This is E/BFSC's first professionally produced annual report.
"Last year, our Collaborative joined with the District's other six Healthy Families/Thriving Communities Collaboratives to shift from a deficit-based operating philosophy that emphasized families characterized by child abuse and neglect, to a strength-based philosophy emphasizing capacity building and prevention through cost-effective, community-based support systems."
From the report's letter from the Chair, Albert J. Browne

Helping families make connections that count is a critical component of EBFSC’s work, as more and more families are impacted by the effects of poverty. Without the support of E/BFSC and its partner network, many of the families we serve would be unable to make connections that allow them to reduce the risk and stress that threaten the well-being of their family and children.

The seeds of what has grown into the EBFSC were planted by our founders who in 1996 had a shared vision and are still dedicated to growing and nurturing this effort in 2008.
