AC21 - G4 - Hand in Hand: Partnering With Families to Advance Community Collaboration
This session will include a brief overview of the Hand in Hand Community Framework for Early Childhood Collaboration and the supporting briefs and stories, developed by the Model Convening Project. The project is a partnership comprised of four national early childhood models, including Family Connects, HealthySteps, Help Me Grow, and Nurse-Family Partnership, with leadership and facilitation from ZERO TO THREE and funding from the Pritzker's Children Initiative. One of the resources developed is a parent story that features Denise Brown, a graduate of the Nurse-Family Partnership program in Jacksonville, FL. Denise will share her experience and expertise with being a Parent Leader through her participation with many early childhood collaborative efforts. If you are among the countless communities seeking meaningful ways to include or increase parent voice in your community collaboratives, then this is the session for you.
