We recommend strengthening partnerships with key intergovernmental and provider agencies that are part of the prevention continuum, developing those partnerships through a learning agenda focused around data sharing, fiscal maximization, and referral opportunities as a starting point. A key step in strengthening partnerships is understanding each agency’s unique language around prevention, which is often shaped by policies, funding sources, tools, and eligibility criteria unique to the agency. Aligning on shared definitions where possible can uncover valuable insights, such as identifying where families successfully access support across agencies and where administrative barriers prevent them from reaching the resources they need. While strengthened intergovernmental and provider collaborations won’t yield immediate results, a shared learning agenda can set the foundation for data- sharing agreements, better family-referral systems, and additional federal funds. These efforts can inform ongoing CCWIS development, easing future data compatibility with prevention partners. The transition to a new gubernatorial administration, along with new leadership in DCYF and several public agencies, presents a pivotal opportunity to strengthen these relationships.
