Sevier County is working to create sustainable community well-being for all residents by implementing strategies that improve social, emotional, mental, and physical health outcomes for youth, adults, and entire communities. This partnership will concentrate its efforts on well-being in local schools, as they serve as a central axis in connecting families, students, and community members to well-being resources.
What We Do
READINESS ASSESSMENT
Blue Zones experts collaborated with leaders to assess readiness and build a plan for change. During this period, we: educated and mobilized local leaders and residents, evaluated the community’s current state of well-being, identified the highest priority strengths, challenges and opportunities, and produced and presented a plan for community transformation.
