About the Collaborative: YSS, in collaboration with Central Iowa Community Services Mental Health and Disabilities Region, Early Childhood Iowa and Lutheran Services in Iowa is building a sustainable Children’s Well-Being Collaborative in central Iowa for Greene, Jasper, Poweshiek, Madison, Warren, Boone, Franklin, Hamilton, Hardin, Marshall and Story counties. This Collaborative identifies resources, supports, and services needed by families, as well as the opportunity to provide training, establish new partnerships, and grow existing relationships in our communities. This collaborative will work to ensure services are evidence-based, trauma-informed and culturally competent, to improve child and family well-being outcomes.
