About
Goals
Goals address four areas of need:
Leadership: Address inconsistent and weak leadership across the NE TN and rural TN through a stronger network of family and organizational leaders with management capacity that reflects the culture, traditions, and beliefs of the target population.
Partnership/collaboration: Align with the need for enhanced opportunities and stronger partnerships and collaboration within and across the system with policy makers and service providers.
Stigma reduction: Focus on the stigma and superstitions from culture, traditions, and beliefs encountered by rural TN families and their children and will facilitate more inclusive approaches to service delivery and family support.
Access: Address the need for navigation skills for families to ensure they can access necessary services across the system of care and make informed decisions on behalf of their children and youth through improved access and support.
