Southeast Children's Fund Team 2011-2012 Recap:

This team collaborated with Southeast Children’s Fund (SCF), a nonprofit serving families in Wards 7 and 8. Specifically, they focused on SCF’s early learning center in the Solomon G Brown Corps Community Center that serves children ages birth to three years old. First, the team conducted an informal needs assessment among the parents and staff of SCF, and discovered that the required District of Columbia Universal Health Form is challenging and overwhelming for both groups. As such, the team created comprehensive binders including best practices materials on child health, development, and healthcare navigation tools. They then walked through these binders with parents at a mandatory PTA meeting. This experience gave the team the chance to share their individual expertise on various health topics and gave them the opportunity to learn about the importance of parent empowerment when it comes to children’s healthcare.
