Family Policy Council
Dad with Daughter

To address root causes of current and chronic public health and safety disturbances, Community Networks facilitate reviews of locally established patterns of engagement and distribution; social and organizational frameworks and functions; community norms, assumptions and expectations; and shared values.

Establishing collaboration based on shared values generates widespread momentum for foundational improvement.

"Using local resources and knowledge, Community Networks facilitate culture change that not only resolves social problems, but also builds long term community capacity that is consistent with local values and social organization.

Institutions are transformed, existing social networks are strengthened, new social networks are created, and the identity and cohesion of the community are revived and reinforced.

Throughout, individuals and groups within the community are reminded that they can improve their own lives and the lives of others, and are empowered to do so.

The Family Policy Council is accomplishing all of this at a cost that is significantly less than traditional government programs."

Dr. Kimberly Martin, University of LaVerne, "Creating Sustainable Organizations in the Globalizing World: Integrating Anthropological Knowledge and Organizational System Theory" 2007


Community Networks

Tens of thousands of Washington residents and professionals assemble Community Public Health and Safety Networks in diverse communities including rural and remote, urban and suburban, islands, Tribal reservations and a Tribal consortium, and timber and tourist economies. In these places people give careful thought to how the current economic and social conditions affect local family safety, health, recovery and prosperity. Ideas, observations and research are woven together to form a cohesive strategy that everyone takes part in. Leadership is expansive, service is adaptive and everyone holds responsibility for success. View map.

An overview of what matters most in supporting each community's unique journey toward health and safety is available in the most recent Community Context 2009-2011 Network Report Summaries.
