System of Care Virtual Office Hours

Office hours are dedicated periods of time set aside by seasoned System of Care (SOC) professionals ready to meet with individuals or small groups. These sessions provide an open, informal, space to ask questions, seek guidance, share concerns, or receive support.

Key Features of Office Hours:

  • A time for youth, families, or service providers to consult with SOC staff about services, referrals, or concerns.
  • Personalized Support: One-on-one or small group interactions tailored to specific needs or questions.
  • No Formal Agenda: Flexible time to focus on topics brought up by attendees.
  • Confidentiality: Because office hours are open to everyone, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. It is a request of the facilitators and strongly encouraged that all conversations about SOC are kept private and respectful.

Occurs the third Tuesday of every month beginning October 20, 2025 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm.
