Major Themes of the Strategic Plan
Prevention
Continued but deliberate shift upstream with an emphasis on prevention
Family
Recognition and commitment to family as the critical asset for child well-being
Equity
A more intentional focus on racial and social equity to disrupt the cycle of poverty and child maltreatment
Blueprint for Impact: Our Strategic Foundation
We will replace what we currently think of as child welfare services with what we know to be child, family and community well-being solutions.
We believe the most important asset for child and youth well-being is the family.
We believe racial and social equity is foundational.
We believe discrimination in all forms influences perceptions of families’ strengths and abilities which can lead to actions and interventions ultimately harmful to child and youth wellbeing.

Brightpoint: Mission, Vision & Values
Mission
We advance the well-being of children by investing in families to disrupt the systemic and multi-generational cycle of racial, social and economic inequality.
Vision
We envision an equitable world where all children and families thrive in strong communities.
Our Values (Our Scope)
Strong Families
Family, in all forms, is the most important asset for child well-being.
Community
Thriving families are part of a larger system of social supports which must be just, equitable and accessible.
Opportunity
All children should thrive and opportunity should not be predicted by race or zip code.
Partnership
All families have strengths, and our role is to partner with them as coaches, mentors and advocates to build on those strengths.
Equity
Equity is foundational to our work, and we seek to disrupt and transform inequitable institutional systems so that people of all races, abilities, communities and identities have equal access to the resources necessary to thrive.
