AMCHP Blueprint for Change Webinars

In partnership with the Maternal & Child Health Bureau (MCHB), AMCHP hosted a two-part webinar series on the Blueprint for Change.

The Blueprint for Change is a national framework for a system of services for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) where they enjoy a full life and thrive in their community from childhood through adulthood. Families of CYSHCN reported that the current system of services is not working for their children. According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, 85% of CYSHCN still do not receive services via a well-functioning system.

In partnership with families, healthcare professionals, and other experts in the field, MCHB developed a framework to advance the vision that CYSHCN:

• Enjoy a full life, from childhood through adulthood
• Thrive in systems that:
  • Support their families and their social, health, and emotional needs
  • Ensure dignity, autonomy, independence, and active participation in their communities

During this two-part webinar series, sponsored by the AMCHP Family Leadership, Education, and Development (LEAD) Committee, you will receive an overview of the Blueprint for Change and hear the family perspective from those who participated in the development of the framework.
