Greater Brockton Health Alliance’s focus is on community wellness inclusive of behavioral health and preventative care. The Greater Brockton Health Alliance defines community wellness broadly through a holistic lens working to address the needs of the community in the context of the following areas: social drivers of health, early intervention and prevention, and physical/social/emotional well-being.

Furthermore, GBHA strives to work through a lens of cultural humility which practices beyond cultural competency and acknowledges people’s authority over their own experience as well as acknowledges the power dynamics that contribute to the marginalization of certain groups of people.

Three factors to sojourner cultural humility: Lifelong commitment to self-evaluation and self critique Develop partnerships with people and groups who advocate for others This grant aims to promote health equity within the community by allowing community organizations the framework to create innovative interventions to lift up the voices of those with lived experience to lead community change.

This will serve as a powerful tool to promote equity within a behavioral health context. All grantees will be required to present their projects at a Greater Brockton Health Alliance meeting and complete a mid-year and year-end report. We are here to provide guidance and support throughout the application process.
