All Families Are Ready
A CORE Collaborative

About the Team
The All Families Are Ready Team is one of the 5 CORE (Creating Open Roads to Equity) Collaboratives funded through the United Way of Snohomish County. Like the other collaboratives spread across the county, this team is taking a collaborative, two-generational approach to supporting Casino Road families with young children ages prenatal - 8 and shifting the systems that serve them towards more equitable approaches.
At the heart of this model is a Family Coordinator and a Family Counselor who work together alongside children and caregivers to build the confidence, skills, connections, and resilience families with young children need to thrive.

Team Mission
We work alongside families to help them identify and replace the cycles and patterns that aren’t serving them, while also embracing and strengthening the ones that do, from their perspective.
We help families cultivate the independent ability to thrive. Families will develop and embrace the confidence, tools, knowledge, & skills to reach their goals. From this work, we learn to identify the mindsets, policies, and practices within our community that must shift or be reimagined in order to support families throughout Casino Road in cultivating and preserving positive generational cycles.
If we do this work well, families we never come in contact with will benefit from the systems-shifting work of AFAR.
