There is a need to shift care models, from value-based ones at the hospitals to relationship-based ones in the community
Healthcare and social care systems often lack understanding of the unique contexts and needs of residents in rental communities, in order to support them effectively. These systems also often approach the community from a needs-based perspective, rather than a strengths-based one.
This gives rise to services, programs and initiatives that are mismatched with the community, which often also disempower them and further the power distance between residents and care professionals.
<aside> 💫 We seek to harness the collective strength of our care systems and communities towards better health and nutrition, to build greater understanding and increase individual and collective agency.

An invitation to listen, connect, reflect and build agency
Using meaningful dialogue and creative facilitation, we nurture equitable relationships and trust with communities━ unveiling and appreciating personal stories, natural networks and collective wisdom.
This is for care professionals & volunteers seeking to strengthen non-traditional care driven by communities, in service of better health outcomes.
