Families Count: Child and Family Well-Being in Mississippi

Mississippi’s KIDS COUNT data offers a clear picture of the opportunities and obstacles facing children across our state. Bringing these numbers off the page and into everyday life requires open conversation, local reporting, and community-driven solutions.

Join Mississippi Today and Deep South Today at the Jackson Medical Mall on Tuesday, November 10, for Families Count, a public forum dedicated to child and family well-being. We will dive into practical strategies for navigating ongoing Medicaid changes, examine pathways for youth success, and hear directly from local caregivers and service providers.

What We’ll Discuss:

• Key findings from the latest KIDS COUNT data for Mississippi families.
• Navigating recent Medicaid changes and expanding health coverage access.
• Direct insights from community practitioners and local families.
