Clairton Cares is a collaborative initiative of local residents and service providers committed to organizing an effective network of community health activism to accomplish transformational change in our collective well-being. Our approach recognizes the societal issues of systemic racism and poverty as root causes of the city’s most persistent threats. Following the framework of Trauma Informed Community Development, our approaches includes:

• Organized and accountable resources: coordination of a community-based and wellness-oriented health and human service network
• Advancing programs focused on community healing and leadership development
• Advocacy, in solidarity with residents, for local and regional priorities that promote healthy and resilient communities
