Who We Are
Fayette FACTOR is a nonprofit organization that serves as a hub for community collaboration, bringing together local organizations, leaders, and stakeholders to improve conditions for
children and families. We are part of the Georgia Family Connections Partnership (GaFCP), a statewide network of 159 county collaboratives.
“FACTOR is to the Human Services Community what the Chamber of Commerce is to the Business Community.”
Mission Statement
Fayette FACTOR convenes community stakeholders to assess and strategically improve the health and well-being of local residents.
Vision
A collaborative community, committed to sustaining the highest quality of life and well-being for all residents.
How We Work
At Fayette FACTOR, we use the strategic prevention framework as our guiding principle to achieve our desired outcomes. These principles are as follows:
- Assessment: Identify local prevention needs based on data (e.g., What is the problem?)
- Capacity: Build local resources and readiness to address prevention needs (e.g., What do you have to work with? How can you facilitate the communication of prevention science?)
- Planning: Find out what works to address prevention needs and how to do it (e.g., What should you do and how should you do it?)
- Implementation: Deliver evidence-based programs and practices as intended (e.g., How can you and your coalition put your plan into action?)
- Evaluation: Examine the process and outcomes of programs and practices (e.g., Is your plan succeeding?)
Key Initiatives
Our Approach - Upstream Thinking
