Point of View
FEATURED POINT OF VIEW BLOG POST
Wellness Is Not a Perk. It’s a Prerequisite for Staff, Leadership and Effective Organizations
Across the country, anxiety and depression are persistently high. In just the past decade, rates of depression increased by nearly 60%, a signal not of a momentary crisis, but of a deeper, structural strain on people and communities. For nonprofits, the policy and funding environments continue to shift, and the pressure on their employees and the communities they serve is intensifying. In this post, we share our emerging efforts to support organizational wellness to ensure the people at the heart of the work — our grantee partners and our own staff — are able to effectively continue the work of improving care for older adults.

OUR GUIDING VALUES
Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion
Archstone Foundation’s mission is to improve health and social care of all older adults in California by partnering with communities to catalyze equitable systems change. At the heart of our work is a commitment to justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Indeed, achieving equity is fundamental to ensuring all older adults age with health, dignity, and well-being.
