  • Enhance capacity of local health systems to develop and implement strategies that address the root causes of food insecurity.
  • Support and align with efforts to advance development of an equitable and community-led food system.

Vision

Greater Philadelphia is a region that fosters a culture of trauma-informed, healing-centered care. 

To achieve this vision, COACH aims to:

  • Build awareness of the importance of a trauma-informed and healing-centered approach, especially in the context of pressing traumatic experiences such as the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racism.
  • Encourage systems of care and service to anticipate, acknowledge, and respond to past trauma, in order to support healing in health system staff, patients, and communities.
  • Support the development and implementation of trauma-informed and healing-centered practices at participating organizations, including staff training, best practices for care and service delivery, and infrastructure for supportive resources for staff.
