A Framework Rooted in Action and Change
What does a Safe and Well Community mean to Waterloo Region?
It is a community that feels safe, valued, and has the ability to express themselves freely. It recognizes that communities know their needs best, feel empowered to meet them, and have the resources to do so. It acknowledges and celebrates that family means different things to different people, and that the circle of support around someone is unique.
Lastly, it holds systems accountable to deliver culturally safe, and trauma-informed services that contribute to a safe and well Waterloo Region for all.
