Pikes Peak United Way Quality of Life Indicators

 

Quality of Life Indicators


The data, or indicators, are quantitative measures of the quality of community life. They reflect a combination of idealism (what we would like to measure) and pragmatism (what we are able to measure) in nine different categories, which reflect a comprehensive view of the community.

 

Family Support & Parent Education

Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports. -Bernice Weissbourd


Family SupportThe relationship between children and their families is the foundation upon which children's lives depend. The care and support of the family is crucial to a child's overall successful development. By providing support and information to families, the Alliance for Kids ensures that each child has that necessary foundation. We collaborate with the providers of early childhood services, and the families they serve, to ensure that the children of El Paso County have what is required to succeed in school and life.

  • Strong families and healthy children create thriving communities.
  • Every parent needs support at home, at work and throughout the community, from families, friends, neighbors and community resources.

We recognize that true partnership occurs when parents and families have the support they need along with the knowledge and skills to function in leadership roles. 

The Alliance for Kids Family Support and Parent Education Committee is excited to partner with CFERT to provide parents resources and training that will help build a strong and capable community. Go to What's Happening at the Alliance for more information.
