Trent Lott National Center
Families First for Mississippi
Page Content
The University of Southern Mississippi Trent Lott National Center lead a strategic
planning process for the Families First of Mississippi. In 2017, Families First began
expanding its service delivery strategy to align with the Mississippi Department of
Human Service’s Gen+ Approach—a multi-generational, collaborative approach. This strategic plan serves as a guide
to fulfill Families First’s mission of “impacting the whole family” transitioning
from an old model of serving the individual client to a model focused on serving the
whole family, from infancy to senior adults. The plan defines overarching goals and
supporting tactics for the next five years designed to fulfill mandates, meet stakeholder
expectations, and create public value for years to come.
