Dear Community
Partners, 

As we find ourselves already in the second week of July we are
reminded how quickly this year is passing. We at PCAP are taking
advantage of the nice weather and safer conditions that are allowing
us to start making the transition back in to clients homes. We are
working daily to better serve our clients and work in person with our
community partners in all three counties. We have a few things
happening here at PCAP, we are proud to say that our case manager
Jessica Waldo has accepted a position with Greys Harbor PCAP that
will be a great fit for her and her family. We will miss her greatly
and are looking for the perfect person to fill her shoes. That means
we are hiring for a case manager and are eager to welcome a new
member of our team. Please share the job listing with anyone who may
be a good fit!

Research
tells us that early childhood is a critical period of brain
development. To make the most of this critical time, Washington State
Department of Health (DOH) has been sharing Vroom with partners
across Washington since 2019. Vroom recognizes and reinforces the
power of parents and caregivers to play a proactive role in
children’s early brain development. It takes early brain science out
of the lab and puts it in the hands of caregivers and the important
adults in children’s lives, giving them positive, tested tips and
activities. Vroom is available via an app, website, text message
platform and print materials.
