Kathleen and Michelle were pleased to join LDSS Commissioners for their Social Services Leadership and Policy Forum hosted by NYPWA and Casey Family Programs. We are excited about the ongoing joint efforts of NYPWA and COFCCA in exploring pathways to addressing the needs of children with unmet and complex cross-systems needs. We also appreciate John Liddle and the counties for their partnership in advocacy surrounding the liability insurance and workforce crises among the provider community.
