The Single Coordinated Care Plan (SCCP) is a team-based, family-centered care planning process to help consumers achieve improved outcomes.  Initiated in 2000 as a key part of Milwaukee County's NEXUS: Connecting Families to Recovery program, the SCCP initially served TANF-eligible persons receiving substance abuse treatment who were also involved with one or more other service systems, such as Child Welfare, Corrections, or Wisconsin Works (W-2). It is now being used as the care planning process in the expanded Milwaukee Wiser Choice Program.

The SCCP Process involves teams consisting of the consumer, a facilitator (called a Recovery Support Coordinator in Wiser Choice) who is trained in the SCCP and the Wraparound process, representatives of the systems with which the consumer is involved, and friends, family members, or other support people for the consumer.

The following principles guide SCCP development:

• The consumer is central to the process. The SCCP focuses on the consumer's needs while simultaneously addressing the requirements and mandates of each system.

• The SCCP builds on the consumer's vision and strengths. It is designed to help the consumer meet his/her needs, as s/he defines them.

• The consumer, service systems, family, friends, and community members work together to help the consumer meet his/her needs. The SCCP should be built around available natural supports as much as possible. Support from service systems may fill in the gaps where the consumer's family, friends, neighborhoods and faith communities cannot meet consumer needs.

• Everyone on the SCCP team is accountable for doing his/her part.

• An important goal of the SCCP is to help the consumer achieve self-sufficiency in meeting life goals.
