SUMMARY:How Does Climate Change Affect Children's Mental Health?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Children\, Youth & Family Funders Roundtable\, Health & Environmental Funders Network\, and Environmental Grantmakers Association \nClimate change is affecting mental health in myriad ways—from coping with the stressors of trauma to the compounded stress and daily dread of living on a planet in peril. For children\, there can be a sense of loss\, both the real loss of places\, things\, and relationships that are important to them and the perceived loss associated with impending disaster. This webinar explored both the effects of climate change on children’s mental health and the variety of approaches funders can take to build children’s resiliency and support the connections with community\, adults\, and educators that help children cope with uncertainty. \nThis webinar was the first of a series of conversations on environmental justice\, climate change\, and children’s health in partnership with the Children\, Youth & Family Funders Roundtable\, Health & Environmental Funders Network\, and Environmental Grantmakers Association.

SUMMARY:Investing in Transformative Change: Helping States and Communities Align and Deploy Federal Funds
DESCRIPTION:More than a trillion dollars in federal funds are flowing to states and communities across the country through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA); Coronavirus Aid\, Relief\, and Economic Security (CARES) Act; Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA); and FY 2021 appropriations. Designed to bolster public health capacity\, stimulate economic recovery\, and reduce inequities\, these funds represent an unprecedented opportunity to invest in transformative change. Yet many states and communities may not have the capacity to develop strategic\, cross-sector plans or to process and distribute the large amounts of money headed their way. How can philanthropy leverage public-private partnerships to ensure that funds are allocated in an equitable manner\, yield meaningful improvement in community health\, and pave the way for future advancement of social justice goals? This webinar featured Jeffrey Levi of the George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health.  Participants learned more about the scale\, scope\, and distribution of federal COVID funding and explore how health funders are seeking to inform\, influence\, and facilitate forward-thinking investment decisions. \nMaterials: \n\nPresentation by Jeffrey Levi (PDF)\n\nVideo Recording:

SUMMARY:Tools that Heal: Core Competencies for Frontline Complex Care Providers
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nComplex care is a growing field that seeks to improve health and well-being for people with complex health and social needs—those who have multiple\, chronic physical and behavioral health conditions combined with social barriers such as homelessness and unstable housing\, food insecurity\, and lack of transportation that are exacerbated by systemic problems such as racism and poverty. Complex care aims to serve people with complex needs in meeting their own health and well-being goals by coordinating or integrating a wide range of services and supports. While there is growing awareness that complex care has its own foundational knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes\, to date the field has not named or defined a comprehensive set of core competencies. \nDeveloped by the Camden Coalition’s National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs\, the newly released Core Competencies for Frontline Complex Care Providers standardizes and elevates the special skills and abilities that the frontline workforce exhibits each day in serving those with complex health and social needs. In this webinar\, Grantmakers In Aging and Grantmakers In Health discussed the development of these core competencies\, recommendations for strengthening the complex care field\, and opportunities for health and aging philanthropy to support complex care providers. Speakers included Dayna Fondell\, Mark Humowiecki and Carter M. Wilson of National Center for Complex Health and Social Needs\, Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers and Susan Mende of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nPresentation Slides: \nTools that Heal Slides \nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Self-Assessment for Health Foundation Boards
DESCRIPTION:On Demand Webinar \nFoundation trustees are expected to provide oversight and accountability to the organizations they serve and are ultimately responsible for holding themselves accountable for fulfilling these duties.

SUMMARY:Expanding Telehealth Equitably
DESCRIPTION:Telehealth brings health care directly to patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, federal and state government took actions to remove telehealth policy barriers\, which expanded remote health care access\, preserved supplies of personal protection equipment\, and decreased disease exposure for patients and providers. Much has improved over the course of the past year\, but inequities remain\, especially for patients with lack of access to broadband or with limited English proficiency. This timely conversation dives into the regulatory changes that have occurred\, the service expansions that were achieved\, and the future of those improvements. Participants learned telehealth’s limitations and explore how philanthropy can help make this service delivery mode more equitable for all. Speakers included Clese Elaine Erickson of the George Washington University Health Equity Workforce Research Center\, David Jordan of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund\, Marilyn Werber Serafini of the Bipartisan Policy Center\, and Connie Stewart of Humboldt State University. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nExpanding Telehealth Equitably \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Looking Ahead: The New Administration’s Priorities on Children and Families’ Health Coverage
DESCRIPTION:Recent estimates confirm that the COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying economic downturn are causing the most significant health insurance coverage losses in this country’s history.

