This past year we also implemented our school based early support prevention model.
3:09:17
This new model aims to provide families with meaningful and effective support while avoiding unnecessary child protective investigations by more easily connecting families in need to services and resources.
3:09:29
The school based early support programs aim to address stressors, academic, academic or behavioral, that may impact the child's well-being, help meet families' concrete needs, and strengthen social connections and engagement with the school community.

All of which reduce the likelihood of future child welfare involvement.
3:09:44
Each of the provider agencies offering these programs has identified at least three partner elementary and or middle schools in their district and must maintain a presence in each school.
3:09:54
Providers are also required to collaboratively co design at least four school based offerings per year that reflect the needs and priorities of the school community.
