ABOUT
Thriving children in healthy environments set the foundation for an equitable community. Yet the families of Lafayette, Colorado are lacking many of the fundamental economic and social supports necessary for raising healthy children in secure environments. To address these issues, this collaborative is fostering inclusion and engagement to create conditions for young children and their families to help them reach their full potential. This project supports a sustainable pathway for engaging families, encourages leadership and involvement, and creates a bridge between health care and community health—all with the intention of improving family-friendly policies and early childhood development.
