Throughout the first three months of this year, we came together in small groups for talk story sessions around each of the 8 themes. What an amazing journey it has been!

Mahalo to the wonderful people who were able to join a discussion group. The unique perspective each participant brought will allow the outcomes of this process to be both impactful and rooted in local experience.

Participants came from state departments, county offices, nonprofit organizations, from leadership roles, to direct service providers, to lived expertise, to data collectors and policy makers; from the fields of home visiting, early intervention, early learning, law, health, social work and advocacy.

By bringing together insight from different roles, disciplines, and locations helps us to better understand causes and effects that each of these themes has on the systems. After each group, we developed loops and shared them back with participants for feedback and deepening. Let us know if you would like to learn more about the groups or the content collected!
