The BARHII Action Lab Presents

Transforming Community Coalitions to

Unlock Upstream Investments in Health

National Community of Practice
September - November 2024

Do you want to help your department’s community coalition partners find more funding for their health equity priorities? Are you interested in shaping your community health planning activities and power building efforts so residents can become drivers of their financial future?

Join our new community of practice for public health departments across the country!

This three-month national program will help your department leverage planning processes to:

  • Attract investment in upstream health solutions, such as housing justice, economic well-being, and culture.

  • Develop powerful multi-sector collaboratives that are positioned to harness new funding opportunities.

  • Ensure local voice in investments via strong community governance.

We’ll offer tools, connections, and practice space with colleagues across the country. Together, this cohort will explore how to solve complex implementation challenges and scale up promising practices, with solutions designed for local contexts.

    • Local public health department staff, especially those who work with communities impacted by inequities or support health planning efforts.

    • Staff from related fields such as Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MCAH), Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), and local government offices of equity.

  • The community of practice kicks off in September with optional office hours in August. All sessions are 10am-11:30am PST.
