The 100% Community Survey was distributed in Doña Ana County in the late summer and fall of 2019. The survey was initiated by the Doña Ana County Resilience Leaders, a coalition focused on ending the epidemic of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, and social adversity. The coalition follows the 100% Community framework provided by the Anna, Age Eight Institute who groups "vital family services" into two categories: surviving and thriving. The purpose of the survey was to establish a baseline on the level of need and access to these services.
What are surviving and thriving services?
- Surviving services fulfill our basic human needs; safe housing, food, medical care, behavioral health care, and transportation to services.
- Thriving services are those that research shows contribute to resilient and thriving communities; access to parental supports, early childhood education, youth mentors, community schools, and job training.
