Community Well being Model Definition – Draft
Nebraska Children has formalized the Community Well-Being Model which adheres to the Collective Impact Approach. The goal is to create a community-based prevention system that promotes safe, healthy, and thriving children, youth, families, and communities. The prevention system is broad based and includes a community collaborative which builds capacity and strengthens individuals, organizations, coalitions, and systems to support safe, healthy, and nurturing environments.
CWB components:
Organized prevention system with varying degrees of development (including infrastructure & processes, capacity building, number of workgroups / implementation of strategies)
Lifespan focus
Community Ownership
Broad-Based collaborative support through multi-sector partners
Collective Impact functions and processes (including data driven, common agenda, agreed upon goals, continuous communication, etc.)
