Upstream Support to Prevent Downstream Crises

Four experts in human services from around the country give their perspectives on the value of upstream support in preventing downstream crises. Frank Alexander talks about how data transparency can help systems react to root causes quicker. Kristie Gordy talks about WY Home Matters and using all the resources of an agency to support families across their interactions. David Reed breaks down how he led a push in Indiana to save money by creatively using federal funds to tackle root causes of foster care removals. And Christine Norbut Beyer discusses how New Jersey leverages universal home visits by nurses to new parents to provide support in the home and prevent future challenges.
