| Recruitment/access
to target group |
- looking for agencies who have a
'captive audience' or group already formed (Adult Basic
Education, friendship centre, hospital, public health nurses)
- looking for a good location,
where parents can be contacted
- looking for agencies who have
early contact with parents of newborns
|
| Financial
reasons |
- family literacy/literacy
programs don't have the resources or finances to do a
full-fledged promotion and recruitment
- for general financial
assistance
- finding partners was a
requirement for funding
|
| To
include family literacy as part |
- family literacy seen as
fundamental to health of another program by coordinator and
nurses
- another agency's proposal
included family literacy as one component
|
| Because
it "makes sense" |
- agencies share similar goals
- agencies are trying to reach
the same kinds of people
- collaborating seemed like a
natural evolution
- coordinator wanted a holistic
approach to supporting families
- coordinator wanted to improve
families' access to other services
- collaborating with health
agency seemed like a natural step
|
| To
create a greater awareness of |
- literacy and family literacy
programs have to family literacy let other agencies know they
exist
- having collaborated has created
a very educated group that will not drop literacy because it's
now a priority
