Navigating the complex and fragmented systems of services can be overwhelming and exhausting, but the AOK Networks in Illinois provide the means for local champions from across service sectors to work together for the common good. Currently, all AOK Networks maintain a referral process using IRIS to meet communities where they are while empowering local leaders to align with the statewide vision to support all Illinois families. By working together, AOK Networks and IRIS improve families’ access to a coordinated system of supports to enhance child and family outcomes.
