Special Edition: Excerpt from 100% Community by Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello

A Groundbreaking Strategy: 100% Community guides the movement to ensure safe childhoods

It provides the insights, frameworks and concrete steps for change agents within governmental and nongovernmental systems to build the capacity to increase the health, safety and resilience of children, students and families.
