Research tells us that the social conditions of our lives (e.g. employment, housing, and education) impact health more than genetics, behavior, or even medical care. Family Support is an approach to addressing these concerns, which also recognizes that family is the most fundamental influence in the lives and outcomes of children, and families are strong when they are supported by safe and thriving neighborhoods.
The Family Support Initiative is supported by the Family Support Steering Committee, a group of over 15 leaders in Marin, and is guided by the Family Support Blueprint. This group works to:
- Create linkages between family support stakeholders
- Build political will in support of families in Marin
- Respond to priorities identified by families and service providers
