This session will highlight Family Strong, a federally-funded program dedicated to strengthening the well-being of families across eight rural southeast Kansas counties. Attendees will hear from Family Strong researchers and evaluators from the University of Kansas Center for Public Partnerships and Research who will share program outcomes, lessons learned, and replicable guidance. Come and learn how community providers used IRIS to bolster collaboration and strengthen connections with new partners, supporting families before challenges escalated into a crisis.
