About Oregon Health and Education Collaborative

The mission of the Oregon Health and Education Collaborative is to disrupt intergenerational cycles of trauma and adverse experiences, particularly in historically marginalized populations, by supporting community-based collaboration between partners that will achieve positive outcomes in health and education for all children. The Collaborative’s first effort is an Upstream Initiative: A Focus on the First 1000 days of life. The Upstream Initiative: A Focus on the First 1000 Days has three components: 1. Identify and support four community-based design pilots to co-imagine and create the blueprint for a Child Success Model. 2. Create a learning collaborative to elevate and amplify the work of the design pilots. 3. Use the design pilots and learning collaborative as the basis for legislative proposals to begin to scale the Child Success Model across the state. A Child Success Model will be a new governance or coordinating structure that will ensure that the services, supports, interventions and protective factors needed for a child to succeed reach upstream to the first 1000 days of life, then follow the child and their family across the community and over time in a culturally responsive way, to prepare a child and their family to successfully enter the education system. The vision for the Upstream Initiative, a focus on the first 1000 days, is that partners in healthcare and education will collaborate to implement sustainable Child Success Models that can eliminate health and educational disparities that are based on race, zip code, and socio-economic status.

It's going to take all of us to fix the fragmented system that our children are wandering.
