Brief Description
Systems building refers to a process in which collaborative groups understand and take actions to shift interacting system root causes (e.g., mindsets, goals, decision-making, policies, connections, etc.) in ways that bring about improved outcomes and reduced disparities for children and families. The particular system root causes affecting a given set of child and family outcomes differ from place to place and require systems building/change strategies to be customized to fit the local context.
Expected Impact
- Shifts in dynamic system root causes work together to build the supportive ecosystem to improve outcomes for children and families relevant to identified community needs.
