Children and Youth Action Focus

Improved focus on health of children and youth.
Republic’s primary vision for most of this project has been trying to obtain a facility to house child care providers, youth center, elders a place to go and volunteer their time.
Ferry County only has one day care that can house approximately 6-9 children.
There is no youth center in town and our elders seem to have no place other than the hospital to volunteer their time.

Learn how adverse childhood experiences affect physical, mental and behavioral health and how adverse childhood experiences interfere with the academic success and social development of children and youth.

HOW WILL THIS ADDRESS POVERTY?
Adverse childhood experiences are affecting our children and having a direct correlation to their involvement in crime, drugs and alcohol abuse, and abusive relationships. We want to help educate our community on this issue, as well as start laying the foundation for a proactive response.
