Raising Riley RIGHT is an early childhood program funded by the Children’s Cabinets Initiative and Trust, from the state. The program covers several different topics, including childhood behavior.
There is currently a vacant facilitator position within the program, which Riley County Health Department Director, Brenda Nickel requested be filled, during Thursday’s county commission meeting.
The previous facilitator vacated the position to go to the infant/toddler program. Nickel mentioned there is currently a staff member that has expressed interest in the position and has training in behavioral health.
The commission unanimously approved the request to fill the position.
