Project Vision
We believe that the severity and complexity of impact that substance use disorders are having
on children and families in our community is significant and requires a coordinated continuum of care
and services that include promotion, prevention, treatment and recovery.

Convene monthly Community of Practice Meetings to break down silos and work together to develop and move forward with annual strategies and action steps.
Goal 2 - Parenting Groups
Promote community based parent and caregiver support programs that align with the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework.
Goal 3 - Child Care Connections
Connect families to Child Care Resource (CCR) and promote their role as regional child care navigators.
Goal 4 - Trainings
Develop training opportunities for family based professionals to come together to build family-centered and multi-generational systems of support.
Goal 5 - Family Engagement
Work across settings, to capture the true needs of caretakers and children, and ensure that the family voice is at the center of informing our work.
