Parent Supports@100%: How we ensure all county residents can access parent support programs
Special Edition: Excerpt from 100% Community by Katherine Ortega Courtney, PhD and Dominic Cappello
The book explores the impact of isolation and lack of support for parents of newborns and young children, and how county systems can be increased to ensure that all parents benefit from many forms of support. Parent Supports@100% details how county leaders can collaborate to ensure that a countywide system of parent support programs is created from existing and new local parent programs, to meet the needs of all county residents.

A Groundbreaking Strategy: 100% Community guides the movement to ensure safe childhoods
100% Community is the nation’s first data-driven, cross-sector and county-focused strategy developed to end the epidemic of adverse childhood experiences, trauma and social adversity. 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.
Ending childhood trauma starts with you and the radically simple lessons of 100% Community.
