Much of the work done by Family Focus is data driven and most often from data
acquired from the Risk & Protective
Factors Survey,
conducted biannually in each of the area high schools.
Box Butte County Youth Service organizations have Come Together for Youth! At
a special event in Alliance, Tuesday,
April 25, many of the organizations were
represented to discuss the assets
available in our community, gaps or challenges
for the organizations and
opportunities for collaboration. Possible future action was the final topic of
conversation.
Minutes from the meeting will be posted shortly.
Box Butte Family Focus Coalition is a network of individuals, agencies and
other groups in the county working with
children, youth and families. We
believe community leadership in planning and sharing resources is necessary to
develop a sustainable plan to enhance the lives of children and families in our
community. Members realize the adoption
of this work requires a community
consensus, numerous partnerships and collaborations. We are always seeking
additional community direction and possible partnerships.
