Our framework

Our community is made up of the people and places around us—and they are all connected to our well-being.

To understand how the many parts of our community interact and influence our well-being, Toward Common Ground developed a framework in collaboration with the community. This framework organizes the community into eight key elements that influence our well-being.

By examining the past and current state of these elements—and how they are interacting with each other—we can work together more effectively to build a community where everyone can thrive.
