Through direct referrals, you will connect families to programs that can address their children's needs, assisting parents over the phone with a range of questions related to the health, development, behavior, and learning of children. You will also follow up with parents to ensure they have a full understanding of the services available and provide care coordination to families living within the North Hartford Promise Zone as part of the Ascend project.
