They <br />outlined their plans in three goals: to make sure that children are healthy and prepared for school, to ensure <br />child success in education and to involve families, neighbors and institutions in healthy childhood <br />development. <br />FSA plans to meet these goals in specific ways, starting from educating families about how to have <br />healthy births, supporting early learning for children, developing language skills and making health care <br />accessible. <br />EDITORS PICKS <br />How two former UNCwomen's lacrosse players <br />built a program from <br />scratch <br />AKPsi's UNC chapter isunder investigation <br />following allegations of <br />hazing <br />PlayMakers retells an age-old battle of science and <br />religion with 'Galileo' <br />“I think the mission and vision are consistent with what the (Orange County) commissioners initially <br />identified when we started the FSA," said Coby Jansen Austin, director of programs and policy at FSA. <br />"What this plan does is focus more explicitly on the desire to uncover family power in driving equity and <br />systems change. That’s really the most significant evolution. The family empowerment model is growing <br />to meet families’ needs.”
