From Lessons to Lasting Impact: A Whole Family Approach Webinar
2026-02-25 14:00 - 15:00
Across the country, many Community Action Agencies are adopting a Whole Family Approach (WFA) to advance social and economic mobility for families. The agencies embarking on this path are located in urban, suburban, rural, and frontier places with a diverse mix of programs and agency capacities.
While experience shows that integrated, family-centered services lead to stronger outcomes for both parents and children, agencies have learned that success requires more than strong program design, it demands organizational alignment, systems change, and sustained leadership commitment.
This national webinar offers a deeper look at what implementation truly looks like, featuring agencies from NCAP’s Regional Advanced Whole Family Approach Community of Practice. Three agencies will be featured on a panel presentation that will highlight their learning and progress.
To further enrich the discussion, the session will support a robust Q&A, offering additional perspectives and responding to participant questions related to implementation, readiness, and sustainability.
This session is designed for agency leaders, managers, and practitioners who are seeking practical insights, peer-informed strategies, and reassurance that meaningful, lasting change is possible, even when the path is complex.
