Well Family System's Intake Process into a Collaborative SystemGoBeyondMCH
The document describes the Well Family System (WFS), which aims to create a coordinated system of care for families. WFS takes several factors into consideration for collaborative action, such as common intake processes and family support plans shared across programs. The system guides participants through an intake path to identify needs and initiate a plan of care. It also allows multiple agencies to view a participant's services and family connections to reduce service duplication. WFS can be customized for a community's specific programs and initiatives to track data and create reports demonstrating return on investment.
The document discusses how information sharing through electronic records can help improve outcomes for children in foster care. It notes that foster children face unique challenges including trauma, frequent placement changes, and higher rates of special needs that require coordinated care. However, states and localities also face high medical costs for this population. The document advocates for cross-sector information sharing between agencies through tools like a Health Education Passport to better coordinate services and improve outcomes while lowering costs. Examples from other areas that have implemented similar systems show improved access to care and reduced psychiatric hospitalizations.

An integrated early childhood data system is needed to evaluate programs, improve outcomes for at-risk children, and inform policy decisions.
Strengthening Families and ECCS (1.9.09)k.stepleton
This document discusses efforts to strengthen families and connect them to early childhood comprehensive systems (ECCS). It describes how Strengthening Families began as a search for a new approach to child abuse prevention that is universally available and focused on protective factors like parental resilience and social connections. The research identified programs that build these factors. Implementation includes training, action planning, funding, and professional development to support protective factors and quality early care. Strengthening Families networks in 26 states and can contribute to ECCS by defining family support and bringing partners together around common goals like child abuse prevention.
Presentation to the LA County Commission for Children and Families - 6.3.13Angela M. Vázquez
1) Approximately 12.8% (1,509) of children under age 5 in the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) caseload attended public early childhood education programs in 2011.
2) Children known to child welfare agencies face numerous risk factors for developmental delays and poor academic and life outcomes without access to high-quality early education programs.
3) Coordinating policies and practices between child welfare, early childhood education, and other social services can help address risks, promote child well-being, and achieve safety and permanency goals for at-risk children.

