A2. Kudos to our wonderful partners across the state! #ItTakesAVillage #CEHchat #CEHDay #CEH365

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 Q4: What creative/nontraditional partnerships, alliances, & support have you seen continue & develop over the past year? Are there exciting recent projects/initiatives you've undertaken that were made possible by partnerships? Let’s celebrate & give them a shout-out!

A6. Health equity must be central to work in children’s environmental health. We are proud to partner with NNPHI & NACHC to build new resources and action that can better support vulnerable communities. More on Climate for Health partnerships: climateforhealth.org/partners/ #CEHchat

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

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

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 Q9: What partnerships or collaborations are you looking forward to in the next year? What accomplishments from these partnerships do you hope we’re celebrating for #CEHday 2023?
