Parent Partnerships to Support Early Child Health and Development

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is partnering with Family Voices to host a webinar on building and supporting parent partnerships with states to support programs and services for young children. This webinar is part of NASHP’s Assuring Better Child Health and Development program sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund. Participants will learn about a three-part framework for building parent partnerships, why each level of engagement is critical to efforts to improve care coordination and services for young children, and how states engaged in these initiatives can incorporate parent partnerships into their work.  Two states will describe examples of parent partnership in action.   Parent Partnership Webinar Agenda
