Strengthening systems to support good lives across the lifespan.
Throughout life, people and families interact with many different organizations, services, and systems. The LifeCourse Nexus works across these areas to strengthen person- and family-centered practices, build organizational capacity, and create stronger connections between systems. Through Charting the LifeCourse, we help organizations build on the work they are already doing to create lasting change and better outcomes for people, families, and communities.
Charting the LifeCourse is used across many areas of practice to support transformational change. These six impact areas highlight where CtLC is being applied today to strengthen practice and expand possibilities.
