These services are well managed and utilize a variety of community professionals on their advisory boards and client staffing teams. Our community needs a comprehensive, community -wide system for children and their families which integrates the services available in order to minimize duplication of service, confusion for families and the possibility that children may fall out of care. The Birth to 6 Planning Project monies will provide our community with the support necessary to begin community -wide planning for this comprehensive system. Application Criteria 1. There is a long history of interagency efforts in Whatcom County which have resulted in new services, new agencies, and coordination among agencies to plan for care for children. The Coalition for Child Advocacy and the Teenage Pregnancy and Parenting Program were developed as a result of professionals and parents identifying a need, organizing, planning and developing programs. Agencies are often represented on each others advisory boards and staffing meetings. This process facilitates communication and joint planning. A list of current interagency efforts in which the Health Department participates follows: -Child Protective Team - Family Support Team - Review Team; Coalition for Child Advocacy -Head Start Advisory Committee -Head Start Selection Committee - Neuromuscular Program Advisory Board - Neuromuscular Program Staffing -Iligh Priority Infant Tracking Advisory Board -Teen Parent Program Advisory Board -Teen Parent Program Staffing - Western Center for Early Learning Advisory Board - Coalition for Child Advocacy Board - Parents Anonymous Board of Directors -BVTI Parent Education Advisory Board - Interfaith Coalition Board (Medical care for low income children) - Northwest Youth Services Board -71--2 2. The outstanding attendance and participation at the first two Birth to 6 meetings demonstrates our community's interest and need for this project.
