UNITE DFW
The North Texas Flourishing Initiative.
No one walks alone.
The North Texas Flourishing Initiative is uniting leaders from every sector, frontline workers, and caring neighbors into local networks — so everyone has access to what they need to flourish.
THE NEED & OUR APPROACH
From Crisis Navigation to Early Prevention
While we equip networks to help families navigate crisis, our primary goal is getting ahead of it—fostering holistic flourishing within the everyday relationships people already have at home, school, work, and church.

WHAT MAKES UNITE DIFFERENT
Every county follows the same six steps
Unite isn't just another program layered on top of the existing ones. It's a methodology for connecting what already exists in a county — our goal is to unify. Here's exactly how it works.
STEP ONE
01
Identify Champions
Each Zone begins by identifying a neutral convener who feels responsible for the holistic flourishing of everyone in their Zone and believes in the contribution of every sector, organization, and individual.
STEP TWO
02
Map Local Assets & Track Partner Health
Catalog every local church, nonprofit, school, and business, identifying key "places to belong" across the 3 of the 4 Pathways (School, Work, and Faith Community). Deploy assets as needs are identified, and conduct regular flourishing assessments to ensure leader and staff health.
STEP THREE
03
Train the Multi-Sector Network
Equip neighbors, coworkers, educators, healthcare professionals, government and nonprofit workers low-wage employers, and ministry leaders with foundational training on empathy, healthy relationships, and the multi-sector ecosystem—including our COPE training and HelpFinder’s Flourishing Assessment tools.
STEP FOUR
04
Deploy Resource Coordinators & Teams
Activate trained Resource Coordinators using HelpFinder case management and CarePortal. Reassess families every 30–90 days while teaching neighbors to self-navigate local resources.
STEP FIVE
05
Maintain Regular Network Alignment
Convene Regional Champions and partners bimonthly to build relationships, celebrate successes, strategize, and learn together, maintaining regular communication between meetings.
STEP SIX
06
City & County Wide Integration
Gather regional networks 1–2 times per year at the city or county level to celebrate milestones, share best practices, and align broader policy/resource efforts.
