CBC 7 Community Conversation – Brazos County

CBC7 is a collaborative initiative created to prepare our region for Community-Based Care.  Our attention is focused on two primary goals:

• Developing a collaborative approach to bringing Community Based Care to Region 7
• Supporting measurable positive change initiatives in communities across the region, where families are supported, children are safe, and placements of outside of permanency are rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Please join us for a CBC7 a community conversation in June.  At this gathering, we will be sharing information on the changing child welfare landscape and seeking your input on what is important to you as we consider alternatives for implementing Community-Based Care across the region.  In addition, we will be announcing an upcoming opportunity for local community efforts to seek strategic guidance and financial support as they design and implement innovative projects intended to reduce entries into foster care, shorten time in substitute care, and/or prevent recidivism into the foster care system.

Date: June 11^th

Time: 9:00am-11:30am

Location: Central Church, 1991 FM158, College Station, TX 77845 – We will meet in the gathering room which is in the Family Life Center in the back of their property

This convening will serve as a platform for community stakeholders to receive information about ongoing CBC7 efforts, share ideas and experiences, voice concerns, and provide feedback to facilitate the development of recommendations to help move this work forward. Every voice is welcome and needed so our community is well-positioned to effectively serve all children and families.
