Community Ownership of Child Well-Being Workgroup
The Community Ownership of Child Well-Being (COCWB) workgroup has been meeting regularly and working diligently on a number of important topics, including creating common criteria for evidence based and informed practices, inventorying evidence based programs in Nebraska, and identifying existing community collaboration efforts to enhance efforts and reduce duplication. The group put forth a vision for a state level collective impact group, and recommended the Commission recognize the Prevention Partnership as that group focused on improving the well-being of children. The Commission approved the Prevention Partnership as this body at the May meeting.
In 2013and again in 2016, the workgroup held a number of listening sessions across the state to learn about the ongoing child well-being activities in communities and how the Commission could support their work. A report on the responses from the 2016 listenint sessions is available below.
