This ecosystem, with three different "anchor wellness hubs" across the County, will address prevention, early intervention, crisis aversion, stabilization and acute care, and recovery by focusing on whole person care, mental health, and well-being. To date, Be Well OC has engaged more than 100 organizations across multiple sectors, including public and private health care, law enforcement, elected leaders, academic and faith communities, and businesses large and small. Be Well Orange County is advancing a distributed model of leadership and driving county-wide, community-centric action. Going forward, the coalition will focus on significantly improving crisis care for Orange County via a first- of-its-kind Regional Wellness Hub, and establishing a foundation for a new county-wide system of care, one driven by cross-sector partnerships toward the Blueprint's common vision. This Regional Hub will be a potential model for other communities. To activate the Blueprint, Be Well OC will empower backbone and impact organizations, forging a fundamental shift in how Orange County works together to meet big needs. Success in this area will create demonstrable new workflows and partnerships with metrics on outcomes, experience, and cost. Equally importantly, success also will create a new narrative for a community long at odds with each other in the face of increasing mental health needs, strained resources, outdated policies, and adversarial politics. 18 | Well Being Trust | 2018 Annual Report
