Information
Vision
A world in which every child experiences love, joy, and wonder and grows up to be an adult who can strengthen our communities’ capacity for self-determination, cope with adversity, advance health and well-being for all, steward our planet’s fragile resources, and experience the joy of nurturing the next generation to do the same. Every child is all our children.
Mission
To partner with family-facing providers, researchers, advocates, policymakers, and their institutions to listen to and amplify the unheard voices of babies, children, and families, and to co-create with them practical, incremental solutions to the challenges they express.
Values
The Brazelton Touchpoints Center (BTC) is committed to creating welcoming opportunities for learning and growth through collaborative, strengths-based approaches within its own organization and in its partnerships with all others.
Our Commitment to Community and Belonging
BTC is dedicated to creating a lasting community where all are welcome and belong. At BTC, we come alongside and learn with the infants, children, families, and communities with whom we are honored to work. While we still have much work to do, we see the path to fairness, justice, access, and opportunity for all as a journey — one that we have wholeheartedly embarked on.
We collaborate with families and communities to co-construct approaches to supporting children’s development and well-being, lifting up their expertise in creating the knowledge, skills, and practices they need to raise their own children. In all our work, we partner with communities to promote joy, healing, and affirmation of the resources, strengths, and capacities that have always been present in cultures and traditions.
