From Response to Resilience: How will we advance equitable well-being together?
North South ACH Partner Convening August 2020
We begin by acknowledging, with humility, that the land where we are today is the territory of the People of the Salish Sea.
Their presence is imbued in the waterways, shorelines, valleys and mountains of the traditional homelands of the Coast Salish People.
Since Time Immemorial...

ReflectionA Brave and Startling Truth
We, this people, on this wayward, floating body
Created on this earth, of this earth

Can live freely without sanctimonious piety
Without crippling fear

I have an inherent belief that the more we take care of the people in our community, the better our economy and our society will be.
Liz BaxterNorth Sound Accountable Community of Health
When we remember that we need to gather ourselves in the spirit of the moment and the spirit of our ancestors, the spirit of all living things, and in the spirit of Mother Earth—then I think we have a real foundation for change.

REDUCING SUFFERING, IMPROVING THRIVING
Distributed leadership and shared power in each other’s movements and through movements led by others who are advancing well-being and equity.
1. Understand the Complexity
● Data is everything. Need for disaggregated data, frequent updates and forecasting to predict
trends. NS, need better segmentation to reflect tribal other community characteristics.
● Hyper-local visibility. Community impacts and response vary widely depending on location. Need
to see differences in order to tailor response.
● Respect individual experience. Ultimately, numbers are people. Urgency and impact can be
increased with focus on individuals.
2. Coordinate and Collaborate
● Coordinate and align. Multiple organizations/stakeholders already have existing expertise which
can be brought to bear.
● Plan for scenarios. Strategies created today need to account for what the need will be in 6-12
months.
● Recognize basic needs come first. Addressing higher-order barriers requires that basic needs are
covered.
● Make big impact by focusing locally. Community-based solutions will be more responsive and
faster than large federal programs.
3. Action: communicate, iterate, scale
● Share information. Building momentum and engagement requires telling the story of how things
are changing. Mix metrics with case-studies. Success and failures
● Evaluate every 6 months. This crisis is moving fast, so changes to strategy need to happen in
months, not years.
● Expand the coalition. As the situation stabilizes, seek opportunities to increase outreach/services
by including new partners.

Unique Data Challenges for the North Sound● Tribal communities face dual challenges; lack of state data sovereignty and delay of federal
dollars to support engagement/reporting.
● Poverty may be the most import indicator of significant impacts, but is rarely
disaggregated. 70% of WA population is non-hispanic white, however impacts amongst
white population a very unevenly distributed. .
● Historic data silos and barriers to data sharing will make it challenging to get and combine
data necessary for holistic frameworks like the Seven Vital Conditions.
● Semi-urban, small communities, and tribal communities face systemic data collection
challenges. Understanding local characteristics in NS communities will take longer than
King County, others.
Needs assessments must be done differently● Most organizations need to quantify community/population needs in some form in the next 12
months.
● Needs assessments must be an ongoing process, rather than a one time report.
● Use high-level analysis frameworks, like the Seven Vital Conditions for Community Health and
Well-being, to combine immediate crisis metrics with perspective on structural barriers.
● Community level scenario modeling for social determinants. Expand COVID capacities to social
determinants.
● Improved data sharing, especially around ‘leading’ indicators which are more sensitive to
weekly/monthly changes.

Process
Data Community for Change Initiative
The aim of this initiative is to bring together data minds from across the North Sound region, novice to expert, to rethink and improve upon how we use data and information to drive change.
Discussion Questions
1. What is a past legacy (norm, action, decision) we have inherited that’s a barrier to our equitable well-being? OR What is a new legacy we hope to pass to future generations?
2. What are a few pivotal moves that will help community members most impacted by COVID to recover with greater well-being (not just to the status quo)?
3. What are the keys to ensuring North Sound ACH partners are able to successfully work together to ensure all people and all places are thriving?
