Bermuda Communities are the symbols of the Bermudian national spirit of unity in diversity. Although the communities in Bermuda are often at variance with each other yet it is wonderful how any real crisis brings out the very best in the Bermudians of all ethnological denominations . Living side by side together on a tiny Island in the mid Atlantic makes for a tight knit community, in many ways more closely than most. Bermudian communities have a inviolable sense of charity – of pity and empathy for others.
When there is a crisis somewhere communities in Bermuda contribute more, per capita, than just about any other country in the world. But it's not just an outwardly-focused urge. If a family here is in trouble, a call for help will usually bring the whole of Bermuda communities running to see what they can do to help.
PACT or Parishes Achieving Change Together is the Bermuda posting of a prevention-based youth improvement system called
Communities That Car e.
The Department of National Drug Control is the sponsoring agency.
The Family Center is the main organization signed on by
The Department of National Drug Control to facilitate introduction of the system throughout Bermuda communities. PACT is a
Bermuda community action framework grounded on years of research, which takes a
systematic way to community building. It focuses on both
advancing affirmatory youth development and stopping problem behaviors and helps Bermuda
communities to
prioritize risk, preventive factors and also helps communities the proper data collection.
