Caregiver-Clinic-Community Model
THRIVE connects the people and organizations surrounding families so they can more easily find and access the resources, services, and opportunities available to them.
What happens when families, healthcare, and community work together?
The Caregiver-Clinic-Community (CCC) Model brings caregivers, healthcare providers, and community organizations together to create stronger, more connected support for children and families.
By connecting the people and systems surrounding families, the CCC Model helps ensure that family voice, healthcare, and community resources are part of the same conversation.
Why This Model?
Families shouldn’t have to navigate disconnected systems alone.
A family’s health and well-being are shaped by much more than what happens during a healthcare visit.
Families may also rely on childcare providers, schools, community organizations, social services, and other trusted relationships. When these systems work separately, families can be left to navigate the gaps between them.
The CCC Model creates opportunities for these groups to work together, with families at the center.
Three Parts.
One Connected Approach.
01.
CAREgivers
Families are at the center.
Caregivers bring lived experience, priorities, and expertise that are essential to understanding what families need.
The CCC Model creates meaningful opportunities for caregivers to share their perspectives, participate in decision-making, and help shape programs and services.
02.
CLINIC
Healthcare providers are trusted partners.
Healthcare providers see families at important moments and can help identify needs that may extend beyond the clinical setting.
The CCC Model strengthens connections between healthcare providers and the community resources that can support families beyond the appointment.
03.
COMMUNITY
Community organizations expand the network of support.
Community organizations provide resources, relationships, programs, and services that families rely on every day.
The CCC Model helps connect these organizations with families and healthcare providers so support is more coordinated and accessible.
How It Works
