Voices for Children of San Antonio  Child Abuse and Neglect  Prevention Interest Group Meeting.
Child Welfare and Social Service Providers, two child serving systems very often serve the same high risk families as Head Start and Early Head Start.   As a 50 year old, federal program designed to support the poorest young children and their families, Head Start provides comprehensive early education, assessments, screening and family services.  These two systems working together can maximize strategies to identify,  prevent and intervene with stressed families to protect our youngest children.   This interest group meeting will provide a review of eligibility and services and offer opportunities to collaborate. 


(NO CEUs will be offered at this meeting. This meeting is intended for the child-advocacy community wishing to connect, convene and collaborate on efforts that can improve the quality of life for San Antonio/Bexar County Children.)
