Our garden-like process
Getting on the path of equitable social resilience can be confusing. ACBC Consulting is here to guide you every step of the way.
Here at ACBC Consulting, we view the path toward developing equitable social resilience much like tending to a garden:
-
Healthy soil is vital to the success of the seed.
-
When a seed has been planted it must be attended to.
-
A seedling with new roots still has to sprout.
​
Like gardening, the path toward equitable social resilience takes time, patience, and a lot of hard work.
We help to remove the guesswork of when to water with clarifying tools, interactive workshops, and strategic way-finding materials.
​
If you are looking for a check-box solution for basic health equity compliance or the newest language for a PR boost, ACBC is not for you.
​
However, if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and get hacking at hardened, root-bound systems that drain your practice's capacity for progress and success, then we would be honored to dig in with you.
