OUR SOCIAL SUPPORT MODEL
Local relationships.
Coordinated support.
Lasting progress.
Our Haitian team works with families and community leaders to understand needs, coordinate support, and review progress over time.
Community empowerment begins with our Social Support Model
Our focus is on long-term solutions, not short-term aid. That’s why Overture is paving the way for a stronger, more independent Haiti by addressing the root causes of poverty and instability through the successful implementation of the Overture Social Support Model. This model is our proven foundation for building Haiti Stronger through empowering Haitians of all ages at individual, family and community levels toward independence and self-reliance. The model is established around community partnerships and locally-driven services, and it is built on our Five Pillars that equip community members with the ability to overcome daily obstacles.
How the model works
Step 1: Establish Community Partnerships
Overture social workers build trusted relationships with families, local leaders, and community organizations to identify essential priority needs.
Step 2: Asses, Plan & Goalset
Social workers work with families and local partners to understand needs and create shared plans to meet specific goals.
Step 3: Coordinate Local Services
Once the community’s plan is developed, Overture connect families with local professionals and community resources.
Step 4: Implement Essential Services
We’ve identified five essential pillars as the building blocks to a stronger Haiti. We support tailored services and resources based on each family or community's goals.
Step 5: Evaluate Results
We follow up with families and partners to assess progress to measure results and adjust support as needs change.
The Outcome: Independence & Self Sufficiency
We empower Haitian families and their communities to remain active and engaged in living fulfilled and independent lives.
