This document was created out of interviews with over 15 community leaders in the Twin County region between May-July 2020. Leaders identified Safety & Peace, Love & Support, Trust in Public Institutions, and Parent & Family Engagement as 4 things necessary for our community to be healthy. Each of these 4 things have their own tab with numbers to measure if we are making progress. These numbers were chosen by asking community members in a focus group what they feel like leads to each of the 4 things listed above and what happens as a result.This document is specific to Edgecombe County. Please click below for visual tools that tells a fuller story and provides calls to action/ next steps. You can also email Gretchen directly at gemason@live.unc.edu for more information.
