The Healthy Families/Thriving Communities Collaborative Council brings
together leaders to create and sustain a citywide network that empowers
families and communities to improve their quality of life.
“Scale of Change: Creating and Sustaining Collaborative Child Welfare
Reform Across Cities and States,” published by the Center for the Study of
Social Policy, describes new collaborative methods by several child
welfare agencies across the U.S. – including the Healthy Families/Thriving
Communities Collaboratives – to work with parents accused of child abuse
or neglect and with those who are simply in need of help.
