The Build Up project believes improving outcomes requires a deliberate focus on how we support change. The lessons, resources, and tools on this site emerged from direct implementation support with the Building Bridges Initiative© (BBI)-Six Core Strategies© (BBI/Six Core) pilot project. They can be used by practitioners, local and State agencies, and LME/MCO organizations working on how to support improving child, family, and developmental outcomes.
IS THIS YOU?
Take a look at a couple situations you might find yourself in. We have collected resources focused on helping you answer your questions.
- Leadership keeps asking “What is our role in implementation?”
- We don’t know where to go to get help and problem-solve.
- We’re not sure if the data and reports we share are being used.
- What questions are we trying to answer from the data we collect?
- When the project ends, everything goes away with it.
- Even with ongoing funding, we are not getting the outcomes we want.
