Partners for Equity in Child and Adolescent Health Lessons Learned – Public Private Partnerships are vital for sustainability (federal/state/county/district) – Support for children and families requires coordination and/or integration of services (health/education/human services) – Return on investment has short and long term dividends (school attendance/health benefits/family stability) 11
