Families First Health and Support Center at the Community Campus: Developing and Sustaining Collaboration
Families First Health and Support Center at the Community Campus:
Developing and Sustaining Collaboration
Families First Health and Support Center successfully co-locates and collaborates with eight other social service agencies since the creation of the Community Campus by the Foundation for Seacoast Health in November 1999. This approach of providing seamless services benefits thousands of individuals and families, as well as agency staff. To better serve the Greater Seacoast community, Families First, a community health, dental, and family support center, as well as a mobile program for the homeless, works with Head Start; the Community Child Care Center; the Portsmouth Early Education Program for preschoolers with disabilities; the New Heights teen center; Info Link, which is phone and Web information and referral; Stepping Stones for adults with a brain injury; and the Child Advocacy Center for children who are victims of sexual abuse.
Two ten-minute videos describe for visitors the Community Campus and Families First. A panel of representatives from the nine agencies plans to share their collaboration experiences, followed by a tour of the Community Campus.
