Home MenuThe "BeeHive"
The goal of the BeeHive is to anchor the voice of lived experts to support the creation of Beloit community-based solutions inspired by the IdeaBook. BeeHive members help to promote and support family wellness and prevent separation and entry into the child protective system. Because their participation was so successful, the role of the BeeHive members has shifted from short-term group participants to independent contractors. The BeeHive is able to anchor the voice of lived experts in this systems change movement by creating a safe, peer-led atmosphere where members can express freely their life fears, aspirations, and dreams, and receive peer encouragement, support, and accountability.
