Beyond Prevention: Building Communities Where Everyone Can Thrive

Join us at the Windsor Public Library for an interactive community conversation lead by Sam Forbes, MA exploring the conditions that help children, youth, and adults build healthy, connected, and fulfilling lives. Drawing from research on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and the HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) framework, participants will learn how supportive relationships, safe environments, meaningful engagement, and opportunities for emotional growth contribute to lifelong health and well-being.

Together, we'll explore where these strengths already exist in our community and consider how a wide range of people, organizations, and community spaces contribute to creating them. Through guided discussion and reflection, participants will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, learn from one another, and imagine new possibilities for strengthening community well-being.
