All children should have the opportunity to thrive in healthy environments
Our goal is to work with communities around the country to promote child health and wellbeing and center health equity. We know healthy environments can look different, and our data-driven and equitable approach empowers communities to do what works, equipping them with the tools, evidence, and insights they need to make lasting change.
Our Process
Catalyzing Communities, a ChildObesity180 initiative, develops deep and meaningful relationships with community partners, and helps them mobilize a core group of multisector community leaders to improve the health of their community. We use facilitation and evaluation techniques grounded in systems science and help our partner communities visualize the complexities of their unique challenges to identify high-impact opportunities for change.
