Collaboratives in Minnesota

In 1993, the Minnesota Legislature established the roles and responsibilities for these Collaboratives. Mandatory partners include counties, school districts, public health, community action programs and Head Start. These partners work together to meet goals to address the health, educational, developmental and family-related needs of children and youth.

Family Services Collaboratives strive to:
Improve outreach and early identification
Coordinate assessments and services across agencies
Integrate funding and resources.
