ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Thriving in Complexity, our guest is Andrea Danes, EY’s Global Human Services Leader, with nearly 30 years of experience in both public and private sectors with program expertise in Medicaid, Child Welfare, and other Human Services programs.
Andrea shares her experience working with government leaders and communities to design and implement programs that address the specific needs of vulnerable populations. Throughout the conversation, we'll explore the challenges of navigating complex systems, the promise of predictive analytics and the importance of building strong partnerships to overcome these obstacles.
Andrea emphasizes the importance of a person-centred approach why it is essential to focus on people, families, and communities rather than just on programs.
We also discuss the importance of transforming the safety net and using data and intuition to enable resilience and recovery in the delivery of Human Services. Andrea shares the personal experiences that drive both her perspective and passion for supporting individuals and families in need.
Join us in this episode of Thriving in Complexity to learn more about the complexities of the human and health services landscape and the importance of a person-centred approach in providing quality care and support to people experiencing vulnerability.
