#CEHchat Q2: Why are #partnerships and collaboration so important for children’s environmental health in particular? Are there unique aspects of the children’s environmental health movement that lend themselves to rich partnerships (or do not)? #CEHday
CEHCHV retweeted
Successful partnerships for children’s environmental health have to be long-term and holistic. Because health outcomes can take time to show up, it is important to build relationships with families and follow-up to ensure children stay on track for a healthy future. #CEHchat
#CEHchat Q3: How do you define a successful partnership or collaboration for children’s environmental health? Since the pandemic, has that definition shifted? Why and how?

Build bridges between leadership and community members! WE ACT regularly facilitates meetings where community members, including youth, can meet city officials, organization leaders, and elected officials to make their voices heard about environmental health issues. #CEHchat
#CEHchat Q8: What advice do you have for accountability in collaborations & partnerships? Any methods for accountability in partnerships with current/historic power imbalances?

City, state, and federal governments need to allocate more funding toward children’s environmental health, specifically in communities of color and low-income, to ensure we have the resources to work together and address environmental exposures in our communities. #CEHchat
#CEHchat Q7:What is one common roadblock to greater authenticity and effectiveness in partnerships, and what lessons have you learned from watching or experiencing past collaborations?

The environmental justice movement is built on the principle of meaningful involvement for people of color and low-income in the decision making process, which can only happen when partnerships exist between community organizations and government agencies/officials. #CEHchat

A4. Addressing racism in our institutional beliefs and practices is key to better serving our communities.

Excellent graphic- remember that children are especially vulnerable to the health impacts of #ClimateChange, even more so Black and Brown children, as well as children from families with low wealth.

So important!
Research from @ScottGBickel showed that when insurance providers switch asthma medications, asthma control worsens for children.
I’m glad to see legislators start to work on this problem.
