Values
Inclusion: Build a sense of belonging and champion equity for everyone.
Collaboration: Evolve by working together, supporting one another, and having fun.
Responsibility: Provide services in the best way possible through exceptional accountability and
stewardship practices.
Innovation: Lead with creativity and agility when exploring new and responsive ways to grow
and change.
Conclusion
From the research carried out on CTN, it appears that an integrative team and family members
create a childcare plan depending on the unique needs of each child, which goes to show the
level of care and effort CTN puts in. But there was no evidence to show that the psychosocial
QoL of children who got CTN integrated care was significantly better than that of children who
got regular care.
