The CFS vision to improve the well-being of individuals, children, and families within communities across the country is only possible through national, state and local partnerships. Across our academic and research programs, we work with state agencies, funding providers, school programs, mental health professionals, teachers, non-profit organizations, and many other stakeholders who share our vision.

Each year, our program directors recognize community partners, university partners, individuals, and teams they feel have contributed significantly to their programs and our vision. Award recipients are recognized at our Fall Luncheon for their contributions to our mission.

Congratulations 2023 CFS Awardees!
