Our Framework: The Vital Conditions
Too many people in North Central Washington are struggling and suffering.
Urgent services like emergency departments, food banks, and addiction treatment programs are a crucial part of the solution. Anyone might need them in a time of crisis. But urgent services can’t by themselves produce health and wellbeing. For that, we need to build up the Vital Conditions that are essential for thriving.
Each vital condition is connected to the others. When they decline, it drives demand for urgent services. By strengthening them, we can help people avoid crises and lead their best possible lives. We can’t wait until people are in crisis. We need to work upstream. Thriving Together NCW uses the Vital Conditions as an organizing framework for doing that in a strategic way.
