Community Partners
We're currently developing community partnerships that foster a resilient and healthy community network, accessible to individuals, families, and youth without causing harm or requiring community members to jump through hoops and over hurdles to receive resources and services. Please email us if you'd like to explore how we can work together!

Cultivating and Curating Partnership Relationships
"The phrase “community partnerships” typically conjure up images about warm, like-minded people collaborating together towards a common cause or mission. But such relationships can have a dark side and their share of obstacles - and even a toxic or traumatic impact. That’s why it’s so important to choose your partners carefully and get things right from the start." - Center for Care Innovations
