Value-Based Messages for Health Equity in Public Policy: How to Effectively Communicate with All Policy Makers

This webinar has been recorded and can be viewed here. 

Presenter:  Christine Compton, MPH; Policy Engagement Manager; American Heart Association/Voices for Healthy Kids

Webinar description:

The details and local stories that policy advocates layer in about health equity vary, but the core messages need to stay the same.  Consistency is a powerful asset in our collective work. If advocates across West Virginia deliver similar messages to decision-makers, colleagues, and supporters—the conversation about health equity will begin to shift. A health equity lens should be applied to all policy work to eliminate disparity and create impactful, measurable results.

Webinar objectives:

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

1. Describe how communications anchored in shared values helps create common ground for policy development around health equity;
2. Understand how to address race and racism without creating discrimination based on color; and
3. Understand how to talk about government’s role in addressing health equity.
