Description
In 1998-1999, the FCSS Association of Alberta conducted a research project to learn the experiences of Family and Community Support Services programs in working with others. As a result of this research, a set of six papers were released in the Working Together series. This paper, the first in the series, provides theoretical information about working together in general. It summarizes: why FCSS programs work with others; bridges and barriers to working together; working across organizational cultures; and three challenges and opportunities for FCSS working together in the future.
