Steps of Change

Assessment
Assessment is important to identify the needs and strengths of families and of our communities, our regions and our state.

Planning
Planning is important so that we know how we will work together to use our strengths and resources to meet our needs.

Implementation
Implementation is important because the best plans ever written are not any good unless we act on them. Implementing the plan is how we get the work done, for our families, our communities, our regions, and our state.

Evaluation
Evaluation is important so that we figure out what works well and what needs to be improved.
