Webinar description:

The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky’s Investing in Kentucky’s Future was a six-year initiative designed to reduce the risk that today’s school-aged children will develop chronic diseases as they grow into adults. The initiative was a partnership between the Foundation and seven local health coalitions in Kentucky to support the capacity of cross sector, community organizations to find local comprehensive, systemic solutions to complex health issues and improve the health of their children and communities. The communities involved addressed the issues of childhood obesity and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

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

1. Coalition support and capacity development to address complex health issues;
2. Community-based approaches to childhood obesity prevention;
3. Innovative school-based interventions to foster resilience in the school setting.
