Dr. Holly Sienkiewicz (Center for New North Carolinians) received new funding from the North Carolina State Library for the project “Moss Street Outreach – Library Driven Community Engagement.”
Method: A direct service intervention strategy will continue to work with 40 at-risk Hispanic children by giving them a chance to develop their full potential at the earliest possible age (0-3 years). This will be done by working with at-risk children and their parents in their homes, ensuring early detection for mental health risks, assisting families in parenting strategies, and providing appropriate referrals in supporting their children.
