NCDSS Grantee Meeting
Day 2, March 17, 10:00 - 11:00 AM
NCDSS will host a mandatory grantee meeting for all Community Response Programs, Family Support Programs, Respite Programs and Intensive Family Preservation Services Regions. Each agency is required to send at least one representative from each contract or IFPS region.
This interactive meeting will ground NC’s family strengthening and support programs within the context of the unprecedented change and uncertainty we are experiencing. Participants will learn how child maltreatment prevention fits into state and federal child welfare reform. Participants will also share strategies for supporting families and lessons learned through implementing and evaluating services virtually. This NCDSS Grantee Meeting will not conflict with other scheduled events at the Summit.
