Building Strong Brains partners gathered June 10 at the Goshen College Fellowship Hall for the quarterly convening. The meeting brought together more than 70 participants to reflect on recent progress, share insights, and plan for the work ahead to help every child in Elkhart County thrive.
Updates highlighted the ongoing efforts of the Family Voice team, which continues to elevate parent and caregiver perspectives in shaping early childhood priorities. The new cohort of community resource navigators, representing 11 partner organizations, was also recognized. These navigators will provide valuable information about the challenges families face and help strengthen connections to resources.
During the working lunch, participants took part in a collective storytelling session, sharing examples of progress and opportunities within the coalition’s shared work.
Partners left the convening with a renewed sense of purpose and connection, ready to continue working together to build a stronger early childhood system for all families in Elkhart County.
