The Village System of Care · proven results

A prototype that's ready to scale.

The Village Approach was built and tested through The Village of Care (TVOC), a trauma-informed system of care for youth and families in Florida's most underserved ZIP codes. Over a 3-year funding cycle (2022–2025), with partners including FAMU, USF TAC, and local government, TVOC outperformed state and national benchmarks.

Free mental health & LIFE screenings

Need LIFE? Pre-LIFE Deficiency Scale

Shows where Love, Identity, Foundation, or Encouragement may be running low, so you know where to build.

Background matters

ACEs: Adverse Childhood Experiences

The ACEs questionnaire comes from the landmark CDC–Kaiser Permanente study of more than 17,000 adults. It asks 10 yes-or-no questions about experiences before age 18, such as abuse, neglect, or growing up with household challenges like addiction, mental illness, divorce, or incarceration.

Higher scores are linked to greater risk of health, emotional, and life challenges later on.
Your score is not a diagnosis and does not define you.
Safe, stable relationships and support can buffer the impact of ACEs. That's what the Village is for.
