Population-Level Result Areas of Thriving

(strategic-level indicators of thriving):

• Children, Youth, and Families are safe and healthy: this result will have a set of indicators focused on the promotive and protective factors; physical, mental, emotional health and wellness; children’s lived experiences with a focus on understanding and prevention of abuse and neglect
• Children, Youth, and Families are ready for and successful in educational and career opportunities: this result will have a set of indicators focused on readiness and success as children grow from infancy through early adulthood regarding their education and their career pathways; also included here are readiness and success with regard to job opportunities for those supporting their families.
• Children, Youth, and Families experience economic stability: this result will have indicators focused on access to and affordability of key resources such as housing, food, clothing, and other basic needs. The availability of jobs that pay a living wage is part of this area as well.
