Whole Child International

WHOLE CHILD RECOGNIZES THAT QUALITY OF CARE HAS A PROFOUND IMPACT ON CHILDRENS DEVELOPMENT. AS A RESULT, WHOLE CHILD SPECIALIZES IN RELATIONSHIP-CENTERED CARE FOR CHILDREN - RESPONSIVE, CONSISTENT CARE THAT ENGENDERS STABLE ATTACHMENTS AND TRUSTING BONDS BETWEEN CHILDREN AND THEIR PRIMARY CAREGIVERS. IN ADDITION, WHOLE CHILD UNDERSTANDS THE NEED TO CATALYZE SYSTEMIC CHANGE. WHOLE CHILD HAS DEVELOPED INNOVATIVE AND SCALABLE TOOLS, TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT GOVERNMENTS AND KEY LOCAL PARTNERS TO MAKE LASTING, POSITIVE IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS THE CHILD PROTECTION AND CHILDCARE SYSTEMS. WHOLE CHILD'S INTERVENTION MODEL IDENTIFIES AND LEVERAGES KEY POINTS, STAKEHOLDERS, AND PROCESSES IN THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM TO INDUCE SUSTAINABLE, POSITIVE CHANGE. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO UNDERSTAND THAT IMPROVING THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM DOES NOT MEAN WORKING ONLY WITHIN THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM. WHOLE CHILD WORKS WITH AND ACROSS A SPECTRUM OF STAKEHOLDERS.
