AOK Childhood Network
This year the AOK Network has grown to over 100 + members. The membership includes parents, providers, community residents and business leaders. As a Network we voted to address issues pertaining to infant, child and family safety; family and community violence and screening (infant, child and adult). Various providers have presented on such topics as autism, violence and combating obesity. Our Parent Board is working on a resource guide and the Screening Committee has voted to provide developmental screenings in family shelters located on the Westside of Chicago. The Network has also partnered with the State’s Project Launch Initiative to address childhood mental health issues.
