We focus on the redefining whole person, whole family and whole community health as something people build together, not something we receive at the doctor or in the marketplace. How well we live together today can significantly shape our future health. The ultimate upstream approach in protecting the safety of children is promoting the well-being of parents and families, not as the recipients of government-funded programs and services but as having the authority, resources, and freedoms to be actors and authors of our own lives.
