Description:
Bringing everyone together has helped us to better understand and address the most pressing concerns of communities and partners. This disciplined approach to collaboration allows us to extend much-needed locally based support and to make effective use of existing resources and services.
We also connect creative solutions to expand, improve, and cultivate new efforts that work to eliminate service gaps. So, at our core, we advocate for system changes that eliminate the barriers and inefficiencies standing in the way of progress and positive outcomes.
A strong social infrastructure coupled with evaluating our progress is the best way to enable measurably better outcomes. Collaboration and collective effort yield collective impact. Any issue we’ve addressed, every action we’ve supported, all the success we’ve helped to achieve have been a shared effort.
Celebrating 30 years of service, the work of BCHS is focused on: 1) the implementation of programs identified as “best practices” or scientifically research based; 2) making improvements in areas of child and family well-being through the exposure of services, linking resources and the brokerage of existing community programs; 3) leveraging local, state and federal funds to support our community driven plans; and 4) the implementation of a community based decision-making process by collaborative member
