What is a Community Anchor?
It is a steadying stronghold within a community where people experiencing crises and needs can find support. An anchor serves as a connection to resources, support systems, and a unifying platform that removes barriers to information, services, and opportunities.
What is Resilience?
Resilience is the ability to cope with, adapt to, and overcome adversity. Individuals, families, organizations, and entire cultures can build resilience.
We Are Equity In Action!
We cannot always change the circumstances through which a person must journey, but we CAN help strengthen their ability to overcome hardships and reduce the effects by connecting supportive resources and networks.
Anchors build resilience in their communities by empowering the community to define its needs, building choices into the process of addressing the needs, and taking the journey to well-being side-by-side.
