Nurturing Child Well-Being: Educating Communities on Social Determinants of Health
Mission of the project
The social determinants of health- economic stability, healthcare, food security, education, community, and neighborhood/environment- all have a big impact on the health outcomes of children. Our mission is to educate healthcare providers, parents, teachers, and community members on how these factors can impact children's health, and provide community resources that can help improve health outcomes.
