Youth and Family Services Center Community Referral Services The Community Referral Specialist (CRS), housed in the Regional Prevention Center, will provide information and referral assistance to Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center. The CRS will research and organize information regarding community services and programs in order to develop a database that will be easily accessible to juvenile workers.

The primary purpose of this tool is to equip Human Services professionals with information that increases the understanding of a client and their needs and to foster collaboration between departments serving the same individual or family. While the application has many features, Human Services professionals will largely benefit from four main features of the application that allow users to gather the following information: Client Information - Mutual clients they share with other human services departments and agencies Household Information – Information about clients living at the same address Referral Services Information – Referral and location information for services in Johnson, Wyandotte, and Jackson County. This includes identifying transportation and driving directions for clients and Human Services professionals making home visits. Collaboration Contacts – Contact information for other service providers so you can begin working together to meet the needs of your clients Website Address: https://ims.jocogov.org/ccp/ Complete access to CRC will require a password that can be obtained by contacting AIMS. Information relating to service providers and mapping is public information. For more information and training, please contact Karen Leisner (913) 715-7883 or [email_address]
