Collaborations
In order to offer the best in consultation and program evaluation, we recognize the importance of cultivating long-lasting and honest partnerships with community groups and agencies. INNOVATIONS has formed very strong relationships with different agencies and organizations from the community, with a focus on collaborations that address a number of focus areas:
Health Disparities:
INNOVATIONS works with our partners to improve the health and overall quality of life of marginalized and other disadvantaged groups. In a related project, we partnered with the Child Health Policy Center and the Ohio State University to examine mental health status, access to care and service utilization in Ohio. The resulting report presents trends related to insurance, income, demographic characteristics and physical health.
School-Based Physical and Behavioral Health:
INNOVATIONS provides program evaluation, technical assistance and grant writing support for a number of community agencies and school systems that provide academic, physical and mental health services in the schools. We have collaborated with partners to evaluate after school programs and produce annual impact reports for Families FORWARD, Cincinnati Public Schools, Community Learning Center and the Talbert House Family Peer Support programs.
Early Childhood Development:
INNOVATIONS partners with organizations and initiatives that work to improve the social, emotional and academic outcomes for young children in the Greater Cincinnati region. We partner with Cincinnati Public Schools, the United Way of Greater Cincinnati Success by 6® and other partners to understand Kindergarten readiness across the region.
Community-Based Assessment and Intervention:
Following Hurricane Katrina, we established a partnership with St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, to conduct a needs and health assessment.
