“Buildings are more stable and better able to withstand bad weather when they have a strong foundation. The same can be said for human well-being. People and communities thrive when they have the social relationships, resources, and opportunities that build strong well-being. When well-being is unstable, social stresses like graduating from school, a medical emergency, or having an aging parent who needs care can be catastrophic. While people with a healthy support system can weather the storm, people without enough support often struggle. Cdcac provides services and connects people to resources to empower them to better weather the storm.”
