Expanding community support services

Supporting informal community services
Enabling community support activities

Description

Expanding community support services involves increasing the availability, accessibility, and quality of local resources that address social, health, and economic needs. This strategy aims to remedy gaps in care, reduce social isolation, and empower vulnerable populations by providing practical assistance, information, and advocacy. By strengthening networks of support, communities can respond more effectively to crises, promote well-being, and foster resilience, ultimately improving quality of life and reducing systemic inequalities.
