The Elements of Success
The Living Well Blueprint is organized around five key elements, each focusing on different aspects of the Living Well project. In each element, the Blueprint Reflection serves as a structured evaluation and planning tool across different levels of
individual, provider and state.
For Individuals: It helps with self-assessment, personalized goal-setting, and accountability for personal growth.
For Agencies/Providers: It enhances service delivery, ensures alignment with standards, and supports continuous
improvement in their practices.
For States: It aligns policies with broader goals, optimizes resource allocation, and aids in monitoring and evaluating
the impact of programs and initiatives.
