| "Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted."
- Garrison Keillor | | Coming Together Goals for Service Delivery System Committee GOAL 1: Develop a centralized system for parent contact and referrals – highest priority if funding becomes available. GOAL 2: Advocate for ways (formal and/or informal) to track children birth – 8 years in order to justify approaches to intervention GOAL 3: Build capacity of child care community to address needs of young children. GOAL 4: Maximize community training opportunities across disciplines through TelAbility and agency trainings already planned. | | | | PROVIDER RESOURCES | Mental Health Association in NC
