Elias: “I understand that systems change can bring positive outcomes for individuals and their families. I wonder how long systems change takes?”
Answer: There is no standard answer.
It depends on the type of change the Council is seeking.
All efforts should be specific and include continued review and evaluation.
Systems change is made up of many steps. Often, you cannot time it, as systems change efforts are ongoing efforts. But even though there are many pieces to systems change, you will need to be specific in your plans – the things you plan to do each year, and each year review and evaluate your progress toward your systems change effort.
