Many children face challenges such as poverty, family instability, and poor environmental conditions that put them far behind their peers before they even get to school, and, when they arrive at school, prevent them from fully engaging in the classroom. These traumatic childhood events can alter the body’s ability to stay healthy and promote optimal brain development. Research shows that nearly one in five children is at significant risk for poor health and educational outcomes due to these adverse childhood experiences.
Despite having similar goals, most schools, health care centers, social service agencies, and early childhood providers don’t have the time, capacity, or reach to address such complex challenges. In addition, the divisions between these systems mean that services aren’t coordinated — and at times are even duplicated — causing underserved children and families to fall through the cracks.
By creating an integrated model that can be replicated across the country, we hope to make a permanent, large-scale, and transformative impact within the public systems that currently serve children and families.
Our mission is to foster each child’s well-being as a foundation for academic and life success by drawing on the strengths of the child’s entire community including family, educators, and medical and mental health providers.
We envision a world in which every child, regardless of background, becomes a healthy and productive adult. Our goal is to create a game-changing system of care for children that can be replicated across the country.
