Goal Statement
Promote physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing through timely and equitable access to services and resources to enhance the quality of life for residents.
Goal Description
Individuals’ health and wellbeing can be determined by their opportunities and their environment. Access to services for all residents using a holistic model that connects residents searching for services that meet their needs when they are at their most vulnerable or at risk of vulnerability is essential for health and wellbeing. Behavioral, mental, and physical health are interrelated and require person-centered responses due to the uniqueness of each individual’s situation. Living in the community versus institutional living, reducing stigma around seeking services, supports and treatment, increasing access to insurance and public benefits due to low income, having food security, and navigating toward stable housing are all keys to community wellbeing. None of these actions should be done in a vacuum but rather with full engagement of the community across generations.
