a child and adolescent system of care that informs policy and practice and shares resources and funding.
The IDT aims to:
- Better child and adolescent behavioral health in Georgia
- Design, manage, facilitate, and implement an integrated approach
- Use System of Care model
- Inform policy and practice
- Integrate resources/funding
