Care Team

What is Care Team?

Well-Being Education & Support for the Whole Family

When children or adults in the family experience challenges in multiple areas of their life it can be difficult to stay healthy. The Child Health Initiative brings professional and natural support teams together to partner with families who are experiencing these challenges. The goal is for caregivers and children to begin actively choosing habits that lead to healthy living, economic stability and building their own future stories.
