AB 2083 System of Care

MOU Element → ICPM Leadership Behavior Crosswalk

Mapping AB 2083 System of Care governance structure to ICPM practice behaviors for ILT leaders

Prepared by Anthony Trunzo  |  IQmeetEQ — AI-Assisted Analysis

California's AB 2083 requires each county to establish a Children and Youth System of Care (CYSOC) governed by a Memorandum of Understanding with 11 elements that define the architecture of interagency collaboration. The Integrated Core Practice Model (ICPM) defines how leaders and staff actually behave within that architecture.

This crosswalk maps each MOU element to the specific ICPM leadership behaviors it activates — and poses the self-assessment questions that tell a leader whether they're practicing what the system requires.

ICPM Behavior Categories
ENGAGEMENT
Listening, transparency, strengths-based communication, and authentic relationship with youth, families, and partners.
TEAMING
Shared decision-making, cross-agency collaboration, and building trust across organizational boundaries.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Monitoring fidelity, using data transparently, owning decisions, and driving continuous improvement.
Start with the Governance and Operational tabs above to explore each MOU element and its activated ICPM behaviors. Then use the Self-Assessment tab as a personal reflection mirror — the questions are written in first person because governance is personal.
Governance Elements define who decides, who knows, and who's at the table.
Operational Elements define how the system actually functions day to day.
Cross-Cutting Element

Tribal Engagement is not a standalone MOU element — it is a cross-cutting commitment that should permeate all 11 elements. This section identifies the specific ICPM behaviors and leader self-assessment questions that apply across the entire system architecture.

Integration note: Each of the 11 MOU elements should be evaluated through the lens of tribal engagement. When reviewing governance, data sharing, placement decisions, or resource management, ask: "Have we meaningfully included our tribal partners in this element — or is engagement limited to a seat at the table?"

Leader Self-Assessment Mirror

These questions aren't a compliance checklist — they're a mirror. Read each one slowly.
Check the ones where your honest answer is yes.
