Children's Services Council of Leon County

What a distinct honor to join the Tallahassee Women Lawyers for their panel on maternal and perinatal health disparities. Together with our partners, we showcased the many investments happening in Leon County to support women through the birthing and parenting journey. Holly McPhail from Windwood Communications & Consulting, LLC. facilitated an all-woman panel featuring Chris Szorcsik from Capital Area Healthy Start Coalition, Kelly Otte from The Oasis Center for Women & Girls, Kim Sineath from the Family Resource Centers of Leon County, and our very own Cecka Rose Green, CPM. The message is clear: if we are serious about providing the best possible start in life for our children then all have a role to play in supporting birthing parents, especially black and brown women, especially in the provision of family-friendly workplace policies. #ourkidsfirst #strongfamilies #connectedcommunity

Thank you to TSC President Jim Murdaugh and the entire team at Tallahassee Collegiate Academy for the tour of this tuition-free STEM charter high school located on the Tallahassee State College campus. As we consider future pathways for our children in Leon County, we must ensure that youth have access to a variety of choices that best suit their individual needs. #tca #careerpathways #ourkidsfirst
