Work to serve children and families requires the support of formal and informal networks to create solutions that outlast agency intervention. In ground breaking work to address homelessness in Florida, I worked as a support to an organization that sought to bring over thirty partners to the table to provide a full array of community support for families struggling to improve their lives and find not only housing, but self-sufficiency and independence. This example of community engagement can be a great basis for other organizations and initiatives where engaging community partners expands available resources.
Multiple Approaches for Lasting Results
In my work, I assist with multiple approaches, including:
- Developing training
- Strategic planning processes
- Community engagement retreats
- Leadership facilitation
