The brief outlines approaches to doing the intentional and systematic work that is required to counteract the structural barriers human services systems have fostered.
The document calls for redesigning human services systems to promote equitable recovery and long-term repair by addressing and dismantling structural racism and bias, especially affecting Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities.
It highlights the need to reverse harmful policies, center family and community voices in decision-making, use data to advance equity, and apply brain science to mitigate toxic stress, all aimed at fostering intergenerational mobility and well-being for marginalized groups.
