The Massachusetts Model

The Massachusetts Model refers to an approach in public health and education that emphasizes early intervention, comprehensive support, and community involvement to address social issues like crime, health disparities, and education gaps. It focuses on proactive measures, such as prevention and addressing root causes, rather than only responding after problems occur. By integrating services and collaborating across agencies, this model aims to create healthier, safer communities and improve long-term outcomes through coordinated, data-informed strategies.
