Prioritizing Possibilities in Policy, Research, and Practice

Research has uncovered unprecedented possibilities to advance improvements in child and family well-being by addressing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), promoting resilience, and fostering the social and emotional roots of healthy child development and lifelong health. Our National Prioritizing Possibilities Agenda synthesizes recommendations to address these issues in children’s health services.

We Are the Medicine® Framework

Healing is upon us, within us, and between us. The We Are the Medicine® (WAM) framework recognizes the need and possibility to dramatically improve child, family, and community flourishing by fostering the relational and emotional roots of well- being. It shines a light on our innate capacity to flourish even in the midst of adversity and highlights actions we can take right now to move toward healing and transformation.
