The Children's Collaborative for Healing and Support has come up with strategies for overcoming two major obstacles to modern efforts to help children: Using a legal method to find the children and communicating with the children's remaining parents or guardians without violating privacy laws.
The group will work with a government entity to find children who may have been affected by the loss of a parent by sifting through state death records and state birth records.
The group will then get around obstacles to communicating with children directly by having a school district put information about the support services connector program in children's back-to-school form packets.
