Changelab Solutions: Building Healthy, Equitable Communities Through Supports for Working Families (webinar)

How can workplace policies support low-income families?

How can government programs and policies for low-income children and families be improved?

Last month, ChangeLab Solutions launched the Building Healthy, Equitable Communities Series—a virtual space for collaborative exploration of the topic of health equity. Between April and October, we will be offering strategic trainings to examine how law and policy coupled with community power can catalyze new opportunities for everyone to achieve their full health potential. Topics include food systems, schools, the built environment, preemption, and more (see schedule).

We’re pleased to announce that our second episode, Building Healthy, Equitable Communities Through Supports for Working Families, is now live. Please join us!

Read our blog post about 6 policies that have fallen short of providing working families with the support they need, and explore resources that will help you learn more and take action.


Join us on May 17 for a webinar in which we’ll highlight the potential of paid family leave policies to support and strengthen low-income families. Vicki Shabo, vice president for workplace policies and strategies at the National Partnership for Women & Families, will open the conversation by offering insights on the critical role that workplace policies play in her mission to support working families.


Follow up on May 22 with our interactive panel, during which experts with diverse backgrounds in supporting children and families will engage in thoughtful conversation and answer your questions on the blog and the webinar. Panelists will include Kimarie Bugg, CEO of Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere; Sharon Terman, senior staff attorney at Legal Aid at Work; and Sherry Leiwant, co-president of A Better Balance.


Our first episode explored health equity as a principle and a practice. Did you miss it? Not to worry. Though we just wrapped up Building Healthy, Equitable Communities Through Equitable Laws & Policies, you can now view (or share) all the components of this training here!