SUMMARY:Care for the Seriously Ill in Low-Income Communities
DESCRIPTION:Even in the best of pre-COVID times\, access to high quality care for those with serious illnesses is challenging. For those who are homeless\, living on low incomes or in disenfranchised rural communities\, or are otherwise vulnerable\, treatments and supports that effectively manage symptoms\, improve quality of life\, and reduce hospitalization are virtually nonexistent. Join us for a discussion of two trailblazing programs that are addressing the care needs of the most vulnerable and seriously ill. This session explored how each program works\, how palliative care can be effective in addressing disparities and social determinants of health\, and how grantmakers can play a vital role. Speakers included Janet Bull of Project ECHO – Four Seasons and Will Kennedy of CareOregon. \nPresentation: \nInnovations in the Carolinas 1- 7 \nCareOregon Presentation \nAdditional resources: \nhttps://https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2598743 \nhttps://https://catalyst.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/CAT.20.0004 \nhttps://https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/opinion/sunday/palliative-care-homeless-medicaid.html \nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:Roles for Health Funders in Ensuring the Equitable Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccine
DESCRIPTION:As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available\, it is imperative that the vaccine is equitably distributed. National guidance for equitable vaccine distribution has been developed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the National Academy of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine. However\, states will be primarily responsible for distributing vaccines\, including identifying priority populations\, identifying networks of providers who will administer vaccines\, developing data and reporting systems to track distribution\, and coordinating communications efforts to promote vaccine acceptance. In this interactive discussion\, funders learned more about the status of states’ implementation plans and how health funders can aid states in meeting the ethical and logistical challenges to equitable vaccine distribution during all phases of the vaccination effort. Speakers included Michael Fraser of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and Julie Morita of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nHighlighted Resources and Additional Material: \n\nUnderstanding Diverse Communities and Supporting Equitable and Informed COVID-19 Vaccination Decision-Making (NACCHO\, ASTHO\, NIHB\, AIM\, IVS)\nAddressing Hesitancy and Mistrust in Black and Latinx Communities (NAACP and Unidos US)\nLanguage to Improve Vaccine Acceptance (de Beaumont Foundation)\nBuilding Trust in and Access to a COVID-19 Vaccine Within Communities of Color and Tribal Nations (TFAH)\nVaccine Equity webinar (Health Forward Foundation)\nPublic Health Communications Collaborative resources\nEnvironmental Scan of Public Health Priorities (ASTHO)\n\nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Complex Needs Through a Health Equity Lens: What Can Philanthropy Actually Do?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nThe health and well-being of those who have faced a lifetime of structural racism are impacted much more strongly than other groups\, especially as they age; for example\, Black older people are dying from COVID-19 at 3.6 times the rate of older whites. Philanthropy has responded to many immediate needs\, but inequities will continue if the system of discrimination in the social determinants of health does not change. Strong philanthropic investment at the systems level will be required if we are to see fundamental changes. \nParticipants learned about specific efforts to link a systems approach with activities on the ground and to discuss examples of how local communities can make a difference in the lives of those that are usually left behind. Speakers included Carly Hare of Change Philanthropy and Kathryn Lawler of Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement. \nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:Confronting the Health and Equity Challenges of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Health and Environmental Funders Network and Climate and Energy Funders Group \nCommunities of color and economically challenged communities have deep experience confronting multifaceted and interrelated challenges\, which can often fall outside funders’ siloed health\, social\, environmental\, or other objectives.

There are new solutions being pioneered for community health and resilience in the face of climate change and there are new funding strategies to support these efforts. This webinar featured stories and recommendations of community leaders driving this movement. Speakers included Kimberly Lyle of Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation\, Roger Perez of The Roy & Patricia Disney Family Foundation\, Liz Russell of Foundation for Louisiana\, Mona Sarfaty of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health\, Kirsten Shead of Milwaukee Water Commons\, and Taylor Thomas of East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice. \nThis webinar was part of the Health and Environmental Funders Network’s 2020 annual convening. \n \n
