Well Connect Communities
Notes:
1. We are forgoing connections, building capacity and taking action in communities across the nation and across Cooperative Extension 2. We are helping local health coalitions use combined youth-adult voice and action to recognize and address systemic health inequities in their communities. 3. Across the Extension network we are scaling successful innovations from this work and making institutional shifts in oder to catalyze ambitious changes at local-, state-, and national-level. 4. We believe that the Policy, Systems, and Environmental (PSA) changes that come out of this local and system-level work will advance the nation’s health equity movement so that life -long health and well- being are within everyone’s reach.

We believed that a framework would guide the collective work needed to make sustainable changes in the forces and reactions that give rise to chronic stress detrimental to the physical, mental, and financial well-being of individuals, families and farms. A sustainable change approach to resilient farms and farming population must go beyond teaching an individual or family how to manage stress or the farm to how to address policies, systems, and environments. We chose to ground the framework for risk and resilience in a slightly modified version of the 2014 Cooperative Extension National Health and Wellness Framework (Braun et al., 2014). Our new Integrated Risk and Resilience Extension Framework for Health and Wellness of Farms and Farming Populations, Figure 14, retains the general framework of the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) model . It changes the ultimate outcome to be “resilient farms and farming populations.” Conditional outcomes are now: Healthy Farm Systems and Health Farmers, Farm Families, and Workers. The action or behavior changes remain the same. We added a few content areas to the original priorities for the ECOP model and retained the same Extension Partners.
The 2014 Cooperative Extension National Health and Wellness Framework, and our Integrated Risk and Resilience Extension Framework for Health and Wellness of Farms and Farming Populations present a
