No formal education required to participate): <br />Bachelor's Degree <br />I am passionate about or have knowledge of (please check ALL that apply): <br />Education, Children/youth services, Transitional age youth, Early learning, Community needs assessment, <br />Mental health services, Wellness promotion/prevention, Disability services, Health equity/disparities, <br />Immigration/refugee communities <br />Passionate about: Other, if applicable: <br /> <br />What do you feel qualifies you for the Community Advisory Council (CAC)? <br />My years of working with young adults and children has given me an opportunity to see what works and what <br />needs still exist. The information flow/ support for immigrants and people with less economic means is not a <br />cohesive system, leaving them unaware of the supports that do exist. My years working in the school system <br />also exposed weak to non-existent support for mental health issues. This area of need seems to have <br />increased without a plan for how to obtain services, or enough well planned effective services. As we see <br />throughout this country our inability to effectively address these needs has substantial costs to our society. We <br />can often identify children needing help at a young age, but without resources there is little we can do to truly <br />help. My knowledge of the holes that exist and ideas of how we can help support these children and their <br />families is why I wish to be on the CAC. <br /> <br /> <br />If you have printed this application, please send to: <br />King Jones <br />Cardinal Innovations Healthcare <br />550 South Caldwell Street, Suite 1500 <br />Charlotte, NC 28202 <br /> <br />8
