National EHDI Resource Center: Technical Assistance Network
NCHAM has a National EHDI Technical Assistance Network with extensive experience implementing and operating successful EHDI programs. Members of the network are located in different regions of the country and can assist the State EHDI programs, AAP Chapter Champions, and other organizations to assist in implementing and improving all EHDI components (refer to map).
The support provided by the Network can be individualized based on the needs of the state. Most support is provided at no charge; however more extensive efforts such as requests for workshops would likely require charging additional fees.
Examples of support the Network provides include:
- Supporting State Advisory Groups, such as serving on state EHDI advisory boards and attending meetings
- Conducting needs assessments
- Consulting with various stakeholders in the state
- Disseminating current information
- Making presentations at conferences
