Oklahoma's Individual and Family Support Principles
Oklahoma's Individual and Family Support Principles are guiding truths that shape the way individuals, families and service providers interact; establish common ground upon which individuals, families, advocates and service providers operate; and form the basis for program policy and practice. This resource can be found in our Best Practices and Lessons Learned section of the Public Resource Library. Thank you Okalahoma, for sending this in!