This document provides information about fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). It defines FASD as effects that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy, including physical, mental, behavioral and learning disabilities. It discusses the prevalence of different conditions within FASD. It also outlines the four main syndromes within FASD and their diagnostic criteria. Additionally, it discusses factors that influence the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure and historical research on FASD.
This document provides information about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) including:
1) There is no known safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy, as even low to moderate drinking can cause FASD. The effects of prenatal alcohol exposure cannot be predicted and depend on multiple genetic and environmental factors.
2) Contrary to common beliefs, those most at risk for having children with FASD are not young single women or alcoholics, but rather white, educated women over 30 from middle to upper classes.
3) While some facial features can indicate prenatal alcohol exposure, this is not always the case, and facial effects decrease with age. FASD is mostly invisible.
4)
This document discusses fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and strategies for prevention. It notes that preventing alcohol exposure during pregnancy is important but challenging due to misconceptions about occasional drinking being safe. Adults with FASD often have conditions like attachment disorder and cognitive impairments. Screening caregivers and a person-centered approach are recommended when working with those affected by FASD. The document also lists tools and programs that are available to support prevention efforts and substance-using women with FASD.
This document discusses adaptive challenges and the importance of adaptive learning skills for collective impact efforts to successfully address complex social problems. It defines adaptive challenges as problems where there are no clear solutions and learning is required. Collective impact aims to guide communities through adaptive learning processes to solve adaptive challenges. However, many collective impact efforts fail because they lack certain adaptive learning skills. The document identifies three key adaptive learning skills needed: systems thinking to identify high leverage intervention points, conversational capacity for open dialogue across boundaries, and improvisational or "yes to the mess" learning to adapt solutions along the way. Developing these skills can help communities learn faster and work together to effectively address adaptive challenges.
This document provides tips and exercises for managing one's time effectively to avoid feeling overwhelmed or underutilized. It includes:
1. An activity to create a pie chart showing how one currently spends their time and identify any imbalances.
2. An exercise to envision an ideal time allocation and compare it to the current pie chart to find areas for improvement.
3. Suggestions for small, measurable steps to make positive changes, such as using "Hav-ta, Gonna, Wanna" lists to prioritize tasks.
The document discusses working with fathers in South Carolina and outlines 7 types of poverty. It provides information on fatherhood programs in South Carolina that address the root causes of poverty. The programs aim to meet needs, gain trust, and keep fathers engaged using a formula of beneficial, relational, encouraging, active, and directional programming. Additional resources are also listed.
This document discusses strategies for promoting mental health and wellness in adolescents through mindfulness and positive psychology. It provides statistics showing that depression and anxiety are common among teens. Positive psychology focuses on building individual strengths rather than remedying weaknesses. Mindfulness techniques like breathing exercises and being present-focused can help teens manage stress and negative thoughts. Practicing gratitude, kindness, and savoring good experiences can increase well-being and resilience.
This document discusses racial equity and inclusion. It defines racial equity as a process and outcome where race is not a determining factor in one's opportunities and everyone has what they need to thrive. Racial equity is achieved when those most impacted by inequity are meaningfully involved in decision-making. The document advocates starting the process of achieving racial equity through openness, reflection, empathy, and sharing one's own stories to build understanding and make deeper connections with others.
Bryan Fox discusses cultivating a mindset of resiliency. He discusses how having a mindset that we are all separate can cause burnout, but that a growth mindset focused on progress can help build resiliency. He recommends strategies like focusing on positive experiences through "What Went Well", mindfulness meditation to live in the present, shifting to a growth mindset, and building connection through kind acts to boost posiliity.
This document provides an overview of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) data from South Carolina. It discusses the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) as the data source for ACEs in SC. Some key findings include: 62% of SC residents report experiencing at least one ACE, with 14% experiencing 4 or more. There are associations between higher ACE scores and increased risk of health problems, mental illness, and risky behaviors. The data also show strong interrelationships between different types of ACEs - for example, those experiencing physical abuse were much more likely to also experience other forms of abuse and household dysfunction. The document demonstrates how ACE data can be applied to help various community efforts
This document summarizes a presentation about cultural humility, racial equity, and protective factors in parenting. It discusses how parenting is influenced by culture and context. While parenting is key to child outcomes, there is no single parenting standard - parenting must be understood within a cultural context. The presentation emphasizes developing cultural humility, which involves lifelong learning, self-reflection, and recognizing power imbalances. It also discusses implicit bias and structural racism as key constructs to understand differences in perceptions of racial injustice.
This document summarizes the hero's journey framework and how it can be applied to communities seeking social change. It describes a fellowship in Kitsap County, Washington that used collective impact principles to address adverse childhood experiences and build community philanthropy. Key events discussed include developing a theory of change, implementing a collaborative learning academy for non-profits, and efforts to integrate an understanding of ACEs into all aspects of the community through resilience-building. The story highlights the challenges of paradigm shifts and culture change required for long-term success in complex social issues.
This document outlines an innovative planning framework for building collective impact to prevent child maltreatment. Key elements include establishing shared outcomes and indicators across agencies, identifying promising new strategies, and assisting communities to tailor plans to local strengths and needs. Input from a statewide parent survey and focus groups found that parents want accessible, nonjudgmental support for their diverse needs from basic resources to parenting skills. The framework aims to strengthen collaboration, align current investments, engage new partners, and encourage communities to creatively address unique challenges through a flexible yet integrated approach.
This document provides an overview of data collected on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in South Carolina. Some key points:
- 62% of South Carolinians reported experiencing at least one ACE, with 22% experiencing 2 or more and 16% experiencing 4 or more.
- Experiencing ACEs is associated with increased risk of physical and mental health problems in adulthood like heart disease, diabetes, depression, and poorer overall health.
- ACEs are also linked to higher rates of behavioral risks in adulthood like smoking, binge drinking, and not wearing a seatbelt.
- Those with ACEs were more likely to face barriers to healthcare access as adults such as

