The Wake County Youth Well-being Profile was compiled by Youth Thrive and its Data Action Team. The document provides a snapshot of conditions for Wake County youth and is not considered a comprehensive youth assessment. The Profile contains information in seven domains – Academic, Vocational, Civic, Social, Emotional, Physical and Safety – which often affect the well-being of children and youth.
Youth Thrive's vision is for all young people in Wake County to become thriving adults. Our mission is to foster and maintain a sustainable community partnership that promotes the success of youth, ages 5–18, in Wake County.

The Regional Network of Care includes actively involved community leaders and partners. Citizen groups are a critical component in the Network as they work with staff leaders to identify priorities and horizon issues for the community.
Wake County is poised to be a national leader in population health. By taking a broader view of community health and looking beyond medical care to such social determinants as housing, transportation, education, employment, social support, culture and the physical environment, we can begin to focus the county’s extraordinary assets toward creating a healthier environment to improve the health and well-being of all our residents.
In 2017, the Wake County Board of Commissioners appointed the Population Health Task Force to clarify this vision. With the enthusiastic support of the county’s health care providers, service agencies and partner organizations, the Task Force has created a blueprint for placing population health at the center of our shared efforts.
