The Family Re-Union conferences provide a useful intersection between practice, research and policy development on issues of critical concern to families and children. An over-arching concern about the intersection of a changing health care environment with the changing and complex needs of families and children will provide the backdrop for these issues. The NSLC is a collaboration of 14 partner organizations and universities nationwide. First Call Minnesota now has a web site devoted to information related to the tornado relief effort in South-central,Minnesota. The First Call For Help in New Ulm is updating information everyday.

Prior to 1996, there was no statewide database of resources available. However, First Call Minnesota, a collaboration of the First Call For Helps,was formed to ensure that there would be First Call For Help coverage in every county in the state. First Call Minnesota has two key components. First, a statewide phone number that uses pre-fix routing technology to route callers to the appropriate local regional First Call For Help. Second, each regional center is compiling resources and entering community service information such as health, human services and employment resources into a statewide database.
