Description

What does "family support" mean to you? What types of programs and services does your neighborhood need? Do you want to influence how the Children's Services Council of Leon County makes its decisions? You're invited to join CSC Leon for one of the upcoming Family Listening Sessions exploring "Family Support Services" to ensure future funding decisions reflect the needs of the families across Leon County. This facilitated discussion is designed to engage parents and caregivers on your unique challenges and opportunities in an open and inclusive setting. There is no cost to participate and we will serve food. All participants are asked to complete a brief survey before and after the event, as well as cast a vote for the future branding of CSC Leon. There are no wrong answers to this survey. The information will be used to help us design future opportunities and programs.
