How Are Programs Working Together?

Programs took action to address the following challenges:

Stronger Referrals = Stronger Support

  • Programs are continuously improving how families are connected to other services and how they track referrals within their data systems.
  • Programs visited partner sites to strengthen collaboration and improve coordination, helping ensure families are connected to the right services through warm hand-offs. Some programs created private social media groups to keep families engaged and informed.
  • The Data and Evaluation team is working with programs to help them collect better data on referrals.

Community Presence and Participation

  • Programs shared info at events, health fairs, schools, and doctors’ offices, and improved communication with partner organizations.

Improving Outreach Strategies

  • Programs like Ascend Family Navigators set specific goals to improve how they recruit and follow up with families.
