Puzzle Pieces

The vision for Chloe's Place began to unfold following an assessment of the work and connections of CHLOE. Here are a few of the projects, programs, and opportunities that come to mind:

• Equipping women to become leaders of STEP (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting)
  
• Equipping several young women to provide training to 'tweens' through the 'Safe Sitter' program
• Serving alongside leaders of Somali refugee organizations to developing and providing health and life skill education and resources to refugee women living in our community.
• Collaborating with professors from Otterbein College to develop and receive grant funding for health education programs.
• Training to become a coordinator for AVA ( Advocacy for Victims of Abuse)
• Participation in an Ohio Department of Health work group addressing Shaken Baby Syndrome.
• Work as a Child Care Health Consultant

The pattern of interest in serving women and their children was obvious. This was paired with 10 years service as a Community Health Nurse in Maternal and Child Health and 2 earlier years working in a Residential Drug Treatment program for teens.

The conclusion drawn from this assessment is that each of the projects and programs designed and/or offered by CHLOE serve as pieces of the ministry puzzle and were not intended to be a ministry in it's own right.

New life and direction for CHLOE will center around serving young women and their children. We are equipped to do so and have a passion for the work.
