• "This 5 minute MCH program is really cool! You sign up and it directs you to different training opportunities, etc. I’ve been having a hard time pinning down when to do some of the trainings in the self-assessment, and this email just gave me the encouragement to put some MCH webinars on my calendar. Just sharing as I am finding this to be a great tool for self-development!"
• "Advocate on behalf of participant needs, promote access of Medicaid services via providers, educate self and participant of latest information."
• "This information will be used to inform the workplan objectives for 2016 contracting."
• "I found it interesting that there is a large focus on school readiness and school function as a measure of health. It really speaks to the need to develop interdisciplinary relations among systems serving the MICH populations."
• "In looking to advance a public health agenda, knowing the current gaps in services to address the root of health disparities is imperative."
• "I will keep in mind the Healthy people goals and do what I can to advance these goals."
• "I will do my best to set a good example for those around me to live a healthy lifestyle mentally, physically, and emotionally. As a 23 year old, I am in the category subject to many detrimental health concerns; however, keeping situations and circumstances in perspective and doing my best to live a healthy life will hopefully lead others to do the same."

Suggest additional trainings that can be used by others to support learning in this competency.

• "Community and the environment, determinants and outcomes."
• "Learning what a child actually goes through at school. Understanding their perspective on situations that occur, rather than stepping back and assuming they would handle it internally the same as you would."

Ask questions about the learning opportunities.

• "Depth of Altruism."
• "Is healthy people 2020 realistic? As much as I support the mission and active push for healthy lifestyles for all individuals, is this actually achievable? What companies are working together to push for this idea to be successful?"
