Health

Trauma-informed approaches to achieve better physical and mental health outcomes for the students, families, and stakeholders of the communities served are essential for individual well-being and quality of life, and it is also important for economic development and social stability.
Our System
IKIGAI
This system and strategy are designed to inspire and encourage students, families, and stakeholders of the communities we serve, to live a quality of life that will help them live a life of character, faith, endeavoring, respect for others, and refraining from violent behavior. We utilize our guiding principles and the D.I.K.I.W. (Data, Information, Knowledge, Intelligence, and Wisdom) Hierarchy model to help our students, families, and stakeholders to receive, process, and translate data in a way that is relatable and easy for them to internalize. We believe that all data can be useful, however, interpretation is the key to being able to use any piece of data to gather a useful understanding for evolving. This mindset for a community to operate from is the proper mindset to create and preserve community wealth that can be sustained for future generations. This is the foundation of building communities from the inside out to be resilient and focused on the process of evolving in harmony with the digital and natural worlds in a peaceful and balanced way. This flagstone product of Evolve Community Foundation Inc. allows us to harmoniously integrate all our programs, products, and initiatives into the communities we serve in an honorable and dignified way. This is the foundation and philosophy of our B.E.A.C.H. Life Game, Our B.E.A.C.H. Life Clubs, Our Therapeutic Retreat and Wellness Tours, Our Peace Pond Project, Our Therapeutic Landscape Company, Our Partnerships, Our Digital Media Services, Coaching and Training Service, and our Business Incubation, and Workforce Development Programs.
