Humane Housing as a Vital Condition for Well-Being

The third learning series event, held on March 31st, is focused on humane housing. Humane Housing is about stable, safe places to live, and living in diverse, vibrant communities that lead to full, productive lives. People are able to thrive with access to secure, consistent places to live, homes and neighborhoods that are safe from hazards, and neighborhoods that provide access to food and other basic needs, opportunity, and resources that promote healthy living.

Freedom from Trauma, Violence, and Addiction as a Vital Condition for Well Being

The second learning series event, held on November 18th, is focused on freedom from trauma, violence, and addiction. The impacts of trauma, violence, and addiction on human life are far-reaching. Adverse childhood experiences and toxic environments can harm health and well-being across a lifespan and generations. Unfortunately, quality mental health and addiction care has long been difficult to access, hard to afford, and too uncoordinated, and underfunded to provide real healing.

To address our mental, emotional, and social health needs as whole persons, and particularly the loss, trauma, and substance misuse occurring in the wake of COVID-19, we must move toward ensuring everyone has access to integrated, comprehensive, multi-sector, community-based care, solidly anchored in the promotion of mental health and emotional resilience.
