Policy & Practice June 2015

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

T he American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) works with and through our members to capture inno- vations in practice, programs, and policy that will transform our health and human service system to support meaningful and sustainable outcomes for strong and healthy children, youth, families, and communities. This work is outlined in our members’ vision for a transformed health and human service system in Pathways: The Opportunities Ahead for Human Services. As part of the Pathways initiative, APHSA, in partnership with The Kresge Foundation, has launched a national effort aimed at collecting stories of human service transformation and innovation. Each narrative describes the context or catalyst for the change made, various strategies utilized, and results that occurred. Here is one of the success stories from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
