National Reframing Initiative: Building broader public support for human services
People who choose a life of caring — and the organizations and communities they serve — deserve a special kind of support.
Human services play a vital role in our communities. Yet many community-based organizations (CBOs) struggle to marshal the resources and public engagement needed to address complex issues like homelessness, aging, and abuse.
Since 2012, the National Human Services Assembly’s National Reframing Initiative has changed the conversation to make human services a national priority. Based on a multiyear study, the Initiative's Building Well-Being Narrative has proven to significantly increase public understanding of human services and why they are critical for a vibrant society.
You will learn how to address stereotypes around "charity," the reasons some people "depend" on human services, and who "deserves" these services, so that you can build consensus and understanding in your community.
