We all face challenges. Some of us are thrust into a public health crisis. For others, they’re born into a world of adversity, trauma and chaos. 100% Community is about how we can finally create systems of health and safety that serve everyone, everywhere. 100% Community is the strategy that finally ensures trauma-free and thriving childhoods. For all children.
With the 100% Community initiative, we provide you and your community with the insights to ensure that ten vital services are working well in times both calm and chaotic. (The pandemic and economic free fall would rate high on the chaos meter.) We call these services that none of us can do without, the “surviving services” that start with medical care and include behavioral health care, safe housing, secure food and transport to vital services.
Once these services are secure, we move on to ensuring access to what we call the “thriving services” which include: parent supports, early childhood learning programs, community schools, youth mentors and job training. Each of these services play a vital role in keeping us safe from challenges — both predictable and unexpected.
We empower the community leaders who strengthen the vital services to ensure family and community health, safety and resilience. We prevent ACEs with a comprehensive data-driven and cross-sector strategy.
