2018-19 Emergency Foster Care Bridge Program All County Letter
This ACL specifically outlines the role of the R&R in the Bridge Program system and the proposed allocations are broken out by how much the R&R should receive for navigator services and Trauma-Informed Care training. If your county is still on the fence about opting in, the information in this letter should help you to advocate for these invaluable services for resource families. For questions or support about the navigator role, please contact Lola Cornish at lcornish@rrnetwork.org. For questions or support about Trauma-Informed Care training, please contact Domenica Benitez at dbenitez@rrnetwork.org.Conferences & Trainings
