What We Do
Healthy and Ready to Learn
Our Healthy and Ready to Learn initiative promotes student success by increasing access to health resources, promoting trauma sensitivity, and building positive school climates. We address health needs rooted in social, racial, and economic inequities by equipping communities with strategies and tools to promote a child’s health and well-being in schools.
We partner with communities using an approach that is strengths-based, whole-family oriented and equity-focused.
Trainings
