Keeping Afloat-Organization Sustainability Training
Date: March 2009
Location: More information coming soon
FIFI Policy Academy
Date: May 1, 2009
The landscape of health care for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) in Florida will see many changes over the upcoming years. This is in part due to new polices and programs at the federal level, Medicaid Reform in the state, and changes to ensure that there are enough dollars to serve the many populations needing care. It is critical that family leaders be at the forefront of driving policy change at every level to ensure that changes are responsive to the real needs of families and communities and that services are family centered and culturally competent.
The Florida Institute for Family Involvement is responding to this need by offering Children with Special Health Care Needs Policy Academy in a series of training calls beginning May 1, 2009.
