1.
CHILDREN
&
FAMILIES ARE
SAFE FROM VIOLENCE IN HOMES & NEIGHBORHOODS (TCE #5).
Violence prevention is not just the
business of the police department. It's a public health issue, and it's
preventable. Youth, parents, faith leaders, law enforcement, and local business
are joining forces to create alternatives to violence along with new
opportunities for kids.
2. ALL CHILDREN HAVE HEALTH COVERAGE
(TCE #1).
1.5
million in California are uninsured. Working toward coverage for kids wil
improve health care and lower costs in the future as healthy children become
healthy adults.
3.
HEALTH‐ & FAMILY‐FOCUSED HUMAN SERVICES SHIFT RESOURCES TOWARDS PREVENTION (TCE #3).
We're working toward a health care system that places
greater emphasis on preventing illness instead of only rseponding in times of
medical crisis.
4.
COMMUNITIES
SUPPORT HEALTHY YOUTH DEVELOPMENT (TCE #6).
Mobilizing youth as leaders and change agents, and
supporting kids to stay in school, find meaningful work, and connect with caring
adults helps the next generation to thrive.
5. IMPROVED ACCESS TO HEALTH HOMES
THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY BEHAVIORS (TCE #2).
A "health home" offers a home base for health care
where a primary doctor provides culturally appropriate, consistent care and
coordinates with other professionals to meet all of a family's health
needs.
