Changing Systems, Changing Lives
Every day, health and human service systems fail the people and communities who need them most. Those who face multiple challenges too often are shuttled through programs that don’t add up to lasting change. The consequence is revolving-door systems that waste billions of dollars and show inadequate results.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
S
afety, stability, mastery, social connections and meaningful access to relevant mainstream resources are universal conditions for healthy people and communities. We call these the Five Domains.
We believe that it is possible to break cycles of poverty, violence and trauma through systems and services that account for people’s intersecting needs in all Five Domains.
The Full Frame Initiative is leading a national charge to align policy, community‐based practice and research in pursuit of these Five Domains.
Leveraging the power of networks, we are seeding and supporting a growing movement of community‐based organizations, policy makers, funders, researchers, residents of marginalized communities, and allies.
Together we:
- Surface, document and spread existing approaches that support lasting change for those who face the most challenges; and
- Advance changes in public policies, funder practices, and public values to encourage community‐based interventions that support people’s progress and growth in all Five Domains.
