𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮'𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

LIFESPAN Services is grateful for the investments included in North Carolina's 2026-2027 State Budget. From Medicaid and behavioral health services to community-based care and the Direct Support Professional workforce, these commitments help strengthen essential supports for individuals and families across our state.

We are especially thankful for the $97 million in recurring funding for childcare subsidy rates, which supports educators, providers, children, and working families while helping ensure access to high-quality early learning opportunities.

While challenges remain, we look forward to continuing to work with legislators and community partners to expand access to services and strengthen supports for North Carolinians of all abilities. Thank you for your leadership and commitment to our communities.

More than 150 teachers from LIFESPAN and 10 other agencies across Iredell and surrounding counties came together for an incredible day of learning and growth through Conscious Discipline, a research-based approach that helps adults respond to challenging behaviors with understanding, connection, and teaching rather than punishment.

The energy in the room was contagious as educators left feeling encouraged, inspired, and equipped with new tools to build stronger relationships and create nurturing environments where children can thrive. As a new school year begins, these dedicated teachers are ready to make an even greater impact on the lives of children and families throughout our community.

We are deeply grateful to United Way of Iredell County and Kim Hughes of Conscious Discipline for their partnership, generosity, and commitment to supporting educators. Together, we are helping create brighter futures, one child at a time. 💙✨