This document discusses strategies for engaging Latino families and communities. It provides an overview of the organization PASOs, which works to improve health outcomes for Latinos in South Carolina. PASOs offers community education, helps families access resources, partners with other organizations, and trains promotoras (community health workers). The document then addresses specific questions about engaging Latinos, such as how to get them involved in advisory boards, hire bilingual staff, find local Latino networks, and form partnerships. The key recommendations are to work with PASOs for help with cultural competence, find the right people who can build trust, make programs accessible, and recognize that authentic engagement requires sustained time and effort.
This document discusses reflective practice and its importance for professionals working with young children and families. It defines reflective practice as a process of slowing down to thoughtfully observe situations, listen to others' perspectives, and learn from experiences before responding. The "Look, Listen, Learn" model is presented as a framework for reflective practice, involving careful observation, active listening, and using open-ended questions to understand a situation more fully before deciding how to respond. Examples are provided to illustrate how to incorporate reflection into daily work through mindfulness, self-awareness, questioning, acknowledging what is going well, and considering multiple perspectives on next steps.

Community in a broader sense.
Roles: fiscal agents – who controls the money: governance structure – coordinator’s role, who supervises the coordinator, how does that work when they are responsive to the council; how does the state BBAC relate to local councils; can they impose requirements; how do the local councils ask for BBAC to work on issues

The system should change to support the interventions and meet the needs.
Thank you, Dianna and Debbie for sharing about the important front end work that must be done to ensure that the changes you make will be sustained over time.

ECCS grant started as planning grants. Does not mean that there were not already planning efforts and strategies implemented to improve EC. There were, and they were making progress, but typically it was within the silo of their EC domain. SC planning organized around a Leadership Planning Team, and 4 groups shaped by the ECCS key components. Like many states, SC combined the Parenting and Family Support components because of there strong overlap in services and mission,
What kind of group is helpful while looking at building a better system?
The SC ECCS Leadership team is a great connecting point – like the center of the ECCS flower – for thinking, planning, learning, sharing around the aspects of our early childhood system.
Representatives come from these areas – core as well as open to others to come and go – depending on the structure of each meeting. Children’s Trust (MIECHV) has been a long standing member and hosted the planning group for Parenting and Familiy Support for over two years. These planning meetings started our discussions around forming a cross sector early childhood professional development system.
Many ideas are crafted for multiple years of discussion and experimentation. With the MIECHV grant came the funding that could support the infrastructure building. Will turn this over to Eric
1:15 Pacific / 2:15 Mountain / 3:15 Central / 4:15 Eastern (10 minutes)Many thanks to all of our presenters. Your experiences are illuminating and help put wheels on the integration of home visiting systems with early childhood comprehensive systems.Throughout the webinar questions have been posted to chat and the Question and Answer box. We have a little time to address some of those questions and perhaps some new questions you’d like to post now. If we are unable to get to some of the questions, we will follow up with you…or you may follow-up with any of the presenters. Contact information for each of the presenters will be on the final slide.
1:25 Pacific / 2:25 Mountain / 3:25 Central / 4:25 Eastern (5 minutes)Before we end, we’d like to leave you with some examples of concrete steps state leaders can take to facilitate the integration of these systems…on behalf and in support of our children and their families.As our colleagues Eric and Rosemary, from South Carolina, demonstrated that it is important to be intentional about building and cultivating personal relationships with collaborators and prospective collaborators. Our colleague Sheryl, from Maine, emphasized the need to find and show how the home visiting program actually contributes to the whole system of early care and education in several concrete ways. And our colleagues from Montana suggest that a critical step is to seek out leadership in related arenas and garner their understanding and commitment to the integration of home visiting systems with early childhood comprehensive systems.
Take a moment to scan these goals and note to yourself how each of them have been met by the webinar. You may also want to jot down where you need to follow-up to enhance your learning from today.
Our presenters who have generously given of their time to share their stories with us are also making themselves available to us as we continue to work on integrating these systems. We’d like to thank each of you Dianna, Debora, Sheryl, Rosemary and Eric for sharing your experiences with us, and Dena for representing HRSA and sharing background on this topic. As a reminder, participants will be sent a copy of the PowerPoint slides in the near future via email.
