Story and Purpose

What's the story?

 

  • Different specific story each month, but the through-line is:

    • OHU is at the forefront of the child welfare space, leading the conversation on how to improve the lives of those we serve.​​

    • By having these conversations, we hope to inspire actionable change and work together to improve outcomes for the children and families we serve. 

What's the purpose?

 

  • Three main purposes:

    • Educating audiences/building credibility​

    • Stewarding partnerships

    • Expanding audiences

      • Content marketing​

      • Grassroots partnerships with organizations on each episode
