Workshop 1: Accessing Data on Children and Families: Mississippi KIDS COUNT

When it comes to the economic, educational and health status of children, families and communities, have you ever wondered if what you are seeing and hearing anecdotally in your work is substantiated by data? Have you wondered how your county compares to others across the state? How your state compares to others across the nation? Do you often wish you had data to support your proposals, reports, and policy recommendations? This workshop will acquaint you with the work of Mississippi KIDS COUNT and show you how to access and incorporate data about children and families into your work
