Webinar: Strengthening Statewide Early Childhood Systems: The Roles of Title V, ECCS, and MIECHV
June 6 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The goals of the Title V Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, the Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS) Health Integration Prenatal-to-Three program, and Maternal Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program are closely aligned: all are focused on supporting the health and wellbeing of parents and young children, and on developing a coordinated and equitable system of care, especially for families that have been systematically excluded. In recent years, a growing number of recipients of these awards are working together to better serve families. Examples include bringing together cross-agency partners for projects like coordinated referral systems, and initiatives to increase newborn screenings.
In this webinar, experts from the Early Childhood Systems TA and Coordination Center (ECS TACC), the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP), and the MIECHV Technical Assistance Resource Center (TARC) will explore opportunities for building statewide systems, underscoring the value that each partner brings to the table. Participants will hear from two states where partnership efforts are underway.
Audience: MIECHV, Title V, and ECCS awardees. MIECHV awardees are encouraged to share this webinar invite with Title V and ECCS leads within their state/territory (where applicable).
Learning Objectives. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Define the goals of Title V, ECCS, and MIECHV programs
- Describe examples of common statewide systems
- Identify common challenges experienced when developing statewide systems
