What makes access meaningful?

FFI released “Meaningful Access to Relevant Resources”, the final fact sheet in the series on our Five Domains of Wellbeing.

FFI defines meaningful access to relevant resources as the degree to which a person can meet needs particularly important for her or his situation in ways that are not overly onerous, and are not degrading or dangerous. The need for meaningful access to relevant resources is universal, but what makes access meaningful is different for everyone. Read more about meaningful access, and about the other domains of wellbeing, here.

FFI believes equity and social justice are necessary for wellbeing—the needs and experiences that are essential to health and hope. Significant barriers to wellbeing deepen inequities based on race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, and other marginalized and disenfranchised identities. Because of the central role race plays in contributing to persistent inequities in the United States, FFI believes that increasing access to wellbeing is essential for ending racism and advancing racial equity. FFI is working internally and with our partners to ensure our commitment to accelerating progress on issues of racial and social equity and inclusion are reflected in all of our work.
