Success By 6, Ottawa

Success By 6 has endorsed the Framework for Promoting Healthy Child and Youth Development which was established by the Children and Youth Agenda (CYA), an initiative led by the United Way/Centraide Ottawa and the City of Ottawa.
We believe that families, community, schools and neighbourhoods as well as public policy decision makers, all have a role in enabling children to achieve their optimal development.
The framework encompasses the five priority areas that Success By 6 has previously promoted: supporting parents, promoting healthy births, promoting early learning and school readiness, promoting the protection of children from abuse and neglect, and supporting neighbourhoods and building safe and caring communities.
Building on the Middle Childhood Matters’ Framework, the CYA project team created the Framework for Promoting Healthy Child and Youth Development. Success By 6 was an active participant in the process. The framework is grounded in evidence-based research and following consultation with children, youth, parents, caregivers and service providers.
