The Morgan County Interagency Oversight Group, (IOG), is a Collaborative Management Program funded by the state of Colorado. It was established in Morgan County in 2008 as a way to support youth and families who are working with multiple agencies or at risk for working with multiple agencies and who are at risk for truancy, drug and alcohol abuse, behavior issues, mental health issues and more.

The Family Support Partner (FSP) position is designed to provide intensive levels of direct support for families. This position is a distinctly different job than the High-Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) facilitator, but they work closely with the facilitator to support positive outcomes for the family. Family support partners add value to HFW for several reasons. First, as someone who has experienced similar challenges, they can engage families at a deeper level than people without this experience. Second, they provide direct support to implement the theory of change. The FSP might be able to work deeply to help the family identify and engage some natural supports in the process as it moves forward. FSPs also help the family navigate uncomfortable environments.
