It's National Public Health Week! This year, we're diving into the theme that echoes loud and clear: "Protecting, Connecting, and Thriving: We Are All Public Health." Today, our spotlight shines on Civic Engagement. Think about it: every vote cast, every voice heard in town halls, every hand raised in volunteer activities, shapes the very fabric of our community. It's not just about ticking boxes; it's about sculpting a healthier, more vibrant future for us all. And guess what? Studies prove it! States with higher voter turnout tend to boast better public health outcomes. So, how can YOU help supercharge your community's civic spirit? Here are some power moves: Get out there and VOTE! And while you're at it, rally your squad - friends, colleagues, neighbors - to join in. Let's turn up the volume on our collective voice! Spread the word. Educate your peeps on the significance of voting, attending town halls, and getting involved in local activities. Remind them that every action they take helps sculpt the policies that shape our community's well-being. Make your workplace a voter-friendly zone. Did you know that some states legally mandate time off for voting? Yep, it's true! Find out if your state is one of the cool kids and if not, nudge your employer to jump on board. Flexibility for voting isn't just a perk; it's a testament to your company's values! Know the lay of the land. Familiarize yourself with your state's voting policies. Are they inclusive? Do they welcome everyone to the ballot box with open arms? Policies like same-day registration and online voter registration foster healthier, more equitable communities. And let's talk about those barriers - like felon disenfranchisement. They've got to go! Let's work towards a system that uplifts every voice. Together, let's make waves in our communities and pave the way for a brighter, healthier future! Dive deeper into the action at www.NPHW.org #NPHW. Let's do this!

If you were at the Bonnyville Friendship Centre's MMEIP & Stolen Children Vigil on October 4th, 2023, you heard me introduce a new project we are spearheading! The Intergenerational GBV Engagement project will have three main components. Identify, Heal and Change. This project will identify Gender-Based Violence in each respective community by eliminating barriers for participation. Our goal, is to work alongside each respective communities Health Directors as well as Chief and Council to provide support as needed, to engage participants within each community to come and share their experiences. By identifying Gender-based violence in communities and hearing individuals' experiences, we can outline a plan of action to provide services for any gaps in programming and policy. By using cultural healing practices, we will provide barrier-free Sharing Circles, Community Feasts, Pipe Ceremonies and Missing, Murdered or Exploited Peoples Vigils, like we are today. To raise awareness, speak our truth and say the names of those we have lost, to gender-based violence. Together, we will make lasting changes to Gender-Based Violence policy in our communities. We will create trauma informed resources, supports and bridge the gap between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous peoples, agencies, first responders and communities to end Gender-Based Violence. We welcome you to show your support, and help us get started today! Click this link to fill out our Intergenerational GBV Engagement Project Survey, and be a voice for your community! https://lnkd.in/de9_Q6mK

“I believe we could change the lives of so many families if we just started listening, truly listening to their stories.” – Jessika Harlston “Community change is a vocation, it’s not a recipe.” – Mark Cabaj “So I think as we all pick this up as a priority, it increases the opportunities for us to work together, and really make some achievements that haven't been available in the past.” – Linda Hall These are just a few responses to host Luke Waldo’s question “How might we overcome our most persistent, long-standing challenges, so that we can promote meaningful community change?” In season 2 of Overloaded: Understanding Neglect, we hope to tell the story of how our systems and communities overload families with stress, and how we can learn from our past to do better by changing those conditions moving forward. To accomplish that, we invited people with lived experience to tell their stories and vision for their families, direct practice professionals to show how collaboration and innovation can help overloaded families overcome their challenges, and research and policy experts to share their frameworks and strategies that can change the conditions that overload families in the first place. This collaborative effort inspired conversations focused on our four critical pathways – Economic Stability, Social Connectedness, Community Collaboration, and Workforce Inclusion and Innovation - that will shape the future of our Strong Families, Thriving Children, Connected Communities initiative that aspires to reduce family separations for reasons of neglect. Listen and subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts or find it here: https://lnkd.in/eyfmaR6T Linda Hall, Clare Anderson, MSW, Timothy Grove, Jermaine Reed, Marc Seidl, Liz Weaver, Rebecca Murray, Jessika Harlston, Joshua Mersky, Ayesha Teague, Leah Cerwin, Meghan Christian, Gabriel McGaughey,

Keynote Speaker | Storyteller | Social Justice Warrior | Community-Centered Guru | Creator, Ascending Leaders in Color | Hornet Nest Stirrer | Always striving to be his authentic self in the spaces he occupies.
MemoryFox is doing something incredible. They are leading by learning. What do I mean by this? Let me tell you. I found a word in the first sentence of their post promoting their March 13 event -- where I will be a panelist -- to be deficit-framed, which was a meta moment considering the event's sub-headline is "Rising Above Exploitative Storytelling." The first sentence of their post asks, "How do you tell the experiences of disadvantaged populations that are receiving services without contributing to stereotyping?" The answer in my head: We can start by not calling them "disadvantaged." You see, the word "disadvantaged" is being used here as an adjective. By describing the population as disadvantaged, it becomes deficit-framed language because it places the blame on the population for being "disadvantaged," rather than connecting their systemic disparities with their systemic causes. Obviously knowing this was not their intent, I privately brought it to their attention. Their response? They encouraged me to share publicly because, in MemoryFox's words, "We have always maintained that we are here to learn alongside our audience." That, my friends, is integrity! And now I am even more excited to share space with my fellow panelists and the MemoryFox team! I implore you to sign up for this important event to learn how you can craft narratives with integrity. #movingracialequityforward #ascendingleadersincolor

Did you know that there are 622 Area Agencies on Aging throughout the USA? Tri-County Office on Aging is happy to be included as one of these institutions! An Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a public or private nonprofit agency designated by a state to address the needs and concerns of all older persons at the regional and local levels. AAAs are primarily responsible for a geographic area, also known as a planning and service area. This could be either a city, a single country, or a multi-country district. AAAs coordinate and offer services that help older adults remain in their homes if that is their preference, aided by home-delivered meals, homemaker assistance, and whatever else it may take to make independent living a viable option. Find your local AAA by visiting Eldercare.gov or calling 1-800-677-1116. Image Description: White graphic with lineal orange shapes on the top and bottom. The text in the middle says, "Did you Know there are 622 Area Agencies on Aging throughout the USA?"

Did you know? The elderly population in Wisconsin is projected to nearly double from 2010 to 2040. Our population’s quality of life and life expectancy have grown thanks to advancements in the medical field and beyond. However, longevity can also pose challenges including unexpected health costs, outliving assets, and even older adult homelessness. Organizations like Eras Senior Network, Inc. mobilize volunteers to make important contributions to the community, allowing seniors and adults with disabilities to maintain independence.
