A Child-Centered Approach to Empowering Connections, Advocacy, and Family Support Community through Friendship
A family wellbeing ecosystem refers to the interconnectedness of challenges families and communities face - both on an individual and systemic level.
While keeping the child centered in all areas, this ecosystem including parents, caregivers, teachers, medical professionals, and community-supported services, can work together to support the needs of the child, families, and community.
Supporting the needs of the child nourishes the wellbeing of the community as a whole, present and future.
