Alamance Alliance for Children and Families a System That Cares
The Alamance Alliance for Children and Families is a community-wide initiative dedicated to supporting the social and emotional needs of very young children (birth through age 5) and their families. The Alliance partners with local child-serving agencies, the community, and, most importantly, with families to ensure that children and families receive the services and support they need to stay safe, healthy, and together. The Alliance is part of a broader System of Care initiative designed to support children grades K through 12 and their families. Through teamwork and shared responsibility, System of Care organizes and coordinates services and resources in a comprehensive and interconnected network— integrating the work of education, juvenile justice, health, mental health, child welfare, family court, and other organizations to help children and their families achieve better outcomes.
