Lasting change requires meaningful collaboration from a diverse group of individuals and organizations, especially those who are most directly impacted by policy solutions.
Our team collaboratively engages with leaders and decision makers across sectors and across the political spectrum to advocate for policies that improve health outcomes for North Carolina’s children and families. Through policy analysis and thoughtful coalition building, our team moves the needle forward on a range of legislative priorities, including youth mental health, maternal and infant health, family economic security, and other critical issues.
Our team works hard to develop strong working relationships with state and local leaders across the health, education, early childhood, and child welfare fields. These include other advocates, clinical providers, parent groups, elected and appointed officials, and youth. These relationships allow us to work together to develop strong policy solutions and elevate them to decision-makers who have trust that these solutions serve the best interest of kids.
