Collaboration Impact Area: Violence, Crime & Mental Illness Reduction leading to greater Health, Happiness & Wellness in individuals and billions of dollars in societal cost savings. 

Cause: Putting “civil” back into civilization by restoring socialization skills in children, youth, and adults’ daily behaviors.

Problem: Individuals, influencers, companies, and governments are becoming increasingly divisive and intolerant, leading to increased mental illness, violence, and crime.

Consequence: The lack of civility harms people’s Quality of Life on both sides of the issue while escalating the cost to society in terms of actual dollars.

Solution:Add Planned Acts of Kindness activities into people’s lives through a network of programs and initiatives that form a civility-based support system. Programs start with school children as young as four years old and continue throughout adult life through collaborations with faith-based and non-profit organizations, higher education, companies, and governments.

Corporate Action: Form teams to engage the stakeholders of various target groups, from school children (students, parents, principals, superintendents of education, influencers, mayors, governors) to the incarcerated (families, wardens, superintendents of prisons, congress) to establish quantifiable prevention programs.

By providing programs in schools and prisons for every 100,000 people we prevent from going to prison or returning to prison, we save taxpayers and society *$54.5 billion annually.

• The United States has the largest prison population in the world at 2.2 million incarcerated — equal to the combined total of the two most populous countries in the world China and India. However, China and India have 10 times the population of the United States

• The annual cost of the 2.2 million incarcerated to U.S. taxpayers and society is $1.2 trillion — that’s trillion, not billions

• In comparison, the Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs benefit 154 million Americans annually at a total cost of $1.4 trillion

• One goal of our NPOs is to establish a series of support programs that reduce the prison population and save the American public $54.5 billion for every 100,000 people — money that is desperately needed elsewhere

• But enacting our Quality of Life programs have even greater benefits for People & Society:

Greater Respect • Greater Tolerance • Greater Civility
Less Abusive Behaviors • Better Relationships
Less Anxiety, Loneliness & Depression
Lower Drug Use • Fewer Suicides
Less Mental Health Issues
Lower Violence Rates
Lower Murder Rates
Lower Crime Rates

In Short Happier, Healthier People & Stronger Families, Neighborhoods, Communities, Businesses & Government
