Nebraska Children Events

Please bring your ideas, your voices and your active participation to the Norfolk Area Service Array.

A Service Array is a community assessment and planning process for children and youth. To date, 34 Nebraska counties have completed Service Array assessments with the tools and process developed by the National Child Welfare Resource Center for Family Centered Practice as a Service of the Children’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Your voice, information, and engagement will be important to help generate accurate current information and future directions for the availability, quantity, quality, and importance of resources in our community for children and youth. Key areas to be discussed are:

• Basic Needs
• Healthcare Access and Health Promotion
• Child and Youth Safety and Development
• Family Development.

The Service Array process is designed to utilize and build on our existing assessments and plans. It will serve as a detailed additional resource for planning and implementing expansions, enhancements, and realignments to achieve better outcomes for shared goals.

This assessment will be facilitated by the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation as part of the Child Well Being Initiative.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided
