I am an RN and coordinate a Family Support program. The program identifies, tracks and monitors "at-risk" children and their families. This program is supported by our community hospital. The team consists of a Medical Director, a behaviorist, 2 RN's, 1 LSW and a half-time clerical worker. Our target population is birth to age 18yrs. or upon graduation of high school. It is a free service. We link families with community agencies, work collaboratively with the agencies and schools, and provide other services,ie: parenting classes, home visits, education and more. We are situated in a Family Medicine residency program. For more information you can contact me via e-mail. Thank you, Carol

I am director of the Center for Public Policy at The Union Institute (a University, not a trade union organization). The Center conducts applied research, with the primary focus on the role nonprofits can play in promoting democracy and social justice and meeting human needs. Prior to joining the Center in June of 1998, I worked with legal services groups and related advocacy organizations and taught at the University of California, Santa Cruz, while conducting graduate studies in political and economic sociology. For what it's worth, I think the Community Tool Box is a great resource for folks working on social justice, etc., issues. Thanks.
