📢 Big News from Helping Families Initiative!
This month, Kentucky state legislators traveled to Circuit 13 – Mobile County’s Helping Families Initiative after reading a summer news article highlighting the incredible impact HFI has had in reducing truancy and chronic absenteeism across local school districts.
During their visit, HFI hosted a comprehensive workshop where our team shared:
✅ How we connect students and parents with critical community resources
✅ How partnerships with schools, courts, and service providers help strengthen families
✅ How we collect, track, and monitor data to ensure every student’s progress is supported
The Kentucky delegation came eager to learn how HFI’s innovative, community-driven approach could be adapted to help families in their own state. Their visit reflects a growing recognition that our model has the potential to influence education and juvenile justice systems nationwide.
We are proud that the work happening in Mobile County is being noticed beyond Alabama—and we look forward to continuing to share strategies that keep students in school, families supported, and communities stronger. 💙📚
