Committing to Our Partners, Our Community

Birth to 22: United for Brighter Futures

BeWellPBC has an active role on Birth to 22 workgroups and holds a seat on the Steering Committee. Some highlights of our workgroup actions include:

•Racial Equity Core Team – Co-hosting Advancing the Mission Learning Cohort for organizations pledging to operationalize and institutionalize racial equity into their work.

•Becoming a Trauma Sensitive Community Workgroup - Promoting education about personal, community, and systemic trauma of youth and their families, and services/supports for a resilient community.

•Get Your Green On Campaign - Co-chairing the countywide planning subcommittee for the campaign focused on mental health awareness and trauma-informed care. May 2022 marked the 7th year of the campaign with approximately 3,000 people participating throughout the month.

Behavioral Health, Substance Use and Co-Occurring Disorder Steering Committee

BeWellPBC provided support to the steering committee that is leading efforts to execute the PBC Board of County Commissioners’ goal to establish a person-centered, recovery-oriented system of care. We were on hand to lend assistance as their strategic plan comes to fruition and new members join.
