“Care Management Entities (CMEs) are designed to coordinate services provided by the many State agencies that serve youth with complex behavioral health needs. By ensuring services are comprehensive but not duplicative, CMEs can improve outcomes for these youth and their families and lower costs to States. This Implementation Guide provides information about the CME design

process. We hope it will be helpful to States interested in implementing or improving CMEs for youth with complex behavioral health needs and their families. The guide may also be useful for county agencies if they are responsible for financing behavioral health or social services in the State.”
