This workshop explores how coordinated, wrap-around support systems can strengthen outcomes for families facing complex social, economic, and educational challenges. Participants will examine how schools, nonprofits, healthcare providers, and government agencies can work collaboratively to reduce service fragmentation and ensure families receive timely, holistic support. The session will highlight practical models for cross-agency communication, referral pathways, and shared accountability, while clarifying how federal, state, and local government programs can be leveraged effectively. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies for building partnerships, aligning services around family needs, and navigating public benefits to promote long-term stability, resilience, and well-being for children and caregivers.
