Commissioner Rich suggested making Health in All Policies part of the BOCC annual <br /> retreat's goals. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said Health in All Policies could be wedded to social justice, and <br /> he would rather see social justice as the larger heading and make Health in All Policies a <br /> smaller heading. <br /> 3. Family Success Alliance Update <br /> Meredith Stewart said one of the catalysts for the initiative was seeing that the number of <br /> children living in poverty was increasing in Orange County. She said this also reflected statewide <br /> trends. She reiterated the importance of early childhood to future success in all areas of life. She <br /> said brain formation during early years has implications for years to come. She said a particular <br /> area of influence are Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)that can change the way the brain is <br /> built in early childhood. <br /> She said those facts combined to create a desire to mitigate the effects of poverty on <br /> children and families in Orange County. She said the Harlem Children's Zone, which presents the <br /> idea of a pipeline from cradle to college/career, was considered as a potential model to adapt to <br /> Orange County. She said the pipeline idea presents a seamless set of services, programs and <br /> policies that provide for the success of children and families. She said a slightly modified version of <br /> the pipeline idea is being created in Orange County. She said it has four large goals: <br /> 1.) Children are healthy and prepared for school <br /> 2.) Children and Youth are healthy and succeed in school <br /> 3.) Youth graduate from High School and go on to college or a career <br /> 4.) Families and neighborhoods are supporting the healthy development of children <br /> She said in the Fall of 2014, an initial six zones, where the largest number of children and <br /> families were struggling to make ends meet, were narrowed down to two. She said the process <br /> included community input in writing and in-person presentations by each zone. She said zone four <br /> and zone six are the final two zones and will ultimately receive a different name. She said zone <br /> four is in the northern part of the County near New Hope Elementary and A.L. Stanback Middle <br /> School. She said zone six is in western Chapel Hill/Carrboro area. She commented that the two <br /> zones are extremely different in many ways. She said a gap analysis was started to see where the <br /> gaps in the pipeline were in the two zones. She said the analysis was completed via door to door <br /> interviews with community members, one on one interviews with service providers and <br /> organizations, focus groups, and an online survey. She said the information gathered through this <br /> process was just presented to the two zones last week. She said there was a great response and <br /> feedback from both communities. She said the information presented to the two zones were both <br /> qualitative and quantitative. She said the community feedback will be presented to the Family <br /> Success Alliance Advisory Council on Monday, April 20tH <br /> Meredith Stewart said the next part of the process is to identify short term and long term <br /> ambitious ideas that can fill the gaps in the pipeline. She said additional goals are to create a <br /> robust evaluation plan, increasing data available to do the evaluation, and continuing with strong <br /> community engagement. She said a group will be traveling to the Harlem Children's Zone to visit <br /> the practitioners institute and see how the pipeline works in person versus theory. <br /> Chair McKee expressed thanks for the efforts of all working on this project and agreed with <br /> the crucial timing of working with children in need as early as possible in order to secure future <br /> success. <br /> 4.
