Partnerships and Collaboration
Successful Project LAUNCH leaders expand their organization’s capacity to promote young child wellness by creating partnerships with other organizations.
Forming Partnerships in Project LAUNCH
By tapping the strengths and resources of others who share their child wellness goals, Project LAUNCH leaders can create new or expanded services, eliminate unnecessary duplication, provide increased access to data, and build the skills of all partners.
While partnerships can range in strength from simple cooperative arrangements—such as agreeing to publicize each other’s activities—to full-blown collaborations that involve joint funding of an evidence-based service, all are based on respect, trust, and a shared vision. The Project LAUNCH team at SAMHSA has led the way for this work by engaging in partnerships and collaboration with a broad variety of partners at the federal level.
