Larimer County Community Health Improvement Plan Progress
Priority Statement: Increase social support and connection for older adults, youth, families, communities of color, LGBTQIA, Veterans, and persons living with disabilities with an emphasis on equity.
Social support can be a shoulder to lean on, an empathetic ear, a ride when you need it, or someone who lets you know about a resource you could use. Some individuals and communities have less access to social support and connection than others because of barriers they encounter that others don’t. A barrier could be a lack of transportation or facing discrimination in some spaces. Increasing social support can help individuals live healthier lives with less stress, especially when they may have other resources limitations like a fixed income.
