Help when analysing the presentationReduce significant threat (e.g. safe stable environment including increase supportive housing, nutritious food & family supports; reduce parental addictions & mental illness, prenatal risks, bullying, domestic violence, child maltreatment)

Support human development (e.g. child’s ability to form attachments including supportive adults/peers, to master skills, develop executive functioning & problem solving, to self regulate, be optimistic—supported by strong parenting)

Support assets and protective factors (e.g. promote health, normalize vs. institutionalize, support strengths of kids & families, use range of services & supports customized to child & family, especially through transitions, culturally appropriate, create engagement, every door is the right door)

Create a Compassionate Community (e.g. inclusive, responsive; Goals and actions must be aligned and mutually reinforcing across all aspects of community life so that communities themselves become developmentally rich contexts for growing up on a path to a hopeful, productive future)
